@stirlingarts I especially love the hummingbird one! Did you use air dry clay to make it? :purple_heart:

@Harlan that is the cutest robot I’ve ever seen. How big is it?

Thanks. I used polymer clay for the hummingbird.

I measured the robot and it is about 4.25” tall, including the antenna.

He’s bigger than I intended when I started making him. He just sort of decided for himself what was right. :woman_shrugging:

Got a little guy from @Manders today!

First cute packaging

Stickers!

And then the little guy <3

And it all together

As soon as I motivate myself I’m going to go scrounge up a spot on my vest for him and add the stickers to my sticker book : )

@stirlingarts - I love the brooches! The flower gives me SitC vibes and I love the hummingbird. It’s so pretty, and the iridescent overlay is beautiful.

@Harlan - That robot is incredible! He would be my new buddy, and I would wear him everywhere.

@Manders - the frog is great! The beadwork looks so pretty! It looks like you have a great new skill in your arsenal.

@Jae3ird I’m so glad you like the brooch and stickers. :grin: He was a fun project to do. I did my best to make him look more like a toad. The bigger beads are meant to be warts lol

@Harlan thank you. :purple_heart:

@gozer :grin: thank you I’m glad he turned out good. This was a pretty relaxing project overall, I can see myself doing more of this. Maybe Pokemon :grin::grin:

Wow, the gallery is so amazing! I received from @Jae3ird on Monday, and I’m excited to add his creation here, so i’ll put comments in a separate post.
This blew my mind when I opened it. Elliots’s mom @Rlynn was in my city and was so kind to meet with me at a local bookstore to hand deliver it. She mentioned that if exposed to uv light, it will glow in the dark, and it really does!


After taking the pictures outside, I glanced down and realized it was glowing so bright and beautiful in my relatively dim living room:

My partner and I have been feeding the crows (and squirrels and now pigeons) in our yard and so it’s not only beautiful but also perfect as a reminder of our favorite feathered friends. Thanks so much @Jae3ird i love it!
I’m off to find the perfect place to pin this…

@Jae3ird Oooh! So cool! I love the glow-in-the-dark touch. It looks so mysterious.

I recieved my lovelies from both partners.

From @stirlingarts I recieved two!

Both are fab! I really really love the cinnabar moth one.

And from @Harlan this beautiful felted raven.

The boys didn’t tell me they had picked up the package for me from @Rlynn, so I didn’t find the package until today while I was waiting for Jackson’s doctor appointment to conclude!!

What a great swap this has been!!

Look at how cute this is!! :smiley:

Thank you @stirlingarts & @Rlynn for being my swap partners!! When I’m not wearing one of these brooches, I’m going to pin them on my work table bulletin board so that every day they can bring me a smile!!

@Harlan oh it arrived early! They originally estimated a Saturday delivery.

This has been a great swap. @Manders the toad pin you made @Jae3ird is super cute and very much his style. The stickers are also spot on.

@stirlingarts the hummingbird brooch is lovely. It has an art nouveau feel to it.

@Harlan that robot is super cute!

@Jae3ird I have already told you how fab your brooches are. But I will repeat that you did a great job and I love that they glow in the dark.
