I got kind of addicted to making merit badges in another swap, so I started playing around with making some more. And now I have a bunch decorating my bag. They’re cute, can be pinned or ironed on, and I don’t have to be in steampunk regalia to wear them around. You can make the badge or medal ANY WAY you wish. Embroidered, poly clay, metal/wire work, jewelry techniques, knit, etc. It does have to be made to wear, so keep that in mind. But as Heidi would say, there’s going to be a little twist. And I love twists. You’re going to design your badges/medals with your partner in mind. evil laughter Not only will you be making a medal/badge with your partner in mind, nooo. You must tell them how they got the medal/badge! Were they Time Traveler of the Year? Can they Knit Themselves out of Any Danger? Perhaps they’ve served their Country and deserve the Highest Honor? Perhaps they’re the Mad Scientist with the Weirdest Hair? Perhaps they Crafted the End of Time itself! It could be kooky, serious, or whatever, but it has to be about them! To help you out, though, I’ll minimize your homework (and stalking abilities) by asking everyone participating to either mention in their profiles or post this questionnaire below (and I will be checking for answers): 1.What’s you’re steampunk style? (This should be pretty straightforward. Are you gothy? Romantic? Goggles and gears are the must have accessories? Sepia tones? Maybe you like the more ornate and bright colors that were favored by the Victorians? Leather or lace?) 2.Do you have any characters your partners could get some inspiration from? (Maybe you LARP, help out the local historical society, RPG, or maybe this is your daily wear. You can even come up with a character on the spot if you want to, maybe to give your partner some ideas. And not everyone has to be the Mad Scientist or Time Traveler – most of my characters aren’t!) 3.Anything else you want to add? (Personailty? Colors you favor? Are you a serious person? Or would you like a badge of not-so-serious?) Ratings: This is a profile-ish based swap. So A LOT of it is up to your partners. However, your partners should remember that I am letting in ALL craft types, and presumably, all crafting levels from beginner to Martha Stewart. Rate accordingly within the rules set by the Swapbot Admin: whether you received, it was on time, and it met the requirements, should all be considered as well. Items should not be dirty, nasty, or go against postal regulations. These are small items, so they should not beworth much postage. Eligibility: No 1’s within a six month period. No recent (within six months) 3’s WITHOUT a good explanation PMed to me first please (I.E.: When you sign up!). Must AT LEAST have a 4.5 rating with a good swapping history. I am going to be wary of suspicious swapping history. Newbies with at least one type three swap under their belts, NO 1’s or 3’s, can join. This is a regional swap, so do not sign up if you're not from the continent of North America. If someone wants to do an international version, feel free! |
