Updated: please join our creature in a matchbox flickr group. We can check out all the neat little creatures this way!

When I was little, one of my favorite possessions was a tiny babydoll housed in a little matchbox. I would constantly slide open the box just to peek inside. For some reason, I felt surprised every time! I now have a near-obsession with tiny decorated matchboxes, and I thought it would be neat to swap the following:

A decorated matchbox (either the larger count or the 32-count) with a handmade creature housed inside. Your little creature can be in any medium you like--paper, clay, beads, crochet/amigurumi, knit, use your imagination. It can be human, human-ish, monster, animal, or inanimate object with a face! It will, of course, be a challenge to create a creature small enough for the 32-count box, but a fun challenge.

You can decide if you want to create a little environment for your creature, or include some accessories, or use the box simply as a decorative container.

This swap will be international, and everyone must have a rating of at least 4.9, and no recent no-sends.

I like to angel my swaps, and I will be doing so for this one too, but I'm confident it won't be necessary!

What a lovely idea. I have to finish some swaps and join after that!

This sounds adorable and I'd love to participate. I just joined and have only just completed one swap. Too soon to have a rating yet. I'm having trouble finding any swaps for true beginners. I'd love to join if possible...
