Artist Trading Pin swap, redux

Now that the deadline for the last pin/brooch swap has passed, it's time to start a new one! I can't get enough of these...and I really love the idea of artist trading pins.

so, if you are as pin happy as I am, here's your chance to keep it going.

The rules are, make one pin or brooch for each of three partners, based on their profile. It's that simple. It can be paper, cloth, wire, clay, felt, bead, whatever your preferred medium, as long as it can be worn comfortably on the body.

NOTE: Given that we are started to amass a stock of pins from these swaps, I would like to open this swap up and make it possible for us to send along a handmade pin that someone else has made but that may not suit us so well. I always understood the trading process to be just that, and I like the idea of our creations moving about until they settle on the right home.
If you are going to send along someone else's work, please do two things:
1. DO NOT alter it in any way, out of respect for the original artist, and
2. CREDIT the original artist (if you can remember who they were! you could jog your memory by looking through your previous swaps and finding those who sent to you). I for one think I am going to start "signing" my pins on the back somehow so that my work can be traced. (not that they are "great" works of art, but they do have a certain style...)

Hopefully the "send-along" option won't be offensive to anyone. Anyhow, it seems like these pin swaps are a happening thing, and I am sure there will be swaps for those who can't abide the idea.

As for who can join, newbies with complete profiles will be allowed in, but please no chronic no-senders. I am not terribly concerned about rating numbers, within reason. Contact me if you have questions. After sign-ups close, I will do the necessary weeding out of questionable swappers. Plus, I will angel this swap in case of flakers.

Any questions? Let's go!
