Hostess |
|
|
What's your project's name: |
|
|
What's your tagline: a little descriptive one-liner about your project |
|
|
What's your project about: |
|

artists will participate in your project: It is suggested that projects have a set number of participants: |
|
| What kind of
project is it: Mingle, Optional Mingle, Swap,
Tip-In, Collaborative? (Round Robins are not hosted in the group).
|
Mingle
Optional Mingle
Swap
Collaborative
Tip-in |
| Describe the
details or the scope of your project: please provide details as to how the project will be run and what the
participants need to know when creating and submitting their
work. If this is a collaborative, what guidelines do the
participants need to follow when creating their work. Is this
going to be a bound book? How many copies do they need to
provide (it is suggested that three extra copies be submitted by each
artist to provide for any problems with punching and coiling and also
to make an extra book for charity). Do the copies need to be
embellished, mounted to cardstock? |
|
| What is your
project's dimensions: what is
your project size? If it can be within a range of sizes include
the smallest to the largest. |
|
| When will
your project take place:: Relevant dates for the project: your start date (Saturday
is the best day for sign-up, usually noon EST), any intermediate dates,
your end date. Timelines are excellent ways to give your participants
an idea of how to schedule their
project time. Start and end dates are mandatory; intermediate dates
are at the hostess's discretion. In the case of a project that
needs assembling or trading out by the hostess, also provide the mail
dates for the participants to send in their work to the hostess as well
as the hostess mail date to return the completed projects to the participants. |
|
| Will you be
awarding a prize: Would you like there
to be a judging for your project such as Best of Show? What will
your prize be? |
Best
of Show
No
judging for this project |
| If you're
going to award a prize how will the judging work: If there is
to be judging for a Best of Show prize how will it work? Will
the submissions be judged anonymously? Will they be judged by
the members of the group? How will this be done? Will the
submissions be judged by a guest judge? If so, it is up to the
hostess to procure the judge. |
|
| Do you need a
template: when needed
you can work with Rande or Gale to formalize
and finalize your template to make sure it prints properly (previous examples of templates: fan project,
banner project). |
Yes,
there will be a template
No
template for this project |
| What would
provide some inspiration to your participants in the creation of their
work for your project: Links to personal websites or blogs that might provide
your participants with inspiration, books that would provide your participants
with ideas. |
|
| What about
your prototype or sample:
There should be a prototype
constructed by the hostess to show what the completed project could
look like. In the case of a fat book you can provide a photo of
a previous fatbook created in the PaperWhimsy Group. If you were
not a participant in a fatbook in the PaperWhimsy group please contact
Gale or one of the moderators for photos. In most cases a project cannot commence until a prototype is completed by the hostess. |
Yes,
I have a prototype
No,
my prototype is a WIP |
| Project Requirements: Project requirements must include one original PaperWhimsy image and/or
one orig. PW image and one component from the PaperWhimsy shoppe. In the box
to the right please list out possible components that a participant might use from the PaperWhimsy
shoppe in this project. |
|
|
Ex.: this was used for
the Faerie Slippers Project:
SUGGESTIONS FOR PW EMBELLISHMENTS: Anything from the Frills and Froufrou
or Fiber sections of PW; rhinestones, leaves, flowers, ribbons, roving
or Angelina Fibers. But don't be limited by these suggestions, there
are lots of fun things in the PW Shoppe that you can use, just think
small. I used Prima Flowers, Prima Leaves and Roving on mine...plus
assorted sequins, beads and embroidery thread. You MUST use at least
one embellishment from PW but the choice is yours!
(Note: paints and glues, even those purchased from the Shoppe,
are not included as a component parts to satisfy the requirement for
this project.) |
| Advertising: The hostess will
create a buzz about her upcoming project in the group. Best done
in the Chat area in a sticky topic. Daily teasers approx 5-7 days
in advance of start date will help create excitement about the project
and anticipation of the opening for sign-ups. Hostess will also
be visible during the project dates, supporting the participants and
providing positive feedback on their artwork and ideas. |
|
Support: Each hostess will be assigned a
Moderator who will mentor them and assist them with their project if and when
needed. Moderators can assist with sign-ups, creation of a database
for project participant details and the creation of a template if one is
needed. Moderators can provide suggestions for teasers and the best way to
advertise the project. Moderators can also step in and trouble shoot in
the event that there is a problem. Moderators will not, generally,
anticipate a hostess's needs but will be available to assist should the hostess
need it. Please remember that a mentor just assists the hostess when
needed; it is the hostess who will be the most visible person during the course
of their project and the one who advertises and drives their project. |
SURPRISE! Hostesses will receive a $25 or $35 gift certificate to the PaperWhimsy shoppe upon the successful completion of their project! And you receive a gift certificate for as many successful projects that you host. There is no limit. The amount of the gift certificate will depend upon the nature of the project. Simple swaps will be $25 gift certificate. More involved hostess participation in the swapping or assembling of a project will be a $35 gift certificate.
