Star Ornament Swap!

The Star Ornament swap is one of our current swaps that is due in my hands November 1st ~ wow, only 3 weeks away! Amazingly, there are still a few spaces left to join, if you can work quickly & send your swap pieces in very soon, to be here by the 1st (see the right sidebar for a sign-up button via PayPal ). There are 31 participants registered already, from the US, Canada, UK, The Netherlands, Australia & Germany! It is sure to be a great swap with lots of talent and fun. I am participating myself, and here is what I have come up with so far . . . I worked mostly with wire and beads, but created a few paper stars -- one is wire & handmade paper and another one uses a fabric collage sheet image on top of watercolour paper. Remember, I said anything goes for this swap as far as the medium used to create your stars!

The last two stars with the black background were created on watercolour paper and feature images from Alpha Stamps collage sheets - the blue star uses an image from The Moon & Stars Fabric Sheet and the black & white star's image comes from the wonderful Alchemical Spheres collage sheet.
