You know I love this theme...the ornaments I received last time were so incredible!

I am a HUGE fan of Frida Kahlo! Great idea for a swap, can\'t wait! :O)

harleychick27 03/ 1/2007 #

I finished my Frida earrings last night. I had two ideas kicking around in my head and so, of course, had to go with one of them. I'm really pleased with them. I had already started collecting the findings for my other idea, however, so we'll just have to do another Frida Kahlo earring swap in the future. Any excuse for a Frida swap!! :O)

vidriosa 03/ 2/2007 #

A Frida Swap it will be after this one is done - what do you suggest??

harleychick27 03/ 2/2007 #

Let's see...maybe a Frida inspired 'my hands to yours swap'? The problem with swaps that are 'wide open' like that is that some people receive a 'garbage' item that someone has whipped up in two minutes (I've rec'd a couple of things that my 7 year old could have made and done a better job) and then some people recive beautiful hand quilted bags and jewelry. So in a swap like that it really isn't about assigning a dollar value or anything but more about sending a quality item. Maybe a Frida inspired altered journal, sewn item, charm bracelet (I like this one, love making jewelry), ornament (I think you've done that? I missed that one!), bookmark??

I have an excellent source nearby af Frida-related objects to incorporate. This should be fun.

Much as I love this theme, I'm going to have to drop out of this one...we're moving to a new office buidling for my job, and I'm bogging down with getting things together for that...and signing on for more swaps than I can handle.

I'm sorry to miss it...but will watch for the next fun one. I'd love to do a charm bracelet...sometime, maybe a couple months from now.

Frida earrings on the way to Guapa_Morena, vidriosa, jamesdean tomorrow! :O)

Earrings on the way to Guapa_Morena, Jamesdean & Brooke !

Moominbrooke 03/30/2007 #

Earrings going out in the morning to mudtears, cyn and jessica jewel...Enjoy!

REceived a great fabulous pair of earrings yesterday from KIKI, wearing them now as I type. I'm an elementary art teacher and the kids have loved and asked all about who it is all day!! Thanks KIKI.

Moominbrooke 04/ 6/2007 #

Elegant earrings from Vidriosa- Thank you Brooke

harleychick27 04/ 7/2007 #

I have not received any earrings so I will wait a few days before rating my partners--Crafty Chica's should have been here by now I would think, I guess mail is VERY slow, Cyn's are coming from overseas, I think, so those will take some time and MegMeghan just clicked 'sent' a day or two ago. Swap-bot should consider waiting 14 days instead of 7 for ratings. How is everyone else doing? I know vidriosa and jamesdean rec'd mine and the other pair was sent overseas so might not be there yet. I LOVE it when people let me know they've rec'd what I've sent! :O)

vidriosa 04/ 7/2007 #

I've gotten earrings from Kiki, but not my other partners : (

harleychick27 04/ 7/2007 #

YAY!!!! I rec'd the most FABULOUS pair of earrings from Crafty Chica today! I ADORE them! Wow, you are super talented, Kathy!! I am so thrilled, one of the best things I've rec'd on swap-bot! Thank you so very much! (Cool Crafty Chica button, too!) I can't believe I was so lucky to receive them!!

I was going to upload a photo and they were already there and Misty had uploaded a photo of the ones I sent. I didn't realize there were any photos in the gallery! That's super, I think it's great to share the pictures (plus I forgot to take a photo of the ones I sent, as usual)!

harleychick27 04/ 7/2007 #

Well, well, MegMeghan deleted her profile, anyone supposed to be receiving earrings from her is probably out of luck! :O(

user6307 04/ 8/2007 #

If anyone doesnt have a pair sent let me know I'll gladly make you a package.

vidriosa 04/ 8/2007 #

Kiki, Im right there with you - MegMeghan was to send me some too - chin(*&^ - oh well, karmic retribution is a great thing. Or as my friend used to say - "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest her armpits !"

Jamesdean - if you'd like to be an angel for this swap please contact me ! Joanna - vidriosa

vidriosa 04/ 8/2007 #

from MegMeghan email... I sent out all of my earrings about 5 days ago. I have yet to recieve 1 pair.

harleychick27 04/ 9/2007 #

It seems from Meghan's email she did send the earrings?? I don't know why she'd close out her profile, though, unless something fishy was up. I guess we'll have to see if they show up. I really think Jamesdean is a special person to volunteer to be a swap angel. I've been in other swaps with her and she always volunteers to send to those who haven't rec'd something. That is awesome, Misty, you've fulfilled your obligations and rec'd your items but still offer to help others. You are definitely a super swapper!! :O)

redredred 04/10/2007 #

hi vidriosa, thanks for putting up such a great and wonderful swap. love making the earrings and receiving them.. thank you so much. hope there will more of kahlo inspire swap in future.

harleychick27 04/11/2007 #

Still no earrings from Meg. :O( Has anyone rec'd from her?

vidriosa 04/11/2007 #

None from Meg either - but Jamesdean is our angel - should have some soon from her ! Jo

user6307 04/11/2007 #

Anyone interested in another Frida swap? Any suggestions? Braclet Necklace? My students just love my earrings I've worn all three pairs and the kids always ask about who she is.

harleychick27 04/11/2007 #

Jo just listed a Frida note card swap so I'm in on that but would certainly be up for a bracelet or necklace swap. Love that theme! :O)

vidriosa 04/12/2007 #

Frida Necklace Swap just listed - please join in the fun ! Jo

harleychick27 04/13/2007 #

Just rec'd an email from CraftyChica saying that she never rec'd earrings from me. She was not one of my partners. She hasn't rec'd any Frida earrings! Jo, can you please tell her who her partners were? I've rec'd just the one pair, have emailed Cyn, my third partner, but she hasn't responded yet. :O)

vidriosa 04/16/2007 #

will do !

harleychick27 04/16/2007 #

I rec'd the COOLEST pair of Frida earrings from Cyn today!! They look like mirrors (hard to describe, I'll take a photo) and that's what I thought they were. I set them on the counter and, whoa, you could see Frida's face kind of floating behind the 'mirror'. How did you do that, Cyn?? I LOVE them!!! Thank you so much!! :O)

narcolepticgirl 04/23/2007 #

hello!! I´m sorry about not to answer your mails, but i´ve been working out of home, and without computer

Kiki! I´m so happy that you like my earrings!! I will tell you how did it!

Other earrings were sent the same day than Kiki´s, so it would be with their recipents, crafty chica and megmeghan (dissapeared). CraftyChica ,please note me when you receive it!

Please

vidriosa 04/23/2007 #
