Description:
This one similar to http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/16658 which LaceD2sugarDoll is hosting but it is US only. But it is NOT to be like the picture she posted of a whimsy jar fairy. It is to be like the Lisa Kettle pictures on flickr! A little fairy who lives in a jar with a few belongings.Decorate the outside and the lid, add a tag describing your fairy and package really well for transport :) I am hoping that others will be as excited about this one as I am, so I am starting this swap (with permission from LaceD2sugarDoll. This is my first time to host a swap other then private swaps so if I miss something please let me know. DO you know what a fairy jar is? True to its name, a fairy jar contains an altered art fairy. It can be filled with embellishments, recycled items and inspiring words that can brighten up your home or garden. Your fairy jar can be as elaborate as you wish. Check out these photos for some ideas: link didn't work... search for lisa kettell on flickr and look at her captured jar fairies. They are superb! You will need: 1) clear glass jar minimum of 16OZ for this swap (or 2 cups) 2) created altered character fairy 3) decorate the jar lid & fill with cute things your fairy will need. 4) Please send a short description about what kind of fairy you captured, and what powers the fairy has. ie good luck, makes dirty dishes go away etc. 5) Make it beautiful! If there is enough interest I will host one for international as well as I just LOVE these! Shipping for this one is to Canada and US only so it shouldn't be too expensive. I will not put a price requirement on this but PLEASE make it FAIRY-IFIC! (terrific, wonderful, fantastic, something to treasure) I will read profiles... every last word. If I feel you may not fulfill the swap I will ban you as no one likes to be flaked on. Please have VERY detailed profiles.Any questions please ask!I am on swapbot most everyday and let back to you as fast as I can. Thank you in advance for joining this swap... Lets have some creative fun!

Welcome everyone! Thanks for joining! I think this is going to a lot of work... but also a lot of fun! Take a look at lisa kettles flickr photos if you need some inspiration. Her work is just gorgeous, and I am sure all your creations will be too!

Wow... there is a lot of these going around, apparently... as I opened one, too... not realizing one had just ended by another user... and, now, not realizing you had one, too. :(

Quick Question, are we supposed to put a fairy inside the jar or are we supposed to take, say a picture of a fairy and put it on the jar?

Jiveknifekiss: You can make your fairy however you would like. The idea is to create a fairy and her home.

Keep in mind they will be traveling so make sure they are created with quality and everything should be secured nicely to the jar, as the postal system will send them on a roller coaster ride I am sure!

Adoptacritter: No worries, I for one do not think anyone has the rights to a swap, usually I ask though just in case the other person thinks it's theirs.There are no real rules on this, just general practice and curiousness I guess.

EVERYONE: I am hoping for extremely beautiful fairies to be created for our partners. This will take time and energy! I hope everyone will upload pictures to so we can see everyones beautiful work. If you need inspiration search "fairy jar" or captured fairy" on flickr. There are lots of beautiful ones there.

PLEASE only sign up if you are planning on sending as this is too time consuming to angel. I will try my best to find angels if needed but I really plan on reading profiles thoroughly to alleviate any possible problems.

Thank you everyone for joining... we still have time for some more to join...

I have very large clear ornaments can i use these instead of jars?

For whoever my partner turns out to be; I will be moving to college just before the swap date on this, so please contact me before so I can give you my new address or an address where you can ensure that I get my fairy

Scrapbag... the description for this one does call for a jar. You could contact your parnter and see what they feel about the glass ornament but if not then a jar would need to be sent.
