Swap Gallery - The Great BIG Bug Swap!

This swap sort of took on a life of it's own. LOLOL! It just growed & growed!
I have to say a HUGE thank you to all my swappers... I can't say enough
good things about them. They were all wonderful & really made this swap a success!

Everybody seemed to have such a good time with the swap. Imaginations worked
way overtime... as you'll see from the photos! Experienced clayers encouraged
newbies... everyone shared ideas as they went... just a fabulous experience
on every level! {{{Bug-Hugs all around!}}}

***Don't forget to check out the Kids Swap photos on the last page!
They did an outstanding job! :::clapping wildly!:::

Amazing feats of engineering combined w/art. What great little critters. And hats off to Joanie who's always waving for putting it all together. Way to go. When I see all the entries I realize I absolutely wouldn't have had nearly enuf time, but I would have learned so much... Louise

WOW~ Joanie, what a fantastic job on the photographs! They just look so special I love looking at them all! Thank you Sue & Joanie for the VERY nice words about my silly bugs. I have had a ton of fun making them! Denise

Thanks Casey! Be sure to check back in a couple of weeks when ALL the bugs will be posted! ~~~~~Joanie

CaseyAnne		09-Nov-2003 17:07
...why wasn't "I" born with any artistic talent?? :( These are so neat! Athough I'd step on any real bugs in my home, these would definitely have a place on a shelf somewhere. I'm impressed swappers!

Joan Croyder		09-Nov-2003 05:24
I love Denise's too... Denise has a finely honed whimsy-bone!! (she giggles... a LOT) I think letting some of those bugs go out of my house is going to be the hardest part of the swap Sue! ~~~~Waving! Joanie

Fairy Crazy		09-Nov-2003 04:15
These are great!! I wish I sent more so I could get more!! LOL!! How will you ever part with them all?? I love Denise's! Sue

I am especially fond of Ronda W's choice of neutral earthtone colors. For a beginner her work looks more like a professional.

Cute little buggers, aren't they? ---Helene

Jenny		08-Nov-2003 03:00

OK, so I should have joined the bug swap. They look great. Can you write up a little blurb about it that I can use in EOPC publicity. I'm looking for tid bits from Guilds and individuals alike. Trina
