I really have to admit that I like to host art swaps!
Well maybe I love the start, then its really cool when all the amazing work starts to arrive at your door steep, Then there is a blurry part that I don't like so much (kind of like child birth) But once all the work part is done, I must say that I find great satisfaction in packing it all up and sending it off :)
These are the Charms that I created for the swap, I machine stitched a felt heat and made Fabric word Pillows
( I have a upcoming article On Fabric Charms in the May/June issue of Cloth Paper Scissors and I tell how to make the word pillows along with two other fabric charms)
This is a Close up of the charm bracelet that I made and put together for 11 of the girls
11 Bracelets all lined up
Here is a list along with the links of all the wonderful girls that I worked with:
