Lowkey Stashbusting/Hand Created Exchange?

[karanguni]

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.

I'm in! I think I have enough embroidery floss and keyrings to make a knotwork keyfob for anyone who wants one.

Ooh, yes, I am in! I can promise to make at least one shiny-and-potentially-colorful chain maille bracelet. (Really a month ought to be enough to make several and I'd like to do that especially if people want them -- one of the reasons I don't make them is that I'm not sure what to do with them afterwards -- but it depends on how much other stuff is going on that month. And I am confident in being able to make at least one no matter what. :) )

That sounds like fun!

I'm tentatively in, with friendship bracelet-and-bead stuff.
