NH: Blackout Poetry for Beginners

This is basically the same swap as **this USA only public swap being hosted by @mandaanne *. She has kindly allowed me to use her idea and wording. (";)

Blackout Poetry can be done by everyone, and you can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want.

To create your Blackout Poem, choose a page from a book or newspaper (or a photocopy of one) and find a poem in it by "blacking out" all the words that aren't part of your poem until only the poem remains.

Info and inspiration:

- Blog post from the creator of this technique: Austin Kleon
- Google Image Search for Blackout Poetry

For this swap, you may make a classic Blackout Poem using just a black permanent marker:

OR you may do a more 'altered book' style with colours, paint, washi tape, or other collage elements:

You will have some time after partners are assigned because this should be a poem that is somehow inspired by your partner's profile; try to make it something they will enjoy receiving, that will brighten their day!

Don't forget to include the swap name and your SB moniker so your partner can rate you.

Please make sure you have a well filled out profile AND that you have logged onto SB April 18 or later so I know you are still active here.

Have fun!
