Comment: I absolutely LOVE her! Thank you so much for "Scriptina" and the extra doll! I wish I could give more hearts.
Response: Oh, I'm just happy you like her...and do have fun making your own version of a literary doll! I know it can be really inspiring to have some bits and pieces to play around with as a 'riff' on a theme. Hugs from Korea!

Comment: Just found a bag with some swaps in that I received just before I moved tucked away in a box I have finally unpacked. The ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Corpse Bride ornament you made me was amongst them. It's one of my favourite ever swaps. She's now on display and will be displayed all year round, but I will use her as my tree fairy when the tree is up this year 'cos she's so gorgeous and beautifully made. Her face is just perfect : ) Thank-you so much for making her for me Judy : ) I'm really sorry for not rating you sooner.
Response: Wow, wonderful! I'm so glad you liked her - had a lot of fun making her and regretted that I didn't photograph her before sending off. Appreciate the rating! Hugs, J

Comment: Wow! SO many wonderful gifts! Where do I begin! The cutest little teddies! The marvelous little hand mirror kit! Lovely letter sets! Millions of wonderful surprises, more than I can even count! I will have to take it all out and go through it tomorrow when I'm rested, but I wanted to let you know it got here in great condition, and that I'm so grateful! The best thing, of course, is the Unicorn Art, by Kat! Masterful, Kat!
Response: She is STILL lovin' on her ami - it came to Canada with us for the summer - so I'm glad you feel equally loved and spoiled! And any time you feel like making a daddy and baby unicorn ami to complete the family ...that would make a wonderful Christmas surprise... :)
icrad rated for Parts and Pieces on Jun 7, 2011

rating
Comment: Thank you! I love the fairy! :)
Response: She was a lot of fun to make. I deliberately kept the necktie light and the wire bail large, so that if you found her too large for a pendant she could become a faery tree or Christmas tree ornament. Thank you for rating ...and for the heart!

Comment: LOVE IT!!!!!! Thanks so much.... I don't know if I coud part with any of it..... thanks bunches!
Response: Well, I hope it'll be inspiring and that you can at least bring yourself to use some of the pieces! I know that feeling when you want to hoard your pretties, but challenge yourself to incorporate the bits, first in things you will keep and then in art to trade. :) Enjoy!

Comment: Wow! I felt like I was walking down a Paris street, stopping at shops, buying items...the box is wonderful!! Thanx!
Response: (happy smile) J'adore le items Parisienne, and even here in Korea it's not too tricky to find themed goodies. If you felt as if you were shopping in little stores, then I'm completely delighted!

Comment: I just received the most wonderful woodland kawaii package! I love the Fairy letter papers, they're so pretty!! Thank you for taking the time and care to put together such a nice package for me.I would love to swap you again if you ever find yourself in need of more dishcloths :)
Response: I LURVES my dishcloths and really have to make an effort to actually USE them and get them dirty! I know, that's what they are for, and they work wonderfully, but it's so hard to do it the first time! Perfect colours, lovely textures. (Did I tell you I'm saving the scrubbies for coasters?) Thank YOU!
AynE rated for Elven Leaf Brooch on May 11, 2011
5
rating
Comment: There are a few people on Swap-bot when I see their name or know that they are my partner in a Swap, I smile because not only are you a warm, wonderful person to interact with, you are also an incredibly talented individual with an excellent eye for colour, form and the ability to put it together. Even the packaging is amazing, the box is incredible. I love the pin, the raised veining on the leaf is superb. If you hadn't told me it was paper clay I would not have known. I love the copper wire detail, perfect, not too much or too little and you did three green accent jewels. How did you know? I have this thing about odd numbers when it comes to embellishment. To me 3 or 5 of something looks better than 2 or 4. The fact that it can be worn as a pendant is just bonus points and I love the versatility. The only thing I have to say is....where are the earrings to match????
Response: Oooh, you just made my day with that great and detailed comment! That paperclay is frustrating to work with (soft, doesn't hold detail well compared to sculpy) but it IS light and strong. I had fun making it for you - and the odd numbers are a design principle of mine as well - comes from Asian floral design originally! As for the earrings - if you would seriously wear a pair of mini leaves each with their own wire wrap and single green jewel, I would totally make them. Pierced?

Comment: I received the most amazing heraldry design that incorporated most of what I listed and is very personal, and special to me. The detail and skill that were used is amazing and I will use it. Thank you so much,

Comment: Another generous wonderful thoughtful fun and BRIGHT package from the Masterbard! Swapping with you is a real treat! LOVE the notepad! It is just what I've been looking for! Everything was super cute and I know I'm going to end up hoarding those big stickers not wanting to "waste" them on something unworthy! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Response: Happy happy happiness! It was so much fun to pick out those things for you. It's easy to get a lot of this kawaii stuff, but so difficult to get things like Tim Holz or vintage style over here - which is why I like doing private swaps that focus on local strengths and/or handmade goodies. Can't wait to see my box come in!

Comment: Oh my gosh! This was so cute! What a completely awesome idea! My friend and family loved it and I soo totally want to make one now! I have an associates degree in auto mechanics and this was totally up my way. Many hearts!
Response: Oh, I'm so reassured - I felt a bit insecure that it didn't totally fit the description, but everyone who has seen these little boxes LOVES them - and I'm glad you did. May your zeppelin never break down!

Comment: Thanks so much for the box of goodies! It was obvious that you put alot of effort into everything you chose. My husband and I had a great time trying everything. Hopefully we can do another swap in the future.
Response: Glad it was yummy! I'm always happy to send things that represent Korean culture. Let me know what you particularly liked or didn't and I'll be happy to pick out another box in the future. Oh, and I shared the earrings with my friend - she wore her pair to church the NEXT day! :)

Comment: I love this package you sent me! My favorite part would have to be the handmade block, its able to sit on my shelf of owls and hold its own spot! I also adore the cup, stickers and earings to name a few! Thank you so much for sending such a thoughtful package to me!
Response: I hoped you'd like the block especially - it was so much fun to make and distress for you. Unfortunately I never photographed it before it went in the mail! Could you send me a pic of it 'in situ' on your shelf? Would love that!

Comment: Hello Judy, I received your "Primeer of Samtharia" today in the mail. I really liked that it was a book not only of strange creatures, but of strange plants and people. I like that these creations came from a land that is part of a fantasy world you and others have created. So, this bestiary is from your imagination. I really enjoyed reading it and that parts of it rhyme as you read it through. Thank you too for the pen and ruler to use on future papercrafting projects. I will enjoy adding your book to my collected work. Barb sleepingrover2010
Response: I'm so glad you appreciated it as it was meant! Yes, those beasts (and plants and people) are all from our own imaginations, in a very thoroughly populated fantasy land. If you say the letters as the first part of the 'rhyme', all of the pages will scan and rhyme properly, by the way! Hugs from Santharia, Judith

Comment: WOw! What a fantastic package of Kawaii...so much Cinamaroll stuff! I hid all of that for my daughters' stocking...she is going to be so surprised! But I am keeping the little deco tapes and stamps for myself! Thanks so much! I hope you get your barbie pack soon!
Response: Hah, thought you might! Next time we swap, do ask for some more things for yourself. I had a lot of fun putting that together and was delighted to actually find as much Cinna-stuff as I did. Hugs, Judith

Comment: I absolutely LOVED how you put this together. It was beautiful. Everything about it was perfect. What was extra special was the little sewing kit-- I've spent an unhealthy amount of time with a needle in my hand for the last month (in fact, as I type, I've been sewing the last 12 hours trying to finish something for this weekend.) Opening the package really made me smile.
Response: I can't believe it got there so fast! So happy that you liked the sewing kit - I LOVED trying to imagine myself into the world and head of this formerly spoiled princess as she tries to pull together some sort of new life, just to get enough to eat.... and I could envision her carefully pulling threads from the hem of the single court dress she wears, now ragged and stained, to wrap around bits of twig to create her own small kit... Hugs, Judith

Comment: Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the envie full of papers and ephemera. I love them all. So beautiful! And I'm in heaven over the double-sided origami papers. I absolutely cannot get double-side origami paper here, so I am thrilled.
Response: I am delighted to know that it arrived in good time - and even more delighted that you loved the package so much. I always aim to spoil my partners, and it sounds like you feel spoiled... :) Hugs from Korea, Judith

Comment: Thanks for the wonderful parcel ! There sure is a lot of things to work with ! I love everything, but especially the old chinese pages. Are they from a special kind of book ?
Response: I enjoy spoiling the people I swap with, so I'm glad you think it was generous :) The calligraphy pages are from a reproduction 'manual' which I got from my friend's antique store (she runs a Chinese/Korean furniture warehouse) and parcel out bit by bit for my crafts and swaps. Hope you'll enjoy using it all!

Comment: Thanks for the ATC and kit. I really like the faces you carved - I always have problems with the eyes...
Response: That was one of my more daring stamps, and I didn't use an eraser for it, either - I wouldn't trust the material not to crumble in those little details, like the eyes and lips! I love my carving block but can't get them here, so am portioning it out piece by piece for really special stamps.... Glad you liked the result!

Comment: BEST PACKAGE EVER! Lol, I was so excited opening up your package. Everything I pulled out of the bag was wonderful and my daughter is very impressed by the kitty cat box. Thank you so much for all the cute goodies and letter sets! I especially love the clover deco tape. I haven't even seen that one online for sale yet! =)
Response: Yay! You liked it! It was a lot of fun putting that together (and yes, Jetoy Choo Choo kitties are much-loved and appreciated by my daughter as well....) You did say you liked clovers, I believe, so I was chuffed to find that tape. Hugs, and thanks for the heart! Judith

Comment: My rating is scent-less. (Is that even proper grammar?? Probably not. Ha!) Though, the candle I have burning right now does smell...like autumn and spices, unlike my rating. Thanks for the laugh!!
Response: And a good thing too, because I have serious allergies and would give you a total 0 for a scented comment! Are you sure there isn't any cat hair on it? Because you know when you let your kitty type, we can tell..... . Ditto - laughter keeps the doctor at bay!

Comment: What a wonderful package!! You really had some creative genius moments working on these! :) I love them all and I was even inspired to go ahead and decorate for Halloween early this year - what fun! I put up a couple of photos on my Flickr page so you could see what the tree looks like decorated. (The wall behind is still blank - I'm still working on the wall quilt that goes there. Hope to have that finished next week.) My Halloween tree looks fabulous! Thanks for swapping!!
Response: Yay, yay, yay...you got them AND you love them! I admit to some very Burtonesque inspirations, from only slightly grim to poignant and macabre....but I loved the overall effect and was sorry to part with them :) Glad they will be so appreciated where they are! Hugs, Judith

Comment: Words cannot express my love and appreciation of these two wonderful pieces of art you sent. It's amazing how well the mannequin piece fit perfectly into the color scheme and themes I had already started. I love the interactivity of all of your work and the multi-dimensional and sensual experience of looking, touching, and admiring every detail. LOVE IT!!!
Response: So so so happy! This was, bar none, the most absolute favorite artistic swap I have ever done on this site. I truly apologize for making you wait so long for it (bad timing, just before vacation!) and promise I'm not going anywhere for Christmas. Your beautiful altered book is on permanent display in my livingroom (and the canvas in the diningroom, as I promised!) Any time you want to try this again, or swap art pieces, please let me know!

Comment: What a great goodie bag! I loved the book and the cloth (so pretty!) and the picture frames and I want more of the deco tape strips!!! I love them! The stationary I can definitely use and what is that lovely paper lace trim? I would like to find more of that too! So many awesome things! Thank you so very much! It is truly a pleasure swapping with you! :-)
Response: That 'paper lace' is peel and stick, if you can believe that! If you are careful, you can use both the sticker side AND the shiny plasticized 'waste', which is just as lacy and pretty - just use a good glue. I think I picked it up in Japan, but the Daiso 100Y/1000W stores here (I mean in Korea) might also have some. I'm so glad you loved your baggie and will trade with you anytime - hugs from the bard!

Comment: You could just knock me over with a feather. What a wonderful package! I am just crazy about my steampunk emergency kit, it is positively one of the neatest things I have ever seen! It was so much fun looking at all of the tiny trinkets in the little compartments. And all of the lavender, thank you so much. I know that is one smallish line in my profile, so you wouldn't necessarily know how much I truly like lavender (the plant and the color). But, I love the smell, and have big bushes of it on my patio. Please tell Katherine how much we appreciate her ATCs, Victoria intends on making some in return. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful swap package. P.S. That dinosaur egg is the coolest thing ever! He's got a front row spot in my curio cabinet
Response: Happy happiness! I just had a feeling about the lavender.... and I thought you would be the perfect person for that steampunk kit... in fact, one of the few people to whom I could part with it... :D Kath is thrilled to get her own feedback and hopes Victoria will like using her own stash goodies as well. And I'll be happy to share my secret for making those dino eggs - some basic chemistry is involved which your daughter is sure to love as well! (evil grin)

Comment: Spouse to Martha: "What was the best part of your day, m'dear?" Martha to Spouse: "Opening a packet from Bard Judith and her Kit Kat!" Gracious me, thank you both so very much for the exquisite packet of goodies. My favorite bit is the thank you tag from Katherine. Thanks for the many varied origami papers, the vast assortment of Korean ephemera papers, the sticky notes, the stickers... I sigh with contentment as if I've eaten a great big meal and drunk a glass of excellent wine. Thank you. Kansahamnida.

Comment: i love it thank you its perfect. well made (better than what i sent you i am so sorry can i re send) thank you for the other faerie things how do you make the wings? <3<3
Response: Yay, it got there in good time! The wings are my own little trick, but I don't mind sharing... fill a ziplock bag with ice water (MUST be very cold or you just melt the bag in the next step) and use a low-melt glue gun to create your shapes. You can do free-hand or put a template on the counter UNDER the bag to follow (especially good for patterns that have to be symmetrical, like wings!). The glue chills and peels off almost instantly. You can then spraypaint, etc. as you like!

I could have rated this swap before even receiving it as I know what an talented artist you are, Judy. It desperately needs to be worn and who says a fascinator is not appropriate for dropping your daughter off at school? Right? Much Love, Laura
Response: I'm certain you 'fascinated' more than one teacher peering from a window or other parent dropping off a child! And who knows, perhaps some kids will be inspired as well by your daring? Way to spread the glory of steampunk and the joy of handmade art! I was so happy to be making it for you... <3

Nettle tea is something I've never tasted before, I'm really looking forward to trying it. I'll be trying the gumbo recipe as soon as I can figure out a substitute for okra. :-) And the necklace is great - I will wear it with my Magrat dress when summer finally arrives. I'm sure I'm forgetting something too - thank you for everything, the letter, the coins, thank you so much. :-)
Response: (claps hands delightedly) I figured you would appreciate the extra effort! I had so much fun writing the letter in 'Oggian' style - channeling Nanny seems to come rather effortlessly, worryingly enough. Do check out the cookbook, which I own and love!

The powder puff is simply gorgeous, too - all of it is. I can't wait to try the samples and display everything on my Victorian dresser.Thank you so muchQ
Response: Aren't the base pieces lovely? I've always liked the Korean wood combs and brushes, and they are so easy to decoupage! I'm glad the colours worked out - I literally had only ONE serviette in the theme, but it was just enough. Remember, the vintage lace can come off the puff if you want to use it as a doily underneath! Hugs from the bard XO

Just a thrill to hear from you, my sister in Christ, from across the world! I love these cards you are so talented and all the pretty extras too! Thank you, thank you. May God bless you this year through.
Response: It was wonderful to be able to be so connected - by words that are so ancient and yet so relevant to our needs of today - by words written faithfully down by men inspired by faith - and, of course, by that shared faith. God is indeed working in my life to bless me, after a season of struggle and scarceness - may he be present overwhelmingly in your life as well!

The magical mirror of thinness is awesome. The clip will go in my hair. I was secretly wanting more hairclips, you read my mind. All made so tastefully and beautifully. The Korean stationary rocks! I loved your note that went along with the swap, so "in character" for the swap. You are so talented, I look forward to swapping with you in the future.

Comment: Hello Judy, Sorry I am slow in getting your rating done, but I appreciate your patience with me. I just love your poem comparing your cooking to your singing. You did a great job of using both words related to cooking and singing that gave me a great feel about both. Your addition of your own art creation on the front of the postcard added that "over the top" element to complete your poem. I will proudly add your poem to my Poetry Journal. I think this is our first time to be partnered up on Swap-bot. I hope we have further opportunities to swap with one another. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping! Barb sleepingrover2010

I also liked that you took some of your newspaper on your own language and wrapped the tag in it. I will definately use that in my scrapbooking or my cards. A heart for you :-)
Response: I thought you'd appreciate the newspaper - I don't read Korean, but I speak enough to get by day-to-day. Most Koreans are proud of their English and want to practise with 'a foreigner', so it's not often a problem. I'm so glad you loved the tag - I really enjoyed embellishing her, and it's great how quickly it got to you. Let me know about private swap ideas in the New Year! Hugs, Judy

Yes, I'm intrigued enough to think about a faux postage project using some of the Prester John images - a sort of alternate reality in which the kingdom survives up into Victorian times.... it may or may not work, but I'm going to have a try at it.. :) Glad you liked the zine, and thank you so much for the heart as well!

Comment: Neat ATC. The envelope is neat, too. Did you make that? It fits the ATC so perfectly. Thanks!
Response: It arrived! Thanks for rating and letting me know - I still get anxious when stuff has to be mailed so far around the world. I probably made the envie, as I generally use actual playing cards for my ATCs and customize them to the recipient, though (blush) I don't recall which exact one I sent in this swap. At any rate, I'm happy you liked it!

Comment: A fantastic presentation and an intriguing spell. Unfortunately I have met far too many who have already turned into pigs, so it's the latter part that I am most glad to see! =)
Response: (chuckles) I thought that might catch my fellow Craft-ers fancy - it was a great deal of fun to research and write, and could've been a paper if I'd put less graphics and more detail in .... Anyhow, I'm honoured that you liked it - my first zine ever!

Comment: Excellent cards; very well-done--Thank you! I forgot to give you the heart when I rated you first (my life is not entirely my own these Holi-daze); but I have been wanting to use dress patterns on collages, and now I have some! Thanks loads, Melissa. p.s. I will reply to your intriguing swap suggestion in the very near future--right now--gotta pick up the kids!
Response: Great, glad they got there and that you appreciated them. I had a lot of fun designing two cards to make a 'spread' that would look good together but still have their own distinctive 'gender' - and of course, it was fun to use actual fashion-related supplies!

Response: Whut, no comment? :D Seriously, thanks so much for the rating - and the heart! This was my first-ever zine and while it was labour-intensive, it was so much fun. I'm also a teacher/artist/writer and enjoyed your profile (Kahlo! Van Gogh! long skirts! collage!) Hopefully we'll be in more swaps together - till then, a hug from the East and the bard, Judith

Comment: I love her so much :-D The postman looked puzzled when he rang my doorbell and said: "You have a package from Corea" I laughed so hard. I don't know why he thought it was so weird recieving something from Corea as I recieve stuff from all over the world all the time. Oh well.. As I was saying she is the cutest little piece of bacon I've ever seen. And the little tiny one is cute to - as you said now I only need one more to have a collection. I appreciate all the time and efford which I can see you put into her. Thank you thank thank you! - Btw. your yarn just went out today :-D
Response: LOL! So happy you love her - she turned out so cute, didn't she? And I'm happy about the yarn coming in! (I find these sorts of swaps so much more 'rewarding' than the big 'buy me something off Etsy' types where it's basically just shopping for a stranger. This way I get to know someone far more individually.) My postal outlet on campus here doesn't even blink now when they see me walking in with all kinds of strange things to go out to Denmark or Brazil or Canada by now.... even unwrapped piggies! Hugs from Korea!

Comment: Thanks for a great swap. Olivia really enjoyed receiving her bag of goodies :-)
Response: How exciting! Katherine got her envelope today and was completely blown away by it (and a good thing too, because otherwise she would've been insanely jealous of all my mail that came in!) She sat on the floor positively gloating over her goodies and kept making little remarks to herself about them (see your rating!) I promised myself I would only do art swaps, not buying swaps, but this was so worth it to see the happiness on her face and to let her get 'stash' like Mom. Thank you again for making both of us so joyful tonight!

Comment: what a neat idea to wrap the ATC's in patternpaper! beautiful cards, thank you :-)
Response: (grins happily) I couldn't resist. It was fun to use those little sewing/fashion details - and I love using pattern tissue to soften and blend collages anyhow - so it seemed like a natural extension. Hugs from over the ocean, Judith

Response: Just remember, heavy on the garlic.... :D It's making my evening to hear so many compliments on the zine all at once (I should scroll down more often, eh?) - thank you for letting me play and getting me hooked on zines!

So beautiful and elegant and I loved the quote! You have outdone yourself, you are truly an amazing addition to the group! Thank you again so much! Many hearts to you!
Response: Hey, with that kind of warm-fuzzy comment, you can rate me late and be forgiven any time! I had a lot of fun with that one and was so honoured to be invited to the group in the first place. Hope you found a good book to put it in! Hugs, Judith

Comment: I received your lovely handmade postcard & random poetry. Thank you.
Response: Happy you liked it, and hope the collage arrived in good shape - I hate to laminate them, even though I know it would protect the elements - it simply destroys texture!... And thank you for both the comment and the heart!

Comment: Both ATCs were FABULOUS, thank you very much. I really loved your choice of images and arrangements. I do a lot of collage so I really appreciated the ones you did. It's amazing what you can with such a small space. Thanks again!
Response: Oh, you've made my evening! (Home in bed, feverish, but dragged myself to the computer :P ) I'm glad the envelope got there so quickly, and thank you for such a glowing response (now I'm glowing too, but not because of the temperature.... )

Comment: Thank you for the GREAT selection of paper items and extras!!! So many unusual papers!! And the postage stamps on the package are SOOOO cool !!! I'm sure to use them in a project, too!! :-)
Response: Awesome! I always make sure to ask them to put 'REAL' stamps on so that people get that extra little exotic touch from Korea, not just a postal rubber stamp... I'm glad you liked the package - I get a kick out of choosing things that North American swappers don't have easy or inexpensive access to...isn't that part of the fun? :)

Comment: I love the postcard of Ganesh! Thank you so much. I also really enjoyed the poem you were inspired to write with your words. What a beautiful surprise in today's mail!
Response: Yay, it arrived! I hoped you might particularly enjoy the design/poem: one of the things I like the most about swapping here is the fun in reading people's profiles and trying to create something specifically for them - it's so satisfying. Thank you for the rating - and heart!

Comment: I got your package today!!! It was sooo quick!!!! You can't imagine my happiness when I saw everything you've send me! It was probably the best package I've ever got since I'm in swap bot!!! It was perfect!!! It had so many things that I love and that I can't find anywhere in here. I can't thank you enough really, it was amazing. I'm still smilling because of that box of wonder. You deserve 90000000 hearts just for this package. I loved everything! I've been having so many problems with my personal life lately and this just made me happy and, you can trust me, I really needed that ^^ Thank sooo much again, you're AMAZING =) ** Melody
Response: Wow, that comment made MY day! I'm so delighted that you loved it, because I did put a lot of thought into trying to guess what you'd like - it's so nice to be right...but nicer to make someone else so happy. :) Heaps of hugs along with it, Judith

Comment: Fantastic package! I loved all of it. What a wonderful variety of things. Thanks for the mini-stash of blue with a challenge to use all of those items in one project. My daughter loves the sticker, she kept saying shiny over and over! :) Thanks again!
Response: Yay! At some point I hope to host a kid's swap - not just stuff for our children, but art they create traded for and by them. Glad she liked the stickers - hugs from the bard!

Comment: Wonderful recycled postcard collage. Love the green and copper color scheme. It made the trip from Koren in good shape. Thanks!
Response: Oh, that's good to know. I love making my own postcards but worry a bit about how they'll hold up in the mail. Yours was created from a cardboard cup holder take-out box, from a Korean coffee franchise, btw! Glad you liked it.

Response: *jumps up and down happily* So glad I got to send you something, and very happy that you like it! Profiles are awesome, aren't they? I'm never going to join another of the 'just buy something' swaps - it's way more fun to make something with love and care FOR someone! Hugs back, Judy
