Hello good people! A good number of you responded to my last post about creating things, with most of us also going "augh! I haven't done it in a while!" Would people be interested in a very low-key stashbusting exchange - something along the lines of everyone makes something but with some rules: 80% or more of your materials must come from your inventory stash (unless you have none), it must aim to be a project that can be reasonably completed in a week without stress, that kind of thing.

If enough people are interested, I'll set something up! It could be a pool we add to and that people pick their exchange gift out of (barring allergies &c.) or we could figure something else out (people could list projects they could do with their stash as "offers" and we do a Yuleswaps type setup? Auction type bidding for charity?)

Alternatively, we could have a make-along (?!) challenge where we pick a theme and vow to produce something for ourselves within a given timeframe of, say, a month, with a posting "schedule" for what you're planning to make and then the process you went through making it.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
