Angel Swap info & VS Brayer Workshop

Thanks to all of you who will join in my Angel Swap. 

The swap invitation is now closed.

Very soon we will have a wonderful Heavenly Host of Angels taking flight around the world. 

Here are the participants......

Dolores(2),   Shaz Silver Wolf(2),   Donna,   AnnB(2),   Neil(2),  Morti(2), 
Vicki Okie Nurse(2),   Maria(2),  Lunch Lady Jan(2),   Chris pearshapedcrafter,   Famfa(2), Ali of Teddy Bob Crafts(1), Annie Wipso(2),and Jo Twiglet (2) 
are all definites.

Please email me so we can exchange snail mail addresses and (only if you want to swap two), please give me permission to pass on your details just to one other so your No2 angel can be posted by one of the other participants.

I hope I have not missed out anyone who has expressed an interest but do contact me if there are any queries.

We also have POSSIBLE sign ups by  Peggyappleseed, Caro,and L'il Pidge.

No pressure if you can't manage it but I'll be grateful if the "possibles" let me know as soon as they can if they will join in or not.

You only have to commit to making ONE.

If you make one angel you will receive one angel made by me. 

However, you do have the OPTION to make TWO. 
I will add (2) after the names who plan to do so.

If you want to make and swap two angels just send me one and I will draw names and tell you to whom you should send your No2.

It would be nice if you don't post them on your blog before they have been received so be sure to thank people as soon as they arrive.

Guidelines ....The angels should be small enough to use as a Christmas decoration and thus should be light for posting. They should have a facility, eg., a loop or cord by which they can be hung.
Please add a tiny tag with your name and also, for fun NAME the angels .... we might get a Gladys or a Henrietta amongst them!

The angels can be made from anything you wish, just use your imagination:

Card, Grungeboard, Embossed, Beads, Metal, Fabric, Lace, Plastic, Heavy Acetate, Feathers, Angelina(Angel Hair Fibres), Shrink Plastic, Stampboard, Wood, etc. etc!!! 

Try not to buy materials but delve deep into those hidden stashes of treasures.

Please try to finish and post your angels by the weekend of 7th December which gives you around 4 weeks to make them and around 3 weeks for them to arrive before Christmas.

I will start posting them day by day on my blog through December then the whole host will be posted together in all their glory before Christmas.

Finally and totally unconnected......
Here are the examples of my inefficient, incompetent, brayering which I produced at the Vicky Stampers workshop on Saturday and the resultant cards, which, nonetheless, I must admit I quite like. The imperfections suit the mood of the sky and the overall scene. I must practice a bit/lot/...an awful lot so I can do it really beautifully and at least partly as good as our excellent tutor Jacqui! 
It was still an excellent day of crafting and lots of fun with lovely people.
