Description:

By popular request, I am hosting the second international version of my original swap :-)

Do you like making, receiving, and wearing unique earrings as much as I do? If yes, this is the swap for you!

In this swap, you will be sending THREE partners TWO sets of handcrafted earrings (made by you). Earrings will be sender's choice, but please peruse your partner's profile for inspiration.

Shipping costs for this swap will be reasonable, as earrings do not weigh much. Earrings MUST be sent in a padded envelope or box to prevent damage.

As this is a "sender's choice" swap, I must discourage anyone with metal allergies from participating.

Newbies are welcome in this swap, provided they have a fully populated profile.

Craft happy, Swap-Bot sisters :-)

I love this swap idea and I have signed up, but just a quick thought: this requires a total of 6 pairs of handmade earrings, which is a lot. I wonder if that high number is discouraging people from signing up, and I worry that it will also keep people from doing their best quality work for the swap. Maybe just one pair of earrings per partner? Or only two partners?

Great question :-) This is actually "round five", as I have hosted three USA only versions and one prior international "Earring Extravaganza" swap. The requirements have been the same for all rounds, and there have been 12+ (I think) participants each time. The earrings I have recieved have been lovely, so I am definately not concerned about participants sending creative and high quality items <3

I'm with Tally, as far as being discouraged by the amount of earrings required for each person to make. I'll probably join, but with trepidation, forseeing a long night Sept. 5th to get them all finished.

I'm choosing to leave this current swap "as is", but I do respect and appreciate your comments :-) If swappers are hesitant to join based on the number of partners or sets of earrings required, please pm me with your suggestions for future versions of this swap. I'll be happy to modify my swap, based on popular consensus. Swap happy, my friends <3

Great swap idea! Just wanted to let all potential partners know that I DO NOT have peirced ears, so any earrings sent to me will need to be CLIP-ON. Thanks!
