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 ;))}

[Mirime]

_{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.}

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: My picture is really crappy, and it's one of my first jewelry pieces. >.> Be gentle. DX

2011-05-23 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Its nice actually. And I like the design of [Linderel] It's not too fancy but its still pretty. I like chocolate colors for staple wrist wear. I made my first twisty leather surfer bracelet a couple days ago and I am wearing it! :D It looks like what I would buy :P

2011-05-23 [Flisky]: *wants one of those like Akay makes* I would...um...make you a hat! ^_^

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: Me? :O :O REAAAALLY? *loves hats* What kind of hats? :O :O

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: Ps- The choker is kind of long (or I have a tiny neck, either or), so I'll give you the measurements and if it's too big I can run out and buy another choker "base" and make a different one. :D

2011-05-23 [Flisky]: I just recently made an owl hat for [Chimes]. It's felt and has ear flaps and everything. I could make you a 'theme' hat, like Cthulu, or a bunny hat, or something. (Right now I have a bit of black felt left, enough to make another hat, anyways.)

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: OMFG SO CUTE. X3 That sounds adorable! :D I like the sound of dis. (We could continue this convo in PMs as to not flood this page with comments. XP)

2011-05-23 [Linderel]: I'd had those beads ready for ages. I just hadn't got around to making the bracelet for some reason. :O

Also, yay for trades happening!

2011-05-23 [Flisky]: Okays. ^_^

And yes, trades are happening.

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: Yesssssss. Indeeeeeeed... *chin stroke* :P

2011-05-24 [Mirime]: *totally needs a hat with kitty ears*

2011-05-25 [Flisky]: I'm nearly finished with Akay's. One more seam then it's done. I have enough cloth left to make one, maybe two if I'm careful, more hats. ^_^

2011-05-25 [Akayume]: YAYYY. :D :D I demand pictures! :P

2011-05-25 [hanhepi]: i just added "clothespin bags" to my skills. i forgot about those. lol

2011-05-26 [Alexi Ice]: May I make a suggestion? I think it would be cool to see the craft exchange um...like...what's the word? In progress? That would be really neat ^^ To see whose getting what/trading for what/exc.?

2011-05-26 [Akayume]: There's a page for finished trades. :O

2011-05-26 [Akayume]: I took down the other necklace since it will go to Flisky. :D

2011-05-26 [Linderel]: That's adorable :O

2011-05-26 [Mortified Penguin]: YOU'RE adorable.

...wait...

2011-05-26 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Ooooh I LOVE the peacock!

Would anyone be interested in my elephant one perhaps?

2011-05-26 [Linderel]: You should put it up here. :)
