I also voted blind trade. I just participated in a canvas trade over at the other forum and it went great. 20 artists sent their names to someone who blindly pulled a name from a hat and another name for who to send it to. No one has complained about the piece they received or sent so far, and 17/20 have been posted. The requirements were minimum 8"x8" canvas. I sent a 16"x20" canvas, this one:

This is a great idea. I would love to participate but have absolutely zero artist talent.
Please post the work when you get it.
Very cool.

it wasn't your style i was worried about, haha it's mine
it think it's because i have been doing these fucked up dolls lately and i was all excited about making one for the trade. but i was worried who ever got it would hate it, maybe i should stop being so self concious.
i'll go with the crowd, lets go blind.

If we want to keep this annonymous then the only way to do it is that we would post our pieces. PMs will be sent out and it will be up to the artist to decide who to trade it to. The pieces stay up and none of them get marked as "traded". This way, the only person who knows if the piece is gone is the person who made it, and the person it is traded to. An ending date should be established so no more pm's after. Doing this the blind way is kinda fun, but it won't be if you get a piece that you're not feeling. Whatever way we decide, there will be pieces that no one wants. That's just the way life is.

yeah i just made this two head girl/ human torso(quad amputee) with hino esque boils all over their faces, and a cute little embroidered tattoo on their stomachs that says "together forever" in a banner with a craniophaligic skull. and a frankenstein patch work heart on their chest with little lightning bolts. i was going to post a picture but i just spent 1/2 an hour in cord hell trying to figure out which cord connects to camera to the lap top, where is my husband when i need him.. haha maybe later tonight.
so guess i will get sewing....
this should be really fun, there is so much talent on this board. after this is all said and done, maybe it would be fun to to open up a thread for people to post their art facilitate trades for toys or other art, or they can just post prices. i want to own more original art and i think it would be a great way for us all to expand our collections, at prices we could afford.

I voted for blind... I think its just more fun to get something mysterious in the mail. Plus, not getting what you wanted will only spurn more interest in the next trade...like real blind boxes!! ok maybe i'm overexaggerating, but I still like the blind idea.
Maybe there should be a theme to make it more fun?

Someone needs to figure out how this is all going to go down. Are we posting the pieces we make or posting the pieces we got? When will we know who gets what? We all know the size restriction and due date (Feb 15th), but we need more solid details. Is there going to be a cut-off date for people to join? So many questions.....sorry.

Due Date/ Post Piece date: Feb15
Trade will be lottery. I will pull names out from a hat, I have lots of, and I will PM the artist who to send it to. I will also pm everyone who's they got. Anything after the 15th will be for next time. We will know who got what from everyone posting the pics of what they got. Maybe we can do this a monthly thing so we always have a goal to do one a month.
Hope this works out.

I can't wait to finish my piece. I just need to know, are there any specific mediums or are some people going to be doing pencil sketches and such? Or is it whatever you want it to be? Just curious!

My understanding is that is is a free-for-all....except the size limitations. Other than that, you can make whatever you want....dolls (like jessie did), sculptures, paint, draw, whatever you want.
