Handmade Bizzaro/Strange/Off Beat Swap

I SO wish I could join, but I am swamped until Christmas. If you decide to run another one in the new year, let me know!

Now how could I say no to a swap hosted by YooperHill?? Sure hope the computer gods smile on me and give my name and address to her!!! I have been experimenting with some unusual materials today--this could be just the thing for this swap!!

man-i really need to join more swaps and get more ratings, cuz you come up with some awesome swap ideas! have fun! (and soon i'll get to sign up for one of yours! yay!)

great swap i worked on several items tonight that will fit into this catagory what fun.

Yeah, I am new and almost all swaps won't let newbies join (which is understandable) but this swap would be right up my alley:)

ITA, agonysdecay! Maybe we can find someone that will be willing to run a swap like this for newbies. 20 ratings takes a long time to get!

This sounds like fun. I should have 20 ratings, but it seems I send to a lot if people that just don't rate (or don't rate me?). It is quite frustrating, especially when I have worked so hard to send a nice package. Maybe next time...

What kind of thing? ATC? Altered notebook? Does it matter? ... both those take longer than an hour; does it matter. Am I just slow? What can you make in an hour?

I'm with you halfwaythere! I can't make anything in an hour either! I just shrug off time suggestions, I may be slow but it just means more time doing art, right? Anyway, generally, the more time and thought you put into it, the better it comes out.

I've never been in a swap with a 'time' value before.

I agree that my ATCs etc. would usually take longer than that, so I'm going to try timing myself...
If after an hour, I think I've created something worth sending, then I'll stop, but otherwise I'll just carry on and make a note of how long it really takes to produce!

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one... I was thinking I must be really slow. I found somthing fun to alter yesterday for this! Now I'm really excited. I really like the idea of makeing somerhing bizzare :)

hmmm...I was not really thinking of ATC's, more along the line of crafts and such!

Crafts, like? Are altered things considered crafts?

yes, an altered noteboopk would be great! I guess I was just thinking of items "bigger" than ATC's.
