Description:

In the theme of this group, let's each make our partner our very best and useful handmade item! Value at a craft fair, $10 please. This is not a swap to practice a new craft on. It is for showing off your mad skill!

Examples:
1 large or 2 little Handmade soaps and/or lotions.
A Handsewn tote or purse.
Handmade set of 3 matching dishcloths
Beautifully sewn pillow case for throw or bed.
Set of at least 4-6 lovely coasters.
At least 8X10 framed art suitable to hand on living room wall.
Necklace and coordinating jewelry (Not out of plastic/pony beads)
Beautifully-felted wallet
Intricate hand-knit summer shrug or wrap
Exquisite Hand-thrown pottery vase.
Lap Quilt

No ATCs, collaging, or sets of Greeting Cards on this swap, please. If you only do paper-crafting, an 8X10 framed painting or drawing is acceptable. Or you can use your mixed-media talent to decorate a set of canisters. . Wall art has to be framed, because it is supposed to be something your partner can use without having to do work on it herself. It is sender's choice, but if you are making soap or jewelry or the like, please do check for allergies or if your partner hates a certain scent.

This is meant to be a swap for skilled adults who have enough talent to make a fairly sophisticated, tasteful and useful object. Something like a pencil holder made out of a flower pot or coffee can with a bunch of embellishments is not acceptable!
You will get almost a month, so do it up right!

Oh no! Can you make something with the stuff you already have? I'm challenging myself not to buy any craft supplies for three months. I feel like I have enough!
