That shawl is beautiful! I love the box too.

Love it! What lucky swappers we've all been; one more package left to see, did you happen to take photos of it before you mailed Anofeles?

I have some bad last-minute photos in my cell phone and a better picture of my big item in dad's camera (at least I hope it's still there, I'm not home now). A few days ago I found out mom didn't send the package via air mail, which is probably the reason why it's taking so long It was he first time mom was sending something for me and I didn't think about it at all I already told Nat I'm sorry. Now I just hope the parcel won't get lost. If it won't arrive in Australia in a week or two I'll start crafting another package.

Ooohh, yeah that would do it  It's no sweat I've had a letter take a month from England to here because the sender sent it regular and that was just a letter between two very large mail hub cities, lol. 

As for the photos they're handy to have in case you do end up having to remake, I always try to take a snap or two of everything & I've got a small album going of swaps I've been in, maybe I'll end up doing an actual scrap book some day! I just love how much fun this stuff is

Oh, I so wish I could have been in this swap... I'm reading Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic studies at Uni and I'm a real fan of the Celts. All the stuff in here is amazing!

Hi everyone,

NatACT has been having camera troubles (I sympathise - my camera was out of action for a couple of months and it drove me mad), so I'm posting pics from the angel package I sent.

Nat's chosen culture was Egypt, so I made her an Isis hoopla:


A fimo cartouche necklace (which I'm hoping spells NAT - I used a heiroglyphs-alphabet translation I found online):


And a senet board:

That is an awesome package knitpurl! Thank you for posting the photos, now I can consider the swap completely finished. I love the way you made the senet board look ancient and that hoopla is something I'd hang on a wall myself it's just lovely, the cartouche idea I'm going to borrow for a holiday gift    Thank you again for being an angel!!
