    hi all!

    i want to start a craft exchange for members of the forum. this thread is for wheelin' and dealin'! if you have a craft you'd like to exchange with someone, post it here and get your exchange on!

    for starters:

    i can crochet hats
    and
    make hemp/crochetted necklaces
    and
    have some extra dread beads i'm not using

    anyone want to barter with me?

    i make hats, adoptabeads, pendants... willing to try making anything once so if you've got ideas and just no crafting ability I'd be glad to help try and bring your idea into existence. :)

    caelynn, i just looked through your gallery and just wanted to say those are by far the prettiest dreads i've ever seen. your hats are amazing, too. i love how they have ponytail holes! my hats are considerably less amazing, haaaa. want to make a trade? pm me and we can chat about it!

    i'm not much good at hats etc, but would very much like one. i do take quite a good photo though, if that would interest anyone? i do botanical close ups, trees ancient monuments (not got many yet though) selective colour stuff and atmospheric type stuff and would go out and find summat special if you let me know what you want.
    a few of examples;

    I do a little sewing, I make canvas grocery bags, flannel menstrual pads, harem pants, cholis, skirts, etc.

    I also crochet a bit, and have made my first hat, still working out a pattern I like, though.

    I would love to trade for other stuff, let me know if you are interested.

    they're just re-usable pads, you soak them in a rubbermaid tub with lavender water until you have enough to wash, and then just wash them :) you usually make them on dark fabrics so that if they stain it doesn't matter.

    Exactly. I've found that the synthetic ones irritate me, not to mention the waste they add to landfills. I do not use organic materials to make them, but everything I use is recycled and washed.

    Willy, I used to have a chinese yo-yo when I was a kid, and I see people doing the devuil sticks at fairs and stuff. I'd be willing to trade something if I make anything that you like? Canvas bag or a pair of drawstring pants or something?
