Are we allowed to list preferences of handmade items we would like? pm me to let me know please

hippofairy 05/ 4/2008 #

is there a price range? like, i wouldn't want to spend lots of time on a nice bag and get a notecard in return.

what do you think?

starrycat 05/ 5/2008 #

I also think being able to list the type of things we would rather receive as well as a price range would be good. Since I don't make paper crafts, I too would be slightly upset if I spent alot of time making an awesome altered t-shirt, or a bag and end up with some hand made note cards that were not well designed/crafted.

orlypoli 05/ 8/2008 #

Hi ! I'm sorry for not answering sooner. Every swap member can make a list of 5 things she would like to recive most. Please remember that not everyone is an expert in every craft style. I for example don't know how to sew, so keep your list made up of a few craft style (sewing, bidding and so on...), so each one can find craft style she is best at. I don't want to make a prise range because it is very difficult to put a prise tag on craft items. I hope that each participant spend time on her partner request so we all will be happy with the things we get (and if not, that is also a part of a swap... just don't give a heart if you think that your partner didn't spent time and love at his work). I hope things are more clearer now.

My list: Tote bag, Illustration for my daughter room, Softies for my daughter, Mini album, Necklace, Something from paper mach. Thanks !!

stacirose 05/ 8/2008 #

Thanks for clarifying - this is a wonderful swap idea!

  1. art for my wall (I've been fascinated by cubism and mixed media art - but your specialty will definitely be loved!)

  2. something nerdy/geeky or Latin themed for my husband (his info is in my profile)

  3. functional art - LOVE IT!

  4. something ceramic (can't get enough!)

  5. glasswork (could be mosaic or blown - whatever!)

Thank you!

PS...if you are my partner, feel free to send me a message if you find something I specialize in that you might enjoy! I love creating custom work! :)

starrycat 05/ 8/2008 #

My list!

  1. jewelry, or Accessories!! I'm more into the whole punkish look for accessories...and for jewelry anything is fine, especially if it's hip, lol

  2. Stuffies/plushies!!! I would love an anime character stuffie, but any cute stuffie is fine!

  3. A funky purse or bag

  4. Groovy soaps or candels

  5. Art for my wall! If my partner is a photographer, I would love a poster of one of your shots! That would rock too!

AmandaC 05/ 8/2008 #

I will love anything that is your specialty as long as it's not thrown together in 2 minutes. :)

orlypoli 05/ 8/2008 #

Hi JL ! U r allowed to list preferences of handmade items you would like, but try to leave some range so your partner will have the possibility to craft by her style. For example, on my list i wrote "Necklace" but didn't choose the colours or the materials. If my partner want to make me really happy, she will look at my profile in order to learn more about me. Hope now things r much clearer and you will join our swap.

spinningpretty 05/ 9/2008 #

Hi Everyone!

I would love anything baby related (for our bun in the oven), onesies, bibs, baby toys and so on. These could by out of any fabulous crafts that people do : )

Wall art, brooches, gocco prints... anything else really you can come up with!

Thanks!

YooperHill 05/ 9/2008 #

I am a paper artist. My plan was to make HM notecards, gift cards, and post cards for my partner. Yes, I do understand not wanting to receive an ATC, or HM notecard or two if you make a bag, or other "large" item, but I always send a "large" package of my creations and usually receive good feedback on my swap packages.

The change to the requirements makes it difficult for me to stay in the swap. Though this often happens, I wish people who ask questions, and want to tighten up requirements would just start their own swaps.

Dropping this time, but hoping to swap with you soon!

cerwinrhiannon 05/26/2008 #

I do a lot of beading and work with yarn, so I wouldn't need anything like that. I like matchbooks, stuffies, things made with fabric (like mini quilts, but not dotees-I have enough of those), paper mache is cool, tip ins on a theme I like (see profile for that).

If you have any other questions, PM me. This would be such a fun thing to work out.

  2. Beading - necklaces and bracelets, but no earings please!
  3. Love wall art or notecard sets, especially if they include envelopes
  4. I love to knit, but I am always apprecitive of others work, med socks or a light weight scarf would be lovely
