Do you have a penchant for handicrafts? If so, stay a while and look around, for this might be of interest to you. Everyone's heard about art trades. We here at Craft Exchange wish to take that concept and apply it to all things crafty. Whether it be jewellery, knitting or sculpture that is closest to your heart, feel free to join in.

Should you like to participate, just add your name on the list of members and see if there are any items that are currently up for exchange. If the inventory is empty, you can always nudge people or add something yourself. You may also see if there is something in members' personal craft wikis that you like and ask whether they would be willing to make another for a trade. However, all members are encouraged to add pictures of duplicable items in the CE Gallery - check there first.

Since the crafts will obviously have to be sent via snail mail, we recommend that after expressing your interest in a certain item you move the conversation into private messages - unless, of course, you don't mind displaying your address on a public wiki.

Have fun!

<img350*0:stuff/Peacock%20Necklace%20for%20Trade.jpg>

_{Sorry the quality is so poor. :( I made this for me, originally (if can call it making, it's a pendant on a necklace) but it sits funny. :/ It's super pretty though! I want it to go to a good owner. :3}

[9jlriexqk,ktpk]

_{First attempt at making a necklace. There's errors, but I think it is still pretty. I love the elephant. (Negligee not included, just thought it would make a nice background ;))}

_{I have lots more pictures, so check out Mirime's Beads to see what I'm offering :)}

_{Pretty sure I still have these in all the above colours. They were made for a play, but they're just taking up an entire drawer in my room so I could do with losing some of them.}

2011-06-10 [Mirime]: Yume: I'm open for ideas :) If I sent you extra beads, for example, you could make something for me and send that later.

2011-06-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: no need for extra beads and i'd like to send it at the same time but i could tell you what thing i'd like and i could make the thing you want and tell you when it's done and then we could trade if that's ok with you?

2011-06-11 [Mirime]: Well, what kind of things do you like to make? :) I like silvery and cool colors, usually.
