Finally settled up at home and up to figuring out how to do this...

Low-Key Handmade Exchange

tl;dr: Create something out of your stash or within whatever limited budget you want to set for yourself and ship it to a fellow participant.

How does this sound to folks for rules/a setup before we actually buckle down:

Schedule
Offers: ~ a day or two from now - 31 Jan
Signups: 1 Feb - 7 Feb
Shipping Deadline: 1 Feb - 29 Feb

During offers, participants list the items they're willing to create. This gets compiled into a list for signups.

During signups, participants list a minimum number of things they're willing to receive - depending on how many people we get - and how far they're willing to ship. And whether they can pinch-hit if we need to!

Matches are made to the best of my ability, and then we have a shipping deadline of the end of February.

How does that sound to folks?

 

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.
