Ongoing Offer What You Have Swap - Nov. 2010

[Avesthel]

I claim cotton scraps #2 and quilting scraps #3!  Thank you! 

I have a smoke free home with pet birds.

-------------------------------------------------
Claims (Outstanding) I am Allowed: 3
And counting this claim I am:
Claim #5 / 1 not sent yet / 1 transit / 3 received
-------------------------------------------------


Similar to the Shop the Swap, I've 'priced' my items so you can easily shop from different sections to make a full 1 point claim.  Just pick whatever you like until it adds up to 1 point. 


Bead Lot (#4) - 1 point

Silver plated bead caps, the little aqua beads are miracle beads, agate beads (top right), cubes and some caged beads.


Garnet Earrings - 1 point

Natural garnet earrings with all silverplated findings.  These are on posts and come with barrel earnuts.  They measure approx 1 inch long.


Inverse Aura Pendant - 1 point


This is an example only!
I can make you a pendant like this one.   I have various cooler shade colors (blues, lavender), silver and  I think there is enough for a pink or red one (but I need to check!).  Please do ask and I will look at my rings to see if there are other colors you might be interested in!
Will come on a black cord necklace like the second picture. 


Stone focal beads - 1 point

Large, stone focal beads. 








Mobius Flower earrings - 0.5 point

These are all silverplated findings done in a chainmail pattern that resembles a flower.     Leverback earwires.
(I have materials to make multiples of these earrings)


Fusible Interfacing - 0.5 point each

I have multiples of this if you want more than one. 

3 yards of 100% polyester, machine washable, non woven fusible interfacing.  Bags says "provides light to moderate support".



Xyron adhesive runner - 0.5 point

(product description) -- Measures: 3/8''x28' -- Applies permanent acid-free adhesive. Precise application, dot pattern, easy load refill, no gummy mess. Will adhere to most clean surfaces. Easy to use and non-toxic.   I never used it, so the cartridge should be 100% full.      


Xyron re-positionable glue tape - 0.5 point

1/2" wide and the one I found online says 50 feet.  Again, this is unused, so should be 100% full. 

[calluna]

I claim the interfacing and Xyron adhesive runner.

I have a dog in my household but do not smoke.

I offer:

Pick 2 --

- Vintage "Jill" embroidery - Not made by me, I picked it up in a yard sale.

- 2 California automobile license plates, one from the 1950s and one from the 1930s - rusted so much the corners have disintegrated (good for altered art, probably not good for making a license plate purse!)

- Embossing supplies - half bottle of Ranger Embossing Ink (spread a little of it onto your stamp pad), 2 containers of glittery embossing powder (about 75% full). The "white sparkle" one is perfect for snowy finishes, it looks more white when it's melted. The other is transparent with iridescent sparkle.

- mystery grab-bag of 4-5 unusual rubber stamps (very fine details, non-cutesy). I just don't have the photo-uploading in me today.  


Pick 3 --

- all these sheets of stickers - there's a woodsy alphabet, shiny gold special events phrases, victorian family-ish scrapbooking stickers, and a polka-dotted alphabet on CORK!

- any 1 of these 3 rubber stamps:

- 10 metal laminate samples - this is just a sampling of the samples - all kinds of different finishes, most are smooth/flat, silver/gray color, about 1.5 x 2.5 inches. Many are aluminum, and possibly could work with metal stamps? My Crop-a-Dile easily punches holes in them. On most of them the back side either needs a label peeled off or to be covered with something else. Most are made by a company called Chemetal (these came from a second-hand art supply store; I did not order them from the company).

- approx 50 sheets of a vellum-ish paper -- off-white, 8.5x11"

- faux fur strip - a little over 5 ft long, and about 6 inches wide, with solid fabric backing; perfect for a costume stole or you could make it into something else.

- 9 Girl Scout patches from c1975 - they are large, sew-on special-event patches from Central California, not the cute tiny merit badge patches.

- 1 rubber stamp from these (claim as photo stamp 1-3; the 4th one on the right is no longer available):

- Barbie pasties



Free with any claim:
"whore" cross-stitch bookmark, made for a swap but the intended recipient disappeared.  


OR

size 4 metal (aluminum?) crochet hook

thanks!!

[gavagai]

I claim 10 metal laminate samples, photo stamp 3 (the ballet one) and 50 sheets of vellum-ish paper please.

This is my 5th claim, 2 received, the other 2 not sent.

MY LIST

Pick 1!
When picking one of these, you may also pick one from the "pick 3" category!

 

Katarina. IKEA fabric, 100% home dec cotton, out of production. Not sure how much is in the first picture, but for one claim you get 59"x39". See measuring tape in second picture for scale.




Gunvor. IKEA fabric, 100% home dec cotton, out of production. (whole piece showing, sorry about the folded corners in the picture) 59"x47".


Pick 2!



         

Coiled fabric bowls. Pick one for 1/2 claim. The three in the thumbnails are the ones available.


   

Handbag, purple butterflies. Nothing wrong with this bag (made by me), but it has no closing mechanism (feel free to add one  ) and it is made only from the two cotton fabrics, so it is not very sturdy.


         

Seed catalogue (from a few years back). Swedish. About 60 pages full of pictures, almost all of them about 1 1/4" square. Also loads of pages of text.




     

Vintage makramé book in Swedish. I don't know if you can actually use it to learn how to make makramé (if you don't know Swedish), but there are nice pictures and lots of Swedish text for paper art or something. 104 pages.




           

Ceramic pendants, glazed. Now two per claim! Somewhat better pictures now (click the thumbnails), but still hard to get really good ones. Newly made by me, but some of them have kind of a vintage look. "Shabby chic."   Height varies from just under an inch to almost two inches. MOVED TO THE "PICK 2" CATEGORY




Traditional Swedish glass troll, about 2" tall, heavy and could be used as a paper weight. It has an inscription on the back, apparently some kind of SAAB commercial message, but that is only visible from the back (image 3). Really difficult to get a good picture of this one.


 

Totoro fairytale ring - This is a button ring made with buttons in blue and transparent/white. On top is a polymer clay white totoro, surrounded by three green metallic leaves. Totoro can be facing you or your fingertips when the ring is worn. Ring base is adjustable to suit all sizes.


Next, the skull ring:

   

Distinct red, grey and black buttons, black button acting as a somewhat mediaeval looking collar for the skull firmly placed on top of the buttons, looking around. Ring is adjustable to fit all sizes.


the Soot sprite ring

 

...with a cute little soot sprite on a white button with transparent border, covered with shiny white beads. Ring is adjustable to fit all sizes.


I love U ring

   

The last image is there just to show that that part sticking out below the heart button is visible if you look at the ring from a really weird angle. It has no real practical significance, but I thought you should know.   Ring is adjustable to fit all sizes.


Spring colored ring with loads of purple beads

 

Loads of purple beads underneath a yellow heart. Spring green rounded button and a white background. Feels like summer! Ring is adjustable to fit all sizes. (Sorry about the blurry pictures.)


Pick 3!
(or pick two from here and one from the pick 2 category)



Quilting cotton scraps A, in total about 26" x 21"




Quilting cotton scraps, blueish/teal, in total about 31" x 21"


 

Mountain Mist history leaflet, "Blue Book of Quilts", about 55 pages.




Vintage cotton fabric, about 45" x 17". Whole piece showing.




 

Quilting pattern. "Ring around the posie".


 

Quilting pattern. "Patriots pride".




Wirework experiments. Silver plated wire. Height about 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch. Maybe someone can use them for something? All with loops. All for 1/3 claim!


 

Cross stitch kits to make angels (Christmas decorations) with ribbons and all sorts of stuff. Never opened. 1/3 claim each.

[Acadian Driftwood]

I'm claiming gavagai for ceramic pendant 3, quilting cotton scraps bluish/teal, and the wirework experiments. I can't resist a sale!

----------------------------------------------
Claims (Outstanding) I am Allowed: 2
And counting this claim I am:
Claim #4 / 1 not sent yet / 1 in transit / 2 received
----------------------------------------------

I live in Vermont, USA in a smoke-free house with many cats.

Pick 1:



Vintage yarn collection, 5 skeins of yarn from my grandmother's stash. Red Tivolaine, 70% brushed Texas mohair, 15% virgin wool, 15% nylon; Black “Frostlon Petite” Spinnerin, 67% mohair, 33% orlon acrylic; Cream “Kitten” Reynolds, 84% acrylic, 16% wool; Tan with no tag but looks and feels the same as the Kitten; White “Frostlon Petite” Spinnerin, 67% mohair, 33% orlon acrylic. I don't know how much there is in each skein, but they all look pretty full.



Jar of whimsies, 5 inches tall and packed with little bits, bobs, and goodies. Outside of the USA will be sent in a baggie so as to avoid the risk of breaking glass.



The Flirty Work Skirt. This was an experiment for me, but I'm never going to wear it. Made from size 8 LA Blues shorts (feel more like size 7 to me).

Pick 2:



Hot peppers fabric, 1 yard, cotton from Fabric Traditions.

Gold cranes tea wallet, or custom tea wallet. The cranes one has a minor imperfection – the pockets are misaligned ¼ inch, but it still works fine and doesn't look that bad, I just can't sell it. I can only work from my stash so no guarantees I will have exactly what you want. You may claim two wallets at once if you'd like that to be your whole claim.



Posies pillow case

10 commandments fabric panels, written in fancy script with washable fabric markers. Two panels with 5 commandments each, measuring about 10x14 inches.
