Bead Swap #7

“Summer Fun”

 

The purpose of this swap is to provide members an opportunity to experience the fun of swapping and building relationships with fellow artists. Swaps are open to members only – join here if you would like to be a member!

Summer Fun is a theme that’s full of potential and imagination.  

This swap is now closed.

If you miss the deadlines you will not be happy (please refrain from asking for an extension). You sign up on the Swap #7 Facebook Group.

You have the email list in your welcome packet. Make sure you read and understand all of the rules.

The swap coordinator’s contact information will be on the Facebook swap page. Which is also a great place to ask your questions.

Keep in mind swapped items will be made by participants of different skill levels. All that is required is that you make something that pleases you and you are happy to share with others. This is not a competition!!

Swap 7 Guidelines

What’s Next

  • The swap coordinator will divvy up the items received and create packages to ship to each participating member. They will be mailed out on the agreed shipping date and in a timely manner.
  • Keep in mind, the swap coordinator is a volunteer with their own life and is doing the best they can. Be kind.
    Let the swap coordinator know when you have received your swap box.
  • When swap boxes are received by each participant, open them, admire and fondle them. Think about the work that went into making each piece and where that artist might be on their glass journey. Don’t give constructive criticism to anyone’s piece unless they specifically ask for it. And if they have, be as kind and informative as you can by suggesting solutions and not just problems.
