You pick your medium and craft up something good and autumny. Anything goes; paper crafts, fabric, knitting, welding, whatever floats your autumn boat.
You have until next Thursday(the 27th) to express your interest. PM me with your snail mail and e-mail address and I'll give everybody their trade partners by Saturday the 29th.
I'm thinking the finished projects should be in the mail no later than October 19th.
Keep your cost for materials under $10.
Yay!

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Wed, September 26, 2007 - 7:07 AMI LOVE dia de los muertos! Sugar skulls anyone? How about those skeleton dioramas? I'm not big on American Halloween, though. I already have an idea, I just need to put it in motion. -

Thu, September 27, 2007 - 11:54 PMOkay I guess officially there is 10 minutes left here on the west coast, but I'm calling this closed. We have 8 people, if I counted on my fingers properly(it's always good when I don't have to bring in the toes). I'll probably have the names sorted and out by tomorrow(but no later than Saturday). -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sun, September 30, 2007 - 7:48 AMI'm for surprises, unless my crafter has a question, then I'm okay!
Pin, I LOVE the Random Box Discoveries!! -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sun, September 30, 2007 - 8:13 AMI'm for surprises but here's the situation -
The thing I am really itching to make is candles....Some people are not fans of burning them or decorating with them. Some people also have sensitivities to smell. I am one of them, so I tend to make beeswax/soy candles that have a gentle beeswax scent without having to add anything too smelly. But I just want to make sure this would be a good bet for my partner. I'd hate to make her something she can't use / enjoy.
If this person wants to be surprised, she should post here how she feels about candles! Ha ha! Everybody tell me your answer in case it's you.....
I don't mind being surprised! In fact I think it would be more fun -- because then both the gift and the giver are surprises. I don't think I've done this when it was round Robin before. Fun idea! -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice

-
Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sun, September 30, 2007 - 8:52 PMGee Fang I have a pretty good idea that you will be a hit with making a candle. I love candles but anymore I prefer to decorate with them I have been known to forget to blow them out. Plus I have had more than one overflow. Ick not fun to get out of the carpet,but not impossable to do.
I will probably wait till after next Sat. to start on mine. I have a pretty good idea what I want to do. -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Mon, October 15, 2007 - 7:16 PMSo glad that you like your little witch pumpkin. Would you please take pics. I did take some but managed to loose them. I need to buy a new memory card for my camera, this one has glitches now and then showes a full card and to take pics again the whole thing needs reformated. I did that forgetting that I had your pumpkin pictures on it.
Kathleen I did include a suction cup to put on the window to hang the pumpkin, didn't I? If not let me know and I will mail you one. I use tham alot but do remember to check it to make sure that it is sticking well to the window. Another option is to get a piece of chain and attach it to the ring on the top of the hat and then put a hook in the window sill.
Hope you get lots of years of pleasure from this little gift.
Patty -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Mon, October 15, 2007 - 8:16 PMI have a window to the side of my front door that has a cup hook in the top where we have another stained glass piece hanging usually. The pumpkin is taking its place for the time being! I'm always afraid the suction cup will give way!
I'll take pics tomorrow and post! -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Tue, October 16, 2007 - 11:14 AMYea!! Mine arrived today. I don't know Kathleen I think I won! Lark made me a beautiful Autumn Tree out of cut metal. Thanks Lark I Love it. It is now proudly displayed in my shop for everyone to enjoy. If you don't have pics, let me know and I will take some and post. Thanks again! What a fun trade! -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Wed, October 17, 2007 - 10:07 PMGlad you like it! I got cold feet after I mailed it and saw that you did stained glass. I thought "oh geeze, what is she going to think of some hunks of steel?". I had a great time making it and figured that was at least 1/2 the fun. I have a funky photo out in the garage, that I'll post - will you take one of it in it's new home?

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sat, October 20, 2007 - 5:52 PMMine went out today
went to the post office asked for $20 back and bought stapms
got to jamba juice and no $20, darn it
i called the post office, "gene" said, the post office is like the bank, you leave with what you leave with and i responded quickly with
"no way dude!!!!, that's my money. you have to go ask her about it..."
he asked, which teller?
i said, the Asian lady with medium length black hair and big purple eyeshadow (the eyes shadow did not shadow any particular part of her face - it was kinda scary pearly purple floating on her face)
he comes back, she says she gave you the money
he said at the end of the day we will see if her till is balanced and called you
i said, ok, that's fair, thank you
i have been out and about and have returned home to a message that her till was over by $20 and that they open on Monday at 9
ok -

Fri, October 26, 2007 - 10:31 AMI got my gift from Karen yesterday!
When I got home, it was dripping wet, as if it had sat in a mud puddle before going into my mail box!
I was so relieved to find she had wrapped it entirely in plastic - smart cookie!
It's a lovely 'welcome' painting to put by the door for fall. I love the colors. Thank you Karen. I will take and post a pic soon if you don't have one.
I am getting someone's package ready to go out today. -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Thu, November 1, 2007 - 8:29 PMI finally shipped out the gift I made for my partner yesterday. Since so many people have traded by now, you may guess who you are. Know that it is on the way, and I'll check back soon to make sure it made it. Yay, that was fun.
Oh also, Karen, do you have a pic to post of what you sent me? If not, may I post a pic of what you sent me when I get a chance? I did take one. -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sat, November 3, 2007 - 12:39 PMI got it! I got it! Yes, I had begun to suspect. Thanks FANG. It looks awesome on my mantle. I'll take a pic tonight so I have FLAME with my amazing blue and red candle. It may not be what you "had in mind" but to me it looks just like red sandstone against a perfect blue sky. You couldn't have done better! -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sat, November 3, 2007 - 12:43 PMLadies
I have to say thanks to all of you. You let me come and play and I love it! This has been a topic of conversation for me since we started (my husband has started to shake his head and say - I know it's about the trade....) I have obsessed, worried and pondered, and generally given myself something to do other than obsess worry and ponder the mundane, art is so much more fun. So again Thank you.
Can we do this again SOON???
Affectionately,
Lark -

Re: Autumn Trade-Crafter's Choice
Sun, November 4, 2007 - 6:29 AMHa Ha! You are thus hooked, much as I experienced my first trade. My first was with Peggy the crazy cat lady, the most amazing shiny sparkly quilted purse, talk about being blown away by what came in the mail!
I am so glad you like the candle. I will post my pic of it now. And a pic of what Karen sent me.
Thanks guys, you are amazing.
