A few years ago, it snowed early and hard, and it was wet, heavy snow. The leaves had just changed and were still on the trees. The color of the pear trees against the blinding white of the snow makes for a surreal winterscape. The vivid reds and greens would make this especially suited to a Christmas display. This photograph was printed last year for a trade show. It is in brand-new condition, but it is signed "amanda j 2009." (See Picture#2.) Print is 11"x14", printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Lustre paper, and mounted on foam board (foam core). This process gives the photograph a protective backing that makes it possible to frame without using glass.

A set of two spunky green fashion cards. They are one-of-a-kind and cut by hand using cardstock, paper, beads, sequins, and ribbon. Both cards are blank inside, and two envelopes are included. I think they would look lovely if they were framed to use as decorative art. Size: 5 1/2" tall, 4 1/4" wide.

82. I swap: Russet Horse and Floral Belt

2010-10-07T20:19:00.006+02:00

by Labyrinthleather

About

This solid leather belt is constructed from a single piece of 8 to 9 oz full-grain Spanish cowhide, and has been embossed with a horse and floral pattern, dyed a rich russet, antiqued and sealed. It's unisex and absolutely awesome!
This is the standard width (1.5") that will fit the vast majority of blue jean or dress pant loops. The buckle shown is included with the belt and is attached with snaps not rivets, which makes swapping in a custom buckle easy.

Typically the best method to gauge your belt size, at least in North America, is to take your pant size and go up by two inches - so if you wear a 34" pant you'll want a 36" belt.

I can make a anything between a size 32" and a size 44" belt!

This paper mache goblin mask base was created using recycled paper mache and floral wire (in the “beak"). The base was then covered in a textured felt and painted in mauve, blue, and green acrylic. The beak is painted orange and coated in a sparkling varnish. Natural black spiky feathers, fuschia-glittered foam embellishments, a sprinkling of tiny rhinestones, and fluffy feathers dyed in assorted greens and blues complete this whimsical, one-of-a-kind mask. The mask is intended to be worn (it ties on with thin, black satin ribbon), and the interior has been lined with some soft, upcycled olive-green jersey for comfort. However, it would also make a fun and funky display for the fantastically-minded! (Mask base measures approximately 8" across x 5" high; including feathers, it's bigger, though!)

by lenasekine

About

This piece was created right before my first trip with my then boyfriend, now husband. It was inspired by the spirit of travel and the excitement of being able to share the experience of exploration with your true love!

African brass pendant from Kenya, approximately 1/2" diameter, hangs from hand-strung African brass rounds and coral sticks. Gunmetal lobster clasp with coral nugget charm finishes this piece. Approx. 16" in length.

*Please let me know if you would like the length adjusted.

Coral has been called the 'garden of the sea'. It was once believed to be a plant, but is now known to actually contain living animals called polyps. Coral is the result of accumulated skeletal masses from these polyps. It was believed to prevent ill fortune and offer protection from skin disease when worn as a necklace.

63. I swap: Electrik Circuit Necklace

by Thelacystar

About

This necklace was handcrafted out of 100% sterling silver components, though 100% recycled. There is one new glass tube bead, and one new hand carved (in a sacred lotus shape) quartz crystal bead.

It is 3cm high and 2.75cm across. The chain is 45cm long.

I made this necklace because I was inspired by technology and circuitry...I watched the original TRON movie. It was really good!
I enjoyed making this necklace because the materials have very different texture; the chain is dangly, the wire is very hard and sleek, the bead is round and lumpy, and the middle piece of sterling it just slightly carved. It came out just how I saw it in my head.

by adotelise

About

This bracelet spells out the word "swap" in ASCII binary code, but I can make a custom bracelet to spell out any four letter word of your choice (such as: geek, luck, hope, a name, a date, etc). I do this by using the different color beads to represent ones and zeros. In this bracelet the "ones" are represented by real stabilized turquoise beads and the "zeros" are represented by mahogany obsidian beads. The beads are loomed onto dark brown goat leather cord and the bracelet is finished with a 5/8 inch mother of pearl oyster shell button. The button closure is adjustable, depending on where the knots are placed in the leather.

I knew though, without a ring in my store that was adjustable i would lose out on sales. So here is my take on Adjustable and Made to Order.

A flower brooch that tells a story..or a poem. I came across this lovely poem by Florence Earle Coates (in fact, I love pretty much all her poems).. and just had to use it on my flower brooches. :)

A dusty, subdued pink 3.5" flower brooch containing parts of the poem "I Love, and the World is Mine":

For me the jasmine buds unfold
And silver daisies star the lea,
The crocus hoards the sunset gold,
And the wild rose breathes for me.
I feel the sap through the bough returning,
I share the skylark’s transport fine,
I know the fountain’s wayward yearning,
I love, and the world is mine!

I love, and thoughts that sometime grieved,
Still well remembered, grieve not me;
From all that darkened and deceived
Upsoars my spirit free.
For soft the hours repeat one story,
Sings the sea one strain divine;
My clouds arise all flushed with glory,—
I love, and the world is mine!

I screen printed this poem onto a piece of linen/cotton blend fabric and then made into a flower. The brooch will be attached to a note card with the poem printed on it. A little casual elegance that's good for many occasions!

The bracelet is 6.5 inches (17 cm) long, with an extension chain making it up to 8.5 inches (21 cm). The brass extension chain ends with three small brass droplets that add a comforting weight to the bracelet.

The delicate floral print is perfect for spring or summer, and the fact that the bracelet is made of fabric makes it light and comfortable.

It is a necklace and earring set made of beautiful agate and fluorite. For the necklace, I used Beadalon "7 strand" nylon coated beading wire, sterling silver plated crimp beads and sterling silver (925) rings and clasps as closing. The earrings are the same stones and are 100% sterling silver.

The earrings are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, not including the hooks and the necklace is 26.5 inches (67 cm)long. One has a loop endpin, the other a ball, I thought it would give it just a little extra character. If you would prefer them both the same, I can do that for you:)

I really love this necklace because if the combination of colours! The yellows, greys, greens and whites of the rough-cut agate go so nicely with the yellows, greens and purples of the fluorite diamonds. I bought the beads on separate occasions and was delighted to find them go together so well! A craftpersons best moments are these!

About

This set of three long necklaces is made from lots of handmade paper beads which are occasionally punctuated by other lightweight beads for
texture. Each of the necklaces is long enough that it doesn't need a clasp to go over the head. With three different pieces, you can mix and match to achieve any number of looks with some creativity. I've been making these beads since elementary school, and they are by far the best part of the item. Each one is its own unique piece of art!
I've found that this sort of colorful, casual jewelry goes a long way to spruce up an otherwise bland outfit.

The whole set is, I'm only guessing, 100 beads?

I was digging through the basement for extra craft supplies and found an unused, 1 pound pack of polymer clay. I started to experiment, found some craft wire, and spun some clay around on it and voila, I came up with these nifty little textured beads.

Each bead is hand-painted and spun on wire; none of them are the same. I'm throwing in a few colourful beads from my own supply in the mix, just because. The designs on the beads are unintentional, but at the same time, intricate and beautiful.

I strive to be green and eco friendly, I don't believe in decorations that can be tossed away! I can make a custom banner with whatever color scheme you might want!

About

I would like to offer a hand-embellished, tufted bead to trade. I consider the whole item as a single bead, yarn, little beads,etc but it is large enough that it could be considered as a pendant also. I call them "beaded beads" because I start with a bead then modify it by expanding what is there to create another bead. I made this bead using a beautiful, 25mm painted powder glass bead handmade in Ghana, Africa, threading it with three strands of brass wire. I strung a selection of small, multi-colored glass beads on the wires and cinched them tight with a cobalt blue glass pony bead on each side then completed the embellishment with more bright seed beads and two small face beads, one on each side, hand-wrapping the wire ends to make loops on both ends. I added (8) tufts of stressed, knotted yarn to each side, including small glass "donuts" on each tuft, knotting them in place.

This is an all-purpose cleaner. I don't suggest drinking it or getting it in your eyes. It works particularly well as a counter cleaner or with pet stains, and as far as scent, it's not so bad at all! It's a truly interesting, herbal, citrus-mint sort of fragrance.

This took about 2 months to make, as it's made with heavily aged orange peels, rinsed with baking soda water, and finally, combined with water, vinegar, and crushed clove juice and powder. You can experiment with portions used in comparison with water -- this particular size could be left alone or else added to about a quart of water or your average spray bottle. The container is a cleaned and recycled plastic bottle, of which was originally the home to shampoo I believe.

Studs from my new collection “kimono”, I made them for AKIKO japan store. It's made of original kimono Stoff and 925 Silver. Circumference of the Kimono-pearl: 0,35" / 0,9cm.

These vintage bottle caps have been recycled, domed and soldered together to create this cool necklace. There are tons of options available so let me know which "flavor" you are looking for.....all of the accent components are sterling silver.

About

This felted necklace has a large flower center motif in a deep yellow on blue that has been embroidered in maroon embroidery yarn. 2 appliqued feathers in the same color combination dangle from the flower. All three pieces are stitched to a blue suede band and the clasp is made of a blue felt ball and a loop fastened by a small blue embroidered disk.

The entire necklace is 18”(46 cm) long. There is no metal involved in our felt jewelry so it is very light weight, soft, and comfy to wear.

This is a grey handbag with a green and white flower lining. The grey canvas was a leftover piece of my earlier projects, the flowery fabric used to be a vintage curtain. There is a flap with a flower applique. Inside there's a button for closure, one pocket for small items (cell phone, make up etc.) and a key-chain on a loop. The strap is made of the flower fabric and it's long enough to wear the bag on your shoulder.

I'm a big fan of recycling and reusing, therefore I try to make useful items even from the tiniest scraps. This eco-bag is a good example of that - and it's definitely one of a kind!

Measurements (approximately):
30cm X 19cm X 4cm, length of strap 56cm
(11,8" X 7,5" X 1,6", length of strap 22")

The Necklace/Bracelet is made entirely of finest white Paper Yarn. The material's sturdniess allows to produce uniquely structured pieces that are soft and flexible but nevertheless keep their form. And yes, it can get wet (but please don't take a shower with it...!)

and Oblivion - Photography inspired by these beautiful words from 'Confession' by Charles Baudelaire:
"Que bâtir sur les coeurs est une chose sotte;
Que tout craque, amour et beauté,
Jusqu'à ce que l'Oubli les jette dans sa hotte
Pour les rendre à l'Eternité!"

{Translation:
That to build on hearts is a foolish thing,
That all things break, love, and beauty,
Till Oblivion tosses them into his dosser
To give them back to Eternity!}

Swap Between uloni and tarabursey.

I thought, "it is such a great idea to make buttons with real onions", so I asked tarabursey if she would like to swap with me. I became a true fan of her concept art work with food.

I am very fascinated of the work of gofenshefer, she use natural Job's tears seeds as beads for her jewelry and makes her photos in the forest. Packaging is also very natural: the necklace arrived in a a bowl of a fruit. I am very happy to own such an unique piece of art ))

Trough the swap, we found that we lived in the same district in Riga 16 years ago!
In my childhood I was often in this forest where she makes the photos of her gorgeous items )

Swap between Evarevolver and Arina Antonova.

It's funny how small the World is! We've met here on We Swap, and on the next day we accidently met each other again at one of Hamburg's Flea Markets! We've started talking, and it turns out - we have some friends in common.
I (Arina) know Lena. Lena has told me about Vasja. Vasja reads Andrey's Livejournal. Andrey writes about Vanja, who knows Galja (Evarevolver)...and now I know Galja too! So as you can see - swapping handmade is actually about making friends!

One day I've hearted Alessandra's photo of a stalactite slice and she suggested to swap. I've crocheted her two chained merino wool neck-warmers and she made me this gorgeous amethyst stalactite slice on gold chain. It's my favorite summer accessory!
