Hey everyone!! Since the first edition of this swap went so nicely, I decided I'd host it again.

All of you who participated in the first round already know what this one is about, but here it goes again :))

The idea is to create some nice piece of jewelry with whatever you think will look good. It can be any material you want, but please, make sure you check your partner's profile to see if s/he is allergic to anything. Also, it'd be really nice if you took the time to see if your partner has any favourite style/colour. While this swap is sender's choice, we want out partners to wear what we send them.

Each participant will be assigned one partner and we will all have two full weeks to craft our stuff and send it.

As usual, everyone is more than welcome to join this swap, but please, NO FLAKERS!! Also, if you enter the swap, YOU AGREE TO RATE YOUR PARTNER!! I know this may sound silly to many of you, since rating is the easiest part of any swap, but I received a comment from one person telling me she had not been rated... so, anyway... join, have fun and... well... yeah, have fun :)))

If you have any questions, leave a comment in the section below or PM me :))

Happy Swapping!!!

Can the swap be any hand-crafted jewelry item?

Florcis 09/29/2010 #

Hi @BarkleysMommy :) Yup, absolutely anything you want... Just make sure you check your partner's profile because you might choose to make, say, earrings, and your partner doesn't like them or can't wear them because she's allergic. The idea for this swap is to have fun and to get something we can wear safely. Thanks!

It's starting to become apparent to me there are certain swaps I like signing up for, over and over again. This is going to be one of them. Loved mine from the last one, I can't wait to hear from my partner when she receives mine (she's in Portuagal and I'm in the US)

Florcis 09/30/2010 #

Hi, @CraftyRiki !!! I'm really happy you think that way!! And I'm also happy to hear you got something you enjoyed^^ And from so far away, too! sounds cool ;)) Thanks for joining again! I was thinking next time, why not making it a theme swap? What do you think? Any suggestions?

Can it just be beads? I have all sorts and all size beads. Would like to join this swap but not sure my partner would care for my homemade jewelry. :(

Florcis 10/ 4/2010 #

Hi @angelmadkatkrys :)) Hmmm I'm not sure I fully get what you're asking... Do you want to make a necklace with just beads, or send the beads alone?? As to make a necklace only with beads, of course you can. As to send the beads alone... I don't think so... This is a jewelry swap and your partner will be expecting some piece of handmade jewelry. Don't be afraid and give it a try :) It doesn't have to be anything fancy or difficult, just have fun with it and keep it simple, if that's what's worrying you.

angelmadkatkrys 10/ 5/2010 #

No I dont mean send just the beads. Lol. I understand that this swap is for handmade jewelry. I meant just a beaded necklace or bracelet but you have already answered the question for me. Thank you.

Florcis 10/ 5/2010 #

hahahahaha great, then :D sure, just go ahead and use whatever you want ;)

Can someone please tell me what archive means?

I am really loving this kind of swaps, only the waiting till you're rated and if you're partner likes you're handmade items makes it worth while for me. So just like last time i am in!

andelmadkatkrys - it's a place where historical records or files etc. are kept...maybe not always historical but like a bank of information sort of....or a system of information and where it's located...hope that helps.

It looks as if some people do not have any helpful information in their profiles at all. Like their wrist size, or necklace lengths they prefer, or even their favorite colors. How am I to know what to send while keeping the element of surprise and not giving away who I am to my partner?

Florcis 10/13/2010 #

hi @KnottyDesignsNY :) well... if your partner doesn't have that sort of info in his/her profile, then s/he can't really complain about what you send him/her, right? Don't worry :)

KnottyDesignsNY 10/15/2010 #

Okay thank you

slewis234 10/16/2010 #

florcis, maybe just pm them and ask a few questions. i have people do that all the time. i'm going to add some details to my profile because i realized after reading your post i don't have some of it listed! so thanks.
