Make Me a Pair of Earrings with a Story

MAKE ME A PAIR OF EARRINGS WITH A STORY TO TELL! This is a sister swap to my silver earrings swap: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/97706

Do you like wearing and making earrings? Do you also like to think of a story behind the items you make? If the answer to both questions is yes - this is a swap for you!

You will send one pair of handmade earrings to your partner. The earrings must be made by you. You will also name the earrings and include in your package a note/letter/postcard telling the story behind the jewelry you made. For example: Describe what inspired you to make the earrings and/or how you got the idea for the name. You need not write a novel, but try to put some effort to it.

Use only safe metals (allergy tested, nickel free, lead safe, cadmium free) for allergy reasons. Add any beads you prefer(stone, glass, crystal, lampwork) or any other materials and media to your work (polymer clay, wood, ceramic, mixed media etc.) Working techniques are your own choice. Do not use low quality materials such as cracked beads. A reasonable amount of craftmanship and jewelry-making experience is needed for this swap. The emphasis is on your creativity and imagination, but pay attention to quality as well.

The earrings are senders choice but the receiver may give vague instructions on length (short or long) and colours or materials they especially like. Participants may and are encouraged to be inspired by their partner's profiles! The main target is to be inspired and have fun with it!

RULES: Lowest accepted rating is 4.8. PM me if you have any unexplained or recent 1´s. You must have completed at least five type 3 swaps to join this swap. I will have to ban you if your swapping history does not meet these requirements.

Send one pair of earrings made by you and a note to go with it, telling the story behind your work. Give the earrings a name and describe a bit what inspired you while making them.

The earrings are senders choice, receivers may give vague instructions / make wishes to INSPIRE their swap partners. WHAT IS OKAY: "I wish for small earrings and prefer silver coloured metals." WHAT IS NOT OKAY: "I don't want anything with glass beads or polymer clay and I only wear hoops." The idea is not to make a request but to help your partner to make you something you would like to wear. And it is perfectly okay not to give any instructions at all - be surprised!

Please rate according to Swap-bot rules and communicate with your partner or with me if you are uncertain about anything!

Please feel free to ask questions or clarifications! Happy swapping and crafting!
