Number of swap partners:3
Description:

You will have 3 swap partners and you will send each partner 1 altered charm. "What is an altered charm?", you ask.

It is a small piece of art that is designed by you made from found materials. You can use poker chips, dominos, puzzle pieces, bottle caps, fabric (an inchie) or cardstock as a background. Just make sure your finished product has a jump ring, is fairly sturdy, and is not too big. I love this artist's tutorial: http://www.artdolls.info/cat_tutorials.html more ideas: http://atcsbylottie.blogspot.com/search/label/Bottle%20top%20charms

For this swap I'm going to have to say no unexperienced swappers, and no "no sends" or ratings of 1 without some kind of sane explanation. If you are new to SB but have experience on yahoo or elsewhere and can show your handiwork, I will consider. I check forums for scammers, and I ban after the deadline if necessary. Since these are small, I will make this an international swap. This means that we will all be patient in waiting for our mail, so we don't have to spend a fortune mailing global express.

Are the charms supposed to keychain-sized or charm bracelet-sized? In the tutorials the charms look small but the one on the above looks huge for a bracelet.

I was hoping for charm bracelet size, but I know how hard it is to work small, we can go for charm necklace size - kind of in between bracelet and keychain.

Also, I use the smaller, dollar store (travel size?) dominoes. That picture is big, but I liked the way it showed the detail.

I just learned to do these and I'm so addicted now! So glad I found this swap!
