This is my first time hosting a swap, hope it goes well

This is an INTERNATIONAL swap

I was going through an old issue of Craft: magazine and one of the projects was for making plush monsters. I think it'll be fun to see how wacky or weird you can get with this.

You will make one stuffed monster *any size, shape or color *be creative with your materials but it still has to be soft and cuddly

There'll be a long deadline would be fun to get a monster just in time for Halloween.

Newbies welcome with full profile. No no-sends. I wont set a rating limit but I will try to weed out flakers.

Seems simple enough right? Just let your imagination go free.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Gosh, I wish I was crafty this way, with sewing and what not, I LOVE monsters and would love to participate, unfortunately its just not my craft :(

Kasasha 07/ 3/2008 #

I think you should give it try. Or perhpas your partner wouldnt mind if you sent them a monster using whatever crafts youre good at.

agonysdecay - if you have me as a send to partner, you could make me one however you want! I know you are very creative and always love what you send to me in swaps :)

I love this idea!! I have seen monster stuffies on Etsy and have always wanted to make one. Thank you so much for hosting this fun swap!

I am a knitter, so I want to knit my monster OK?

Dummanios 07/ 8/2008 #

I already do this, so I'm in! For examples of my work you can check out my Flickr (flickr.com/dummaniosa).

I hope knitting is ok cause I was so excited about this one I think I picked up my needles 2 minutes after I signed up!

Kasasha 07/17/2008 #

I think a knitted monster would be great. I cant knit so I'm gonna sew mine.

I'm so excited about this swap!!!! And thanks for allowing newbies... I have to say it's pretty off-putting when you aren't allowed to participate in something you're interested in.

THANKS!!!

Kasasha 07/22/2008 #

No problem. Everyone's got to start somewhere right?

piggybaby 10/30/2008 #

Finally finished my lil' monster and will post pics on Flickr tomorrow. I'm so bummed though. I'm pretty sure my partner's going to flake on me b/c she has received two 1 ratings in the past month and hasn't logged in for over 2 weeks. :( If anyone wants to crank out an extra monster for me, I'll be happy happy happy to receive one! :)
