Offering: Big 4 tissue paper patterns, mostly Vogue and McCalls. All unused/not unfolded or cut, mostly in sizes up to a 44” bust/37” waist/46” hip. I have accepted that I will not sew tissue patterns, I do not enjoy that process. You can take all, multiple, or just one. Photos of the specific patterns available are in my post here: https://www.tumblr.com/ofchaosgoddess/821068667404140544?source=share

ISO: Beads and sequins for embroidery, scraps/off cuts of weird woods, glass beads, paper, stickers/art, fountain pen ink samples, leather. I mostly just want these out of my house so I’m pretty open and happy to make an exchange work.

OP: @ofchaosgoddess

I am in North America (USA). I am open to an international exchange. (sorry if this came through twice)

Hi! I have a bunch of half finished clothing projects, mostly fem in small. I hate to trash them, would anyone like them to finish or even just practice on? I can ship to anywhere in the US. Everything is like half done most just need clean up, hem, buttons etc. not the best picture but just a sample of what Ive got.

These are lovely! Anyone who is that size or has a friend they'd like to gift? OP would you want anything in return for the trade?

I'm moving, so doing a destash in exchange for new goods! I'm located in the US and would prefer to keep shipping to the US. Please contact me at @shootposted!

I have 3/4 fish banners - they'd work great as pin banners or wall tapestries, and have a pocket for a dowel to hang them on.

I have two fish backpacks, though one still needs a few finishing touches - they work great as drawstring bags and can be modified to be worn on your back!

I also have a lot of fabric - the orange/blue/grey is all hand dyed linen/cotton, and I have lots of yardage in (unpictured) red wool blend and white linen/cotton blend if that's of interest.

I have ~9 2oz bottles of candle fragrances that have around 1.7oz left per bottle - they were used for one small candle each for a gift, but there's still a lot of good fragrance left! Happy to go through and sort them by scent, but they're all very sweet baked good scents and are quite nice.

ISO: pretty much anything, but home goods/apparel are of most interest to me right now! Would love some woven towels of basically any size (or table runners, etc - I weave but don't have a loom so anything goes), I'm looking for a leather watch band, would love paper lampshades for my new place, and could always use more clothes for all seasons. I tend to love anything techy/cyberpunk/avant garde, so anything up that alley would be a great trade.

Let's help OP move!

Christmas themed miniatures

Hello lovely craft exchangers! ISO: I am cottonkhaleesi and I am on the hunt for 14 christmas themed minatures to replace the incredibly low-skilled ones that came with my wooden tree.  the current ones range between 2.5 cm and 3cm in height including the metal fixture. Happy for you to go hog wild on medium/output because frankly anything will be better than this:

(Waow that turned out quite big. lookit those terrifying painted faces.) 

In return: I weave, crochet, knit, and sew on occasion, happy to journey with you on something custom or for you to tell me along the lines of ‘I would like a hat Xsize!’ etc whatever your fancy and is proportionate :) I am based in England, but willing to ship anywhere. 

Thanks again!

Hi!! I have my craft stuff back after renovations so time for some art trades!! I’m in the Netherlands and would prefer to ship within Europe.

I make: leatherwork, kandi bracelets (& other stuff, like masks), handpainted patches, beaded necklaces, earrings, scalemaille bracelets and earrings, loom knitted stuff, handsewn accessories like belt pouches and bags (& more!)

I would like: crocheted and knitted things, leatherwork, jewelry, patches, honestly just hmu and we can figure something out. I will also take digital art of my novel characters!

Here’s some examples! Some of these are ready made pieces that are up for trading! You can also look under the tag “Things I made” on my blog @brazenedminstrel.

Hey! I’ve submitted a post here once before, but I wanted to expand what I’m offering in trade based on what people have requested, if that’s okay? Offering: Almost anything sewn, except clothes, from plushies to tote bags to blankets and quilts and everything in between. I can knit and crochet, though for anything more complex than beanies I prefer to crochet, and will happily crochet beanies or amigurumi and knit beanies or other small knit objects (I am almost definitely not willing to make another ufo music box, though, sorry). I also have experience making clothing, mostly historical clothing, for AG size dolls and would gladly make those for trade (I am down to try making Barbie-sized clothes but have no experience in that). I can do basic embroidery and even more basic levels of chain mail, and have a stash of jewelry making supplies including pendant options I could trade with, if anyone is interested. I am about to make my first memory bear made out of clothing for a neighbor, and if that goes well it will be an option too. ISO: Small art pieces to put on my art wall, machine embroidered patches (I’m specifically thinking machine embroidered eyes I can use on plushies), tiny swords, anything scaled for a 1/12 scale dollhouse (I am slowly making the furniture for one), small plushies (I hand out plushies on Halloween in addition to the candy and can always use more plushies for that), possibly larger plushies (to add to my collection), and I am definitely open to other trade options, I just really love art trades You can reply in the comments or message me, my tumblr is tj-crochets.tumblr.com, and I’m based in the US. I’d prefer to ship only to the US, but might be willing to ship elsewhere in North America depending on the trade and the shipping costs

Taking a bit of a leap to see if I can connect with other crafters/artists through this (and break a bit of a creativity rut)! Would love to maybe establish even a penpal type art exchange as I also have cute stationary and enjoy wrapping gifts 🌼

Offering:

Ceramic items like little statues, jewelry, or variations on the mug/tea-set format. My kiln is currently being set up after moving but I would love to get started on something again soon. I also have several already bisqued mugs I could just illustrate on and glaze too. Also offering small illustrations (like postcard sized), and sashiko.

I also periodically weave, sew, and crochet but am not confident I can deliver on those things post-move since I don’t have the set up for larger fiber projects. I could probably make a small stuffed creature though via hand sewing!

Some of my work may still be visible in my Etsy shop (currently on hiatus) if u are curious about what I make.

ISO:

Ceramics (I love seeing and collecting other’s work), illustrations/painting, jewelry, fiber arts (accessories, embroidered handkerchiefs, plushies), carvings, bookbinding, calligraphy/pretty mail.

Happy to discuss ideas with anyone interested! 🌸

We'd love to help you find that creative spark again!!
