My First Rav Swap - What I sent
This is what I sent my swap partner about a month ago. The theme was books, comics, and graphic novels. I read my swapee's favorite book: The Dispossessed, and tried to base the swap off of it. The orange washcloths represent an orange blanket that the main character had. I had quotes from the book on all the bookmarks to correspond with the handmades, also. The e-book cover was fun to make. I had to adjust the pattern because it was originally for a kindle, and my partner had a sony e-reader smaller in size. It was a challenge at first, being my first attempt at a lace pattern. I really like how it came out though. I want to make one for my kindle, too. The stitch markers were my very first attempt at making stitch markers! It was a lot of fun. Working with the polymer clay was a little challenging for me, too, since I rarely ever do it. I love how the little books came out. (Of course I made a few extra for myself!) I found some yarn in her favorite colors: Panda Cotton for socks, and some Sugar'n Cream for washcloths. I had a lot of fun putting this swap together. =)
