A top hat would be good, or maybe a waistcoat... I'll see how things are going when you get to sign-ups. I do have bins and bins of ratty scraps that need to be used for something.

Glad you liked the blog. Pretty sure there's lots of faeries in our woods - just the sort of place they like.

Aww, that's the most romantic thing I've seen in weeks (including Valentines day!) There's no love like cephalopod love!

Wow! I can see I'm going to have to set aside an hour and go through the Gibbous site. Some really, really awesome stuff there. It's not my style (to wear), but I love it anyway. They've exactly caught a kind of layered, randomness that I've never been able to achieve myself.

I'm definitely lurking for this swap at least!

Wulf

Wow, what a lot of stuff all at once! Montyfull, those drawings are fantastic - the costumes and the characters are so perfect. The exact blend of Steampunk and Circus that I imagined but wasn't able to achieve. And now it's the Capelet Swap! (Last week it was the Mustache Swap.)The detail on that absolutely makes it. I have a brass wind-up key exactly like that, but unlike you I couldn't find a way to incorporate it into anything. Next time, I guess.

Dizzerspinninround, I really like that Victorian picture of the little girl. Sweet and yet somehow creepy. (Like so many good things.) Beautiful work, all of you.

And yes, Ralph and I will be a late-night snack long after the main feast of crafting is over.

I don't find the paintings especially creepy on their own, but combined with the texts, they do have a certain something. They remind me a bit of Brom's novel "The Plucker". Lovely work; I hope we see more.

Wulf

What a great costume! I love the fact that the photo of it on the dress form gives absolutely no hint of how spectacular it'll look on you. But next year you gotta work on the hubby - a nice mask, but it just can compete!

And Austin is obviously a lot more fun than I would have guessed.

Wulf

Don't worry about your English - it's as well-constructed as your wonderful bag! I love the asymmetry of the detail on the flap and the big grommet (ring) on the front. You were right to design the whole bag around that. The key clip and pocket is a very clever thing, and I intend to steal your idea when I re-build my own bag, which needs to be quite soon.

Wulf

Wow! You put that video together fast! That just raises the bar for the rest of us, I guess.

Wulf

A monthly thing would be great because once it's going you know that there'll always be at least a few people there and if you have to miss one you can always get the next month.

I'm sorta Eclectic Wiccan with a minor in Buddhism myself, lol.

I love that description! In the same way I can say I'm sorta Golden Dawn with a minor in Wicca. Fits perfectly!

The WWP Swaps are how I first found my way onto Craftster, via Knickertwist's blog. Few of the other Pagans I know are crafters at all, and so this immediately stuck me as something I wanted to be a part of. Having lurked around for a while now, there are several other things about this group I really like, including its globalism (crafters from around the world and enough Canadians to feel like home) and its eclectic acceptance (people practice a wide range of traditions or none at all, and nobody seems to care if you're "doing it right"!) I'd say, Lydia, that this is as welcoming an entry into Paganism/Wicca/Whatever as you're going to find anywhere! The complete absence of "witch-bitchery" is remarkable. 

And don't worry, hawkeyes_girl, if I don't make it for this swap it'll just give me a head start on Round 19 for Beltane!
