Description:

I had fun recently doing a profile-based carving swap and noticed I haven't hosted one of these for a while. So, I thought we could get one in before the busy holiday season! They are fun and meant to get you thinking about new things to try, so I hope you’ll join in!

When you sign up for this swap, you must put at least three challenge image ideas below in the comments.

You are signing up to create 1 of the challenge images your partner will have posted below. Pick one of the suggestions, carve the image (minimum size is approximately 1" x 1"- no maximum), then send your partner their image stamped at least 5 times. You can stamp it onto sticker paper, cardstock, envelopes, decorative paper, a postcard, etc. Get as creative as you like. Mail the 5 stamped images to your partner by the deadline.

Please be sure to do work you'd like to receive! If your partner has images you aren't comfortable trying to create - it is up to you to message them and negotiate! I'm putting the send date out a month to give time for botched attempts and practice if needed. You can always mail before the send deadline! When you receive your swap don't be harsh, the person may be trying a new craft and not up to your skill level. They've met the requirements if the image is identifiable and it was stamped a minimum of 5 times neatly!

I hope you’ll join in and Happy Carving!

My challenge images are: magpie, sloth, beetle (insect), crow, pattern/tile for stamping continuous/repetitive patterns

If that's too challenging, my alternative challenges would be: something maritime, something you associate with "happiness", something you associate with "autumn" or "weather". This should give you a wide range to carve something you might like to do. If not, please contact me, there will be easier options, too.
