source unknown for Pan ornament swap graphic

For this swap, you will create one flat ornament for your partner with the theme of a mythical/magical being, witch, god, or goddess. Senders choice, so you can get started now and the turnaround time will be short.

If you keep it flat, you can send it with one stamp in a card or note in the US and whatever the international postage is for one card for international partners. (Sorry, too lazy to go look it up)

This can be fabric, card stock (make it nice.... don't slap a sticker on a picture and call it a day), a button fairy, metal, upcycled CD.... whatever, as long as it is flat and can be mailed as flat mail.

This is crafty witches, so let's be crafty! I am serious about the paper/cardstock comment above. If you are making a paper ornament, put some thought and care into it. I am making this a type 3 swap, as some will be sewing and I will make my own pattern for whatever I make.... keep that in mind, so things are equal and fair.

These and these are awesome.

These and these... not so much. copied from totem swap. I couldn't bear to go look for more bad stuff.

Be sure to add a hanger!

This is open to new members of Crafty Witches! I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason.

Some inspiration for techniques in flat artwork:

Pyrographed Dragon

Suncatcher Dragon

Dr Spock button fairy HILARIOUS!!!!!

Wire Goddess

felt goddess

another felt goddess-beaded

felt gnome

glass slide gnome

beaded cabochon-would make an awesome Medusa

painted dryad

beaded felt Cyclops

unicorn shrinky dinks

embroidered mermaid

sharpie on laminate tile sample fairy

embroidered Nessie

altered CD mermaid

Some ideas are: painting wooden shipping tags or flat disks, painting or etching tin scraps, fabric printing with embellishments, piecework, mason jar disks, victorian style, simple embroidery, well... on and on.

I'm going to have to move this to my watch list for now, sorry. I'm not sure my imagination is working with me so well these days. :/

NO problem, Alicia! It's good to know your limits. @LeeMeow I know, that Cyclops blew me away!
