Thanks to our own Chris "Kissymatina" Welker, Letterville Panel Swap Number 3 is now a reality. Here are the panels in a slideshow format. I know you are going to be inspired to get involved in Letterville Panel Swap #4.
If you see any errors, such as misspelling someone's name or have a better photo than what we are presenting here, please let us know about it. A cover page would also be welcome. Step By Steps Page. It may be time these panel projects have a new page all of their own. In the meantime, enjoy the talent and wit of those who take part in these wonderful Panel Swaps.

(now that the topic heading & link are fixed...I'll be willin' to overlook the 4 on top of every page... so much great artwork to look at... such a shame to have been a "panel dropper" this time)

I think Dana's is the cutest (altho I know we're not supposed to have favorites) I'm just bummed that I didn't get #4, it would have been perfect for June's wig. But I LOVE my lunchbox! Thanks Ron! Love...Jill

Great stuff! If you are wondering about the two "fish" panels from down-under (mine & Army Dave's) ... they were done at the mini panel jam we had at my place:) We used RT's airbrush and heat-gun background technique and an aboriginal drawing of a Barramundi.
Haven't received my panel yet, but at least now I think I know what it looks like.

Just wanted everyone to know if they didn't know already, that the very first panel shown is a portrait of letterville's own Pat King stretching to get that last letter on the walldog event in Atlanta Illinois 2 years ago. He put up with us "waterbase" walldogs pretty well! Did you recognize yourself, Pat?

Dale, we commited to doing a panel and then the host (Kissy in this case) sent us a name to send it to. (That's the short version!) There's been 3 swaps here on Letterville and when #4 is offered up, start making a panel and get your name in the hat! Under "Step by Steps" (to the left) there are photos of the past swaps. The OTHER way you can get in on a panel swap is to attend a live meet. Alot of swapping goes on there. Some times those are very organized and sometimes someone just says "Hey' I really like your panel" and the other person says "what you got to trade?".

Thanks Terry. I was trying to make it look like one of the neat old tombstones I saw on my trip to Scotland. It is made out of a piece of slate from my sister's barn roof. The wood backer is something I had laying in the shop for about 10 years. It is called "Spooky's Cafeteria" after my cat who bit the big one last fall. We used to have an outdoor feeder for her, and all the neighborhood riff-raff dined at it. Naturally it got that moniker. I thought it would make a cool chalkboard. I smalted the frame, and I painted the thing with 1-Shot after studying several old headstone pix. It looks better in person. (the daily special is "what the cat dragged in") I about died when Jeff put the Coro that I shipped it in up as a joke when he said he got his panel. I don't do everything on Coroplast! Glad ya like it. Love...jill

Because of mostly our of town work I've had to pass on all three panel swaps to date. But now I have a shop of my own at long last and am spending more time there than on the road. I may just get in on Panel swap 4!

Shiela. The original slideshow I posted was full of spelling errors. I changed a few manually, but that seemed to cause the problems you describe. Late last night I redid the whole thing. Are you still seeing problems?

Dave.... You can say "I". The rest of us have to say "aye".
On that note, I say "aye".
Better "you" than "I"! LOL!
Hey, great job on those panels! Impressive.
Have a great one!
