In this swap, we will make an artwork that contains a Bird on it someplace, for one partner. I originally thought of having the theme be Crows, but then decided to increase the scope of theme so you can depict any bird of your choosing. Have fun.

Artwork must be a minimum of 4 inches. Jewelry has no size restrictions. Please sign and date your work, if possible. As always, all art mediums are welcome.

If I were to make a felt pin would that qualify as jewelry?

@dynasourX Not if you are referring to craft felt; usually a felt pin would qualify as a craft and not as Art Jewelry. Art Jewelry is, one of a kind, artistic jewelry pieces, made by artists using quality materials who are creating and expressing their visions in jewelry like a painter would use his paints. Often these pieces are intended to become heirloom pieces as they are unique, one of a kind treasures. While cutting felt into shapes is not considered an art form, taking wool and felting it, beading it, adding it to metal or other materials, and turning that into a form of jewelry, would be considered an artform. I'm not sure which you are referring to, or which you do, but hope that helps. There are many great sites and resources for art jewelry, like Art Jewelry Magazine Art Jewelry Forum and Blog TabooStudio FacereJewelry and many other galleries.

Okay, thank you :) I was indeed referring to store bought craft felt. I'll have to start brainstorming then :D
