Also…a question. I didn’t see anyone mentioning specific styles of crafting they like or don’t like or wouldn’t want to receive… I’m planning on doing a lot of mine out of fabric. Is that okay?

Yes! More than okay. It is senders choice the medium you use when you claim, unless the person specifically requests something.

Oh yes, that’s what I usually do and I’ve received many wonderful fabric ornaments.

Yes, fabric ones are always appreciated!
@Cindy, I’m so inspired by your list, but I have already claimed my max number. Bummer! I hope to catch everyone eventually. (As long as my time & energy and hands hold out!)

You can message your partner with questions. I’ve asked mine about colors, and changed my plans accordingly.

Working on one idea tonight. I tried 3D, but flat is turning out much better.

Big strides today, both are emphatically 3D.
I might have to sneak some orange in somewhere…

Partway through both claims. Hoping they turn out well.

I’m 80% complete on one ornament, 100% on another, and I’ve gutted an existing ornament as a shell for my third

I started @Lynx’s, but am waiting on a supply I ordered before I’ll be able to finish it.
I made one for @steiconi… and then took it apart because it didn’t meet my standards. Starting over on that one!
For @Tapestry, I am juggling a couple of different options. The one I really want to do is probably too complicated!

I feel that way about ornament #3 but can’t seem to let my original idea go.
I’m trying to figure out how to paint a bunch of tiny Styrofoam pellets and pretty sure it’s a comedy routine in the making…spray paint seems like the logical solution…but also a really bad idea .

At least some spray paint can melt styrofoam, in case things haven’t changed. Oh the horror of a partially melted hat display! Maybe the shaker method? Like shake n bake chicken.
If you’re able to paint without melting them, could you put them on toothpicks or skewers?

They are TINY and I need a lot of them, but definitely mentally bookmarking that idea for future use!

I had no idea this would be so fun! I finished the two* so I claimed a third.
- I have to photograph and pack them, hopefully get them in the mail tomorrow. Then I can claim two more, maybe…

I have thoughts and plans but came down with a summer cold that’s keeping me mostly in bed sleeping.
