Shop the Swap Winter Market-Discussion Thread!

[Eiseldora]

Made some steampunk rings this morning.  Hopefully I'll have a chance to photograph them and get them up.  I'll be taking most of my stuff to the fair on Saturday so will be closing shop on Friday afternoon.

I'm also planning to make some blinking eye rings for Lana's class for Halloween. It's a simple doll eye mechanism mounted on an adjustable ring base.  I can post a pic once I make them if there is any interest.

the eye rings sound hilariously fun 
would love to see a pic (even though I'm an innocent bystander at the moment, LOL

Does anyone need knitted items this round?  I know for awhile there we had a bunch of knitters
and I think we flooded the market   

I think there might be a flood of knitting items. I have many in my shop and I am not certain if there is any interest.

I do have a postal scale but I'm guessing it has to be an "official" PO scale to qualify?

I don't think so as long as it is sensitive enough to get the postage correct. I use a food scale and add a bit to account for the weight of the label and tape.  I go thru Paypal: Google 'paypal hack postage'  The great thing is that the DC# is free!

Custom knit/crocheted items are always a big hit.  I'd be all over Craftaddiction's cupcake hats, but I just made some for Lana and my niece.

Hehe, will definitely post a pic of the eye rings then.

Thanks I'll try that!

Maybe someone can find something better?

or someone could design a simple one?   any takers? 
i like this idea! 

[alteredmommy]

I did look for a picture when we opened but got distracted....

[loves2experiment]

or we could randomly select some of the winter items offered in previous rounds of the sts, do a quick collage and slap on a "sts winter market" tag on it? 

thoughts?

I will volunteer to put together a pic for the swap.   

[alteredmommy]
