dirtygreatknife: (Happy time!)

I recieved my gift on Friday--not one, but TWO! I was so surprised and very grateful. It's been a difficult three months here, so this was a very welcome and appreciated surprise.

The first packet I opened was from [personal profile] elwinfortuna and WOW. It's a set of five pieces of handmade jewellery that are Babylon 5 themed. I've loved that show from the first time it aired, and to have this unique collection of stunning pieces really thrilled me. The photo really doesn't do it justice, and I did take several shots to try and get a photo that would do all the amazing pieces justice, so you'll just have to imagine it's a million times better in real life than in this photo. I did chuckle at the Drazi necklace--"He who takes green is green leader, he who takes purple is purple leader," so like Ivanova in the episode, as I have both, I'm now leader of both, which is a win. I love the bracelet which is themed to the episode "Deconstruction of Falling Stars," one of my favourites in the show, along with "Sleeping in Light" which got its own necklace, and "Shadow Dancing" which are the earrings. I love the choice of stones in the "Born to the Purple" necklace, they're so unique and perfect for that episode. It's like Amy read my mind! Thank you so much, I love, love, love it all, and I can't wait to be able to go somewhere that I can wear these pieces.

The second packet was from [personal profile] yourlibrarian and contained eight various necklaces made in different themes from my list of likes. I particularly liked the colour choices and stones used, and the art deco ones are gorgeous with their shiny pieces and beads. As with the first set, the photo does not do these pieces justice, and so you'll have to imagine them looking a million times better in real life, which, like the first set, I know is hard to do. Again, I look forward to being able to go out somewhere when restrictions are lifted here so I can wear these pieces. Thank you so much for all of these, I love them all so much, and thank you for your generosity in making so many, I have so much to choose from!

I was beginning to wonder if this would ever arrive, given how slow the post is right now and the updates on the tracking slip were non-existant, but it was delivered today, so now I can share with you all what I made.

This is the junk journal I made for [personal profile] tjs_whatnot. I had intended to do a little video of it, but my camera broke, and when I tried with my phone, it fell out of the tripod and a few pixels cracked, so I decided that I'd not try again. Instead I took a ton of photos--not of every page, but enough to give you all an idea.

I tried to incorporate as many of [personal profile] tjs_whatnot's interests as I could into this junk journal. I hope she likes it. All pictures are beneath the cut, click the thumbnails to embiggen.

So that's it! I hope you all enjoyed it, and I really hope that [personal profile] tjs_whatnot liked it.

I realized during the process of this latest round of H2H that I had never posted the previous works I'd made to AO3. So I decided to get that started and, now that the package has been delivered, I have updated it with the items from this latest round which went to [personal profile] ragdoll.

As of February 9th noon est, sign ups are now closed.
Comments have been turned off.



Sign ups are open!

Please copy and paste the text from the box below into a comment.

But first, a little explanation on what we need in the sign ups and why. First and foremost, the sign ups are mostly for us to find the best matches we can with what people want to receive and want to offer. Please be as specific as you can in your request. Gifters, if you need more info, please come to us (homemade2homemademod@gmail.com) and we’ll be your go between.

Name: We don’t need your real name right now. We'll ask for that when we get your address for your crafter.
Email: PLEASE make sure it’s one that you check regularly. There are a few times throughout the fest that we will need to get a hold of you via email.
Things you geek about: We need to know what fandoms, hobbies and interests make you happy. Please be specific as you can, from favorite color, favorite character, favorite song, etc etc...You don’t want a Gryffindor scarf if you’re in Slytherin now do you? Or let's say you put that one of your interests is horses, but you are terrified of unicorns, you wouldn’t want any of those showing up on an embroidered thing, would you? Also, if you don’t want fandom related things, or only want fandom related things, let us know that too. Same goes for interests and hobbies.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: Allergies--we need to know all the things you can’t have from food allergies to scents and fibers. Postal restrictions--are there things your country won’t let be sent through the mail? Sometimes this differs if the packages are sent internationally or within the same country. Simple Do Not Wants--This is the place to put things you just don’t like, crafts you really don’t want to receive. Not into baked goods? Don’t want to receive the same type of craft that you make? This is the place to tell us.
What kind of crafter are you? What are you willing to gift? Are you a potter or a woodworker? A knitter or a candymaker? Do you dabble in a bunch of things? Are the things connected by medium? If so, are there things you DON’T do? Do you not want to do fandom specific things? Only want to do fandom specific things?
What country do you live in? and Are you willing to ship internationally? These two go together. If you live outside the USA, and can't ship internationally for whatever reason, we might still be able to match you. There were at least two participants from every country represented last year. Get in touch with the mods to talk more. This year, we need everyone to track their parcels, thanks!
