Details of swap:
This swap is all about the elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire!
Alternative belief systems include the three elements of Earth, Wind and Sea, the four Winds (North, South, East, West) which are also associated with elements, or the 5 elements of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and Storm/Spirit and individuals wanting to receive items for those alternative systems are welcome to join in! We will be crafting for this swap the equivalent of a large, a medium and two smalls or if you want to consider in a point system that would be around 7 or 8 points.
guide and examples from the info list by Leah:
By Time
-Big/3 points = 3 or more hours
-Medium/2 points = 2 or more hours
-Little/1 point = 1 or less hours
By Size
-Big/3 points = A shawl, a shirt, a skirt, a set of jewelry with four to five items, a purse
-Medium/2 points = one single necklace or bracelet, a scarf
-Small/1 point = Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks, magnets
By Price
-Big/3 points = $30 or more
-Medium/2 points = $10-$30 dollars
-Small/1 point = $10 or less
when working things out by points, I usually look at time and price and ignore size unless I am sending international - just a hint
Just work that out with your partners, and don't send a whole lot of smalls unless your partner wants a smorgasboard of earrings or something, LOL! Let me know if you think you need to have someone know what you and your partner have agreed to.
The entry has a question about which style of elements you prefer - and please indicate that. Everyone is to craft at least one item for every element in their partners preferred elemental grouping!
