weekly featured swap: Fabric Art Charms Swap
Mar 26th 2007 11:06:53 am
This week’s featured swap is the Fabric Art Charms Swap coordinated by funkychickenoriginals. Yes, funkychickenoriginals was also the coordinator of last week’s featured swap. I did not mean to pick the same host twice, but this swap just looked so original I couldn’t pass it up. In the future, I will be sure to spread the coordinator love around a bit more…
Anyhoo, the Fabric Art Charms Swap is all about swapping a fun new art item: fabric charms. Each swap participant has only one partner to send to, but they must send twelve fabric charms. It is an international swap, but please read all of the swap details before signing up. The swap is open for signup through April 1st.
So, what exactly is a fabric art charm? Fabric art charms are 1″ squares of fabric and fibers that are stitched around all of the edges. They can include beads, buttons, or other embellishments, and they often include a grommet so that the charms can be attached to jewelry. They can also be called fabric collage charms or fiber art charms.

Happy swapping!
