Make Food with a Face

Calling all plush crafters! It's time to play with your food.

For this swap, you're invited to make plushie food with a face. Any kind of food item is fine, as long as it has features and personality and is stuffed. You will have one month to complete the craft.

Your plushie can be: * sewn with nice fabric, felt, or fleece * knitted * crocheted * etc. (am I forgetting a craft?)

The plushie is sender's choice, and should be at least 4 inches in length. Glue should not be used as the primary means for holding your plushie pieces together. Please use quality fabrics and yarn, and send a neatly made stuffie that you'd be happy to receive yourself.

This will take some time and skill to complete, so this swap is specifically for those who have already made (any kind of) plushies before. If you don't have a link in your profile to your Flickr/Etsy/etc to show stuff you make or have made, please PM me.

Everyone is welcome who has a very, very well-filled-out profile, at least 5 rated mail or package swaps, and proof-of-craftiness. Seasoned swappers should not have any recent/unexplained 1s or 3s, and anyone who seems risky will be deleted. And sorry, to keep postage down this is swap USA/Canada only, but feel free to do an international version if you please.

All the usual disclaimers: Please do not join if you don't plan on following through. If you are delayed for any reason, make sure to clearly communicate with your partner and with me. And please--remember to rate promptly when you get your food with a face! Your partner in plush deserves no less.
