Description:

This swap is for any artist or crafter that specializes in a specific medium or craft. You will make and send 1 item to 1 partner in this medium. For example, if you knit scarves you will send your partner 1 scarf (this is not my craft, just an example. I want mine to be a surprise!). I am loosely setting the $$ value at $10-15 (not necessarily just the supplies, but the time spent too) In other words, if you were to sell that item it should be valued at $10-15. If you make nice $50 purses, then send a small version of those purses, like a cellphone carrier. This is sender's choice (obviously), but please tailor your item to your partner. Make it in their favorite colors or themes, and please do not send them anything that could be offensive to them (no nudity or religious themes unless your partner says its ok). As a receiver, please be open-minded. This is just as much about learning about fellow artist/crafters as it is about receiving something cool! For hearts, send a description of your technique or how you made the item. Again, if you knit scarves you could send a knitting how-to.

Sorry but USA only! I am pretty broke right now, otherwise I would make it international. Maybe I will do this again if it is successful.

Please do not flake! If you end up not being able to send, message me and we will make arrangements. Please noone with less than a 4.7 rating. If you have a lower rating, I may let you join if you can send a reasonable explanation. I understand that things happen in life!

from the hosting guidelines: "MPORTANT: A swap coordinator can help their users determine how to rate a swap accurately, but they should not make specific rules about when to give a heart."

Oh thanks, I haven't been on in a while, and when I was that wasn't a rule. What I wrote isn't really a specific rule anyway, just a suggestion. I only say for hearts because I didn't want to make it a requirement as not everyone wants to give away their tecniques, especially if they sell their work.

Thanks to all who sent out on time! You have made this a successful swap. Unfortunately, we did have one flaker, @sourfruit who is now partially suspended. I had considered not letting her into the swap, but gave her the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully she stays suspended so she cannot flake on anyone else!
