Ideas for a new exchange.

[Gina E.]

For those of you who are not yet "all swapped out", I have some ideas for our next exchange. One of our newest members - Dawn - mentioned on a previous discussion that she makes Pendibules. I'd never heard of these, so I asked what they are, and Annie very kindly provided a link to a tutorial for making them. I can only describe them as half a biscornu, but they are really cute. On the same site, there are also tutorials for biscornus and cubes. I've seen the cubes and pendibules on other blogs but didn't know what they were called. Now that I do, I'm dying to have some in my collection! The best way to achieve that is organise an exchange!! Who would like to be in this one? If it goes ahead, I won't start it until July/August, to give us a bit of a break between projects here. The round robin continues until September, but that will be the only other project still active.
Here is the link to the site that Annie has provided: Catia Crafts

OK, and what is Zigouigoui? I never heard of it.

Amber, Gina gave this link earlier in this discussion to a tutorial for the Zigouigoui:

In French, but lots of pix.

Hello, ladies. I was going through my notes and came upon this list of fun object - pendibules, humbugs, etc. Do we have enough interest to get a swap going here? Gina's time for revisiting was July/August - well, August is slipping away! LOL!

Hi Liz,
You're right about that, and I was hoping we could combine this original idea with Jan Lennie's suggestion of a round robin of individual items, which could be cards or ornaments I guess. Have a look at this Discussion and see what you think. It would mean making more than one ornie though, so if you would prefer a one off swap with someone, post a reply here and I'll get it going

The round robin sounds very interesting, Gina. I will "study" the idea further. Thank you for responding so quickly!
