If your anything like me you still haven't put paint to board!... I gotta get my finger out... this has to be done by August 1. Had a few late entries... welcome on board, the more the merrier, total entries is now at 41, anyone else want to join in? Just send me your email address so I can match you up with someone to swap. We have a few Aussies in the swap, but no-one from England, join in guys! Please all be aware you might be swapping with someone from another country and the postage might cost a bit, but equally, postage from them costs a bit too. Whats a few bucks for the joy of getting and receiving a panel from your fellow Lettervillian? Have fun with this guys. On with the Swap!

Chuffed Chuphed Chuft ??????
Well, no matter....
However it is....
That's what I'm feeling right now !!!! Panel prototype 1.0 carved with 3 of 5 tools, primed, basepainted as of 11:25 p.m. PST - (I gotta start next one a little earlier - still learning! ) Tomorrow: mask, 2 more tools and finish!
I can already see a couple of minor changes, but all-in-all I'm, well...

Hey, I've done my first Live meet, Time for my first panel swap maybe??
What do I have to do Guys?
Posted by sarge (Member # 1022) on :
Hi WayneWelcome aboard.... I'll add your name to the list.... send me your email address so i can enter it in the database for the swap..... heres the theme etc.... Once again welcome on board....
"I had several Ideas for a panel swap but I decided to go with a combination of ideas from a lot of you that posted, most had a preference for an alphabet theme, others suggested something cartoonish… and a few others suggested a free for all… So for better or worse, lets combine the ideas and have this as a theme….
Panel Swap 6 theme is…. Using these elements.
Take your initials … e.g. J S … for John Serjeant…. DS … for Dan Sawatzky, etc.
Add the word …Signs…
And a …Cartoonish graphic.
And the words …. Panel Swap 6, somewhere on the panel.
Panels can be of whatever substrate you like… They can be as complex or as simple as you please.
From whatever materials you like, if you want to gild, route, carve. airbrush, hand paint, sandblast, or vinyl…. whatever!... its up to you, go wild, show us what you’ve got!
The finish time for the swap will be August 1. That’s eight weeks…. No point dragging things out…. We all probably work better under a deadline anyway! Please… if you commit to the swap, and I’m taking everyone here who has posted as commiting…, then please make time to do the panel.
Rules are similar to the last swaps, I will deal with any disputes or rule making as they arise… we aren’t kids so I’m sure we don’t need to be stifled by a bunch of rules… but if rules need making then lets agree any decision I make is final… If you don’t like the theme then do whatever you desire, just have fun with it!
As you finish your panels send me an email of the finished project and when we get a few finished we’ll start matching up the pairs and advise you who to swap with."
So all….. On With… Panel Swap 6

mines ready to rock just got to paint it.
Posted by Rose Davidson (Member # 6168) on :
'kay, so I was slightly enthusiastic about the carving when it done...
... and then ...
I started to paint it. Oy, it's a good thing that I'm carving more than one of these! I'm embarrassed to show this to my cat, much less exchange it with anybody here!
Good thing I've got time to play with this some more! Thanks to all of you for raising the bar for me! Posted by Michael Boone (Member # 308) on :
I spoke with Whitey today she will be in the mood pretty soon
Posted by Dan Sawatzky (Member # 88) on :
The dimensional piece I'm doing is being routed on the MultiCam as I type. I'm trying some new techniques and it looks like it is going to work out cool!
I'm looking forward to seeing all the creative things everyone will do!

Posted by Victoria Colella (Member # 5833) on :
HI Sarge,
I'm new to this. What is the purpose of the Panel Swap? How large are the panels? I've missed this one, but maybe next time.
Victoria
Posted by Talisman (Member # 1869) on :
My panel has been started.
Trying some new things here... Posted by Jill Marie Welsh (Member # 1912) on :
I have the background painted. I'm using a Super Stock sign blank that I originally bought for the Mars meet (back in the day I used to make myself these neat little panels when I went to an International) Well I never had time to paint this one for myself, so I'm gonna paint it for someone else (following the Swap guidelines) I even schlepped this little panel to a few meets but never had time to paint it. I bet it's glad to be wearing a new yellow coat. love....Jill
Posted by Kelsey Dum (Member # 6101) on :
I've got my cartoon done and the pieces cut out and primed. I think I'll take a break for the 4th and get back to it next week...not much left but a little paint and assembly.

Posted by Jill Marie Welsh (Member # 1912) on :
I have two....just have to glue something one one of them. I DON'T want two in return!!!! (Just sent Dawn Ellis almost 40 panels) This is just a "spare" in case someone fails to deliver. Love....Jill
Posted by sarge (Member # 1022) on :

Panel??? I don't guess I got the memo. What panel is this for?
Posted by Wayne Osborne (Member # 4569) on :
Nearly finished mine tonight!, This has been great fun, and I tried a few new things too!! Posted by Ian Stewart-Koster (Member # 3500) on :
Made a start yesterday, that bit's drying, still!
Posted by Rose Davidson (Member # 6168) on :
I'm one-third done with my version 2.0 Same basic layout - different base color that is closer to what I had envisioned, but couldn't find for ver 1.0 ~~ I'm glad I'm in good company! ~~ Thanks again Sarge! Posted by Dana Bowers (Member # 780) on :
Not real sure that Bruce will be able to get one done on time. We both have great ideas, but its difficult when you don't have easy access to supplies, or a place to do it. Plus him knocked off his feet with the cellulitis back, doesn't help.
Put us at the very bottom of the list as stragglers that won't get done on time. SORRY!!! (We're NOT happy about it.)
Posted by Donald Thompson (Member # 3726) on :
Mine is well under way. I will do whatever I have to this week to finish on time, I hope.
Finished mine yesterday. Just decided to put everything else off and get it done.

I am also withdrawing due to family matters, and I'm about two weeks behind in my paperwork, sorry about that.
Posted by Rose Davidson (Member # 6168) on :

Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
I gotta back out. Sorry to do it so late in the game, Sarge, but timeframe matters and moving are going keep it from getting finished.
Bummin'............ Rapid
Posted by Brian Diver (Member # 1552) on :
I can't believe I'm almost done - woohoo! I just have a few quick touch ups in the morning and I'll be shooting my picture over.
Of course it won't be sent out till late next week as I'm heading up to see Dan (Captain Router) in BC this weekend and fishing till Wednesday!

Bad as I hate to, theres no way I can get it done by monday. I designed it and had the board ready, but couldnt get to it. I apologize. Im very sorry. Posted by Si Allen (Member # 420) on :
Hey sarge....how about extending the deadline another week...so some of these people can get in? Mine is just about done.
[ July 28, 2006, 02:35 PM: Message edited by: Si Allen ]
Posted by Jon Butterworth (Member # 227) on :
Mine is not finished either! Been one hell of a month.
Hopefully I can send you the pic tomorrow night otherwise I will have to save it for the next one. Sorry.
Posted by Si Allen (Member # 420) on :
Today thephone rahg: "Hi do you make signs?"
I said "Nope!" and hung up!
Why waste time with the clueless?
Posted by Deb Fowler (Member # 1039) on :
Once working with a "child safe" outreach program, I made it known I did signs for a living. When they went to someone else for signage, I was a bit ticked as they acted oblivious to my feelings. Then when I mentioned this, one of the gals said, "Oh, you do signs?! I thought you did "sign language!". (apparently, I learned something about communication that I never thought of!
Posted by Ian Stewart-Koster (Member # 3500) on :
Almost done Sarge- but a day or more's extension would be nice, or else I'll send a photo of what it's like at the 80% stage, and still finish it before I mail it to someone!
( a few important things came up and I had to put it on the backburner, but it WILL be able to be swapped with someone )
