The SECOND STS Customized Animal Figure Swap!!!

What is this swap and how does it work?
You will fill out the following form about yourself and your likes and preferences, and send it in to me. You will receive someone else’s form in return, in which you will repaint and/or customize an animal figure for that person. You will also receive an animal figure in return from another STS member.  

The person you are painting an animal for is not painting an animal for you. In other words, you will receive an animal from a different person than you are painting for. If you have any questions for the person you are painting for, they will need to be sent to me so the surprise is not ruined.

    There is no experience necessary to participate in this swap. If this is your first repaint or your hundredth, we encourage you to participate! The whole point of this swap is to have fun, it doesn’t matter if you’re good or not!      

Please note, there is no monetary limit or required amount, so please don’t send more than you can afford. There is no need to feel like you need to keep up with everyone else, this is for fun!!  


Be aware that with any event there is the possibility of someone not coming through on their end of the deal. We hope that everyone here is honest and will follow through with the swap, but in the worst case I will try my best to pair you up with someone else so you do get a repainted animal in return. Members who do not follow through will not be allowed to participate in further programs or events and will be reported to the STS moderation team.


If you have never sent an international package before, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s very simple to do and if you need help the post office will be able to help you. You might have to fill out a little form but that’s all. Please research the cost of shipping internationally before signing up.  Check out the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]!


Before sending in your form, please make sure to read through this post and if you have any questions PM me or post in this thread. Someone else may have the same question as you do!

Guidelines:
• Must have active STS membership for at least ONE YEAR
• Must have at least 10 posts AND have at least 3 posts within the past 30 days prior to this post
• Have fun and be creative!
• Any brand or “unknown brand” animal may be used for the swap, but please use only figures in the standard “major brand” scale. No super tiny or very large animals allowed, but if you would like to do a super tiny or super large animal in addition to the regular swap animal, feel free to do so!
• Any customization is allowed, just please keep it appropriate. The idea is to be creative!
• Please be aware that if you are under 18, a written letter of parental permission may be required.
• YOU MAY NOT BACK OUT of the swap after partners have already been assigned. Members who do not follow through will not be allowed to participate in further programs or events and will be reported to the STS moderation team.


You may start sending in your forms by PM. You have until September 30, 2015 to send in your form. No exceptions!
Partners will be assigned hopefully the week of October 1st, 2014. I work a busy schedule so please be patient and bear with me!

The deadline to mail your package is November 7th!

LeeAnn, I am glad this initiative is having its 2nd edition and I hope people have fun with it!
It is always exciting, surprising and a fantastic way to share the works of talented STS friends!

OMG ! Should I try ???

What if people hate what I make ? And what if I get something nice, while I can only make something with my 10 thumbs ( at least)?

Susanne, you should! A gift from the heart is without measure. And I'm positive anyone from this forum would be happy to have a work of art by you

Anything anyone takes the time to paint is a gift and would be loved.
i'd be grateful and love my custom even if it was a rock from someone's garden and painted

Unfortunately I've not been active enough to do this again, I would love to ..

I'll send mine in in the next week. Husband and I are negotiating details. :)

Yay, that's done. Hmmm... now to look up those tutorials I know are around here

Sadly haven't been here for that long, otherwise I'd love to join, lol! <3
