Hippie Craft swap?

Would anyone here be interested in a small craft swap? You can trade with anyone you like who responds, just do the address exchange through email.


So if you want to get in on a trade, just leave a message here, with:

1. What types of things you make.

2. What types of things you like.

3. Favorite/hated colors, special requests ( i.e., vegan, nothing pink)



All trades must be sent off within one month from the trade date agreement. This way there's a deadline, otherwise there can be lots of procrastination!

All trades must be worth 10 dollars or less. I think the smart thing is to keep it small. After you've traded successfully with someone, go on and up the trade value!


You can do more than one trade at once, just be sure not to take on more than you can handle, it really hurts to be on the receiving end of nothing, I've had it happen to me before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's mine:

1. What types of things you make.

~~~Bellydance belts and hair falls, grocery bags, crochet items, menstrual pads and hair goodies.



2. What types of things you like.

~~~Anything water-themed, mermaids, octopuses, snakes, moons and stars.



3. Favorite/hated colors, special requests

~~~I love deep blues, purples and greens. No plastics please.

Ooh that is such a cool idea :) I love swamps and barters!

Hmm not this payday but next I will have a few dollars for art supplies and I can think of what I can make that folks may be interested in. Maybe I should experiment with watercolors since that would be an infinitly cheaper product to barter rather than the costs for a full canvas oil :)

Thanks for the idea! I will certainly think on it!

If I turn out a good Neptune or mermaid I will let you know (that would be rather cool in watercolors) and maybe I can beg off either a belt or hairfall *grin* that sort of stuff is obviously right up my alley ;)

I will repost this on my lj

Great, I would love to do a swap with you, but let me know what you like.

Here's mine:

1. What types of things you make.

container candles

scented body/bath oil with a half-coconut oil base (usually I use plastic bottles, though...)

salves/unguents

special incenses


2. What types of things you like.

I'd like to try out the cloth menstrual pads, I think... and I can always use chains to hang work IDs and keys around my neck, or tarot card pouches, or bags of various kinds.



3. Favorite/hated colors, special requests

I like vivid colors and also earth tones - bright teal and brown are favorites.

I like flowers, oak trees, cats...
