Badger Mushroom Snake Swap?

[Kerallyn]

I was out with a friend shopping for fabric today and I saw a table of Easter baskets.  One of the baskets was shaped like a coiled up plush snake.  My first thought was that it was a little odd for an Easter basket, but I would totally put on the table and fill it with apples.  I pointed it out to my friend and said as much to her.  She said either that or badgers and mushroom.  Well, I cracked up laughing and immediately thought that would make a wonderful theme for a swap.

Now, if you don't know why that's funny, go watch this video; you don't need to watch the whole two+ minutes.  After the first 30 seconds, you'll either love it or hate it.

Now, as much as I love badgers, mushrooms and snakes, it has the potential to be a rather limited theme, so I was thinking it might work best as a single item swap and people can choose if they would like to craft a small, medium or large items.

Would anyone else be interested in this kind of theme?

Sounds like a cute swap! I like the idea (and the video...)

[ethertree]

Haha that's quite a funny idea. I'd be interested

Oh man, I had a huge obsession with the Badger video for a while. I think this swap could be a lot of fun !

Can we include the Harry Potter spoof of that too?

YES!!!

Badger badger mushroom..Snnnnnnaa aaake! I love it. I do this randomly and still giggle to myself about it.

I've read Harry Potter and all...BUT Badger, mushroom, snake is a classic.

My thoughts (if enough interest), groups of 3-4 people. Say for example we use a group of 4. Each person will be randomly assigned a character. ie: 2 for badgers (cuz well yes there are more of them , 1 for snake, 1 for mushroom.

Then each person makes their character for the rest of their group (and their self if they like ) so each group would have a group all the characters. In various media or whatnot depending on what your partners like to use!

I hope that makes sense...it does in my head. O.o

[tavernkitty]

that sounds like an awesome swap!

Wyked, my concern with splitting it up amongst a group like that would be how you would put them together if you have folks using wildly different media - if you've got a stuffed badger and a painting of a snake and some mushroom jewelry, it's kind of hard to associated them all with each other.  I would prefer to have the whole thing open to me rather than have to focus on one element.

[Wyked]

Ya know, I never thought of it that way...but it makes perfect sense. Either way, still sounds like a great fun crafty time!

I'd sign up for this in a heartbeat. My sister and I randomly sing this song all the time.
It really freaks our mother out, lol.
