Members wildrose Posted March 24, 2008 Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 Perhaps it'd be best to "research" a little of what the person you're sending to likes - i.e. I'm not great at patterns myself other than Celtic (which I have a ton of). It may be you'd end up sending someone something they already have. It's tough, I know, to come up with something someone you don't know that well might want, but as someone pointed out earlier, it's really great to have something someone else made out of leather. Maybe we could come up with a quick "questionnaire" that could be filled out and forwarded along to each person that wanted to participate? Or just some info about yourself? For example, I'm into the Renaissance/Medieval Faire scene, I love Celtic art, but am also really into the outdoors and wildlife, especially horses, cats and dogs. I collect model horses. My favorite leather stains are mahogany and saddle tan, and my favorite colors are orange, green and blue. Something brief like that would really give someone an idea of where your interests lie.

Members Tina Posted March 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 Jumpimg in adding some names to the list... Just a little note wildrose...By not doing the list, telling what you like etc there is a bigger chanse one might learn something, go outside the comfort zone. If we all get things that we alreaddy are doing then it would be a huge missed opportunity to broaden the horizon...My humble oppinion:-) Here's an added list: tazzman* wildrose* Cecil Johanna SCOUTER Myriam Froghunter Kani Rayban Bob Regis$ Wood? Clay (M) Banwell Hoyden jammon ferret$ Beaverslayer CitizenKate ETW Grumpy broncobuster rdb Oscar B wolfenstien ShirleyZ ClayB $ leatheroo$ superchute Hilly JLD "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members wildrose Posted March 24, 2008 Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 I sit corrected...after hearing from a few of you, I withdraw the majority of my last post I guess the basis of what I was trying to say was what someone pointed out earlier about not needing a saddle (can't recall the exact wording right now). I have a few pieces from other artists, which were sent to me as special gifts, and I love every one of them. Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members wildrose Posted March 24, 2008 Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 This is the current list. I re-did it slightly because Wolvie specifically asked for Beaverslayer early on in the discussion. tazzman wildrose Cecil Johanna SCOUTER Myriam Froghunter Kani Rayban Bob Regis Wood Clay M Banwell Hoyden jammon ferret Beaverslayer wolfenstien CitizenKate ETW Grumpy broncobuster rdb Oscar B ShirleyZ ClayB leatheroo superchute Hilly JLD Let's take names 'til this Fri. Mar.28, and give a sending out date of Fri. Apr.25. That gives almost a month, does that sound okay? Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 24, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 24, 2008 The squeeky wheel gets the grease EH Wolvie....? I was actually thinking on doing two things, one for Wolvie, and another for Kate, seeing as she was next in line. Well, ya never know Kate, something may show up anyhow.

Hilly Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Here's my thoughts on everything.... Johanna puts everyone's names in a hat, and draws one name. That person has to send something to the next name out of the hat, and so on. The last persons name to be drawn has to send something to the first name drawn. That way, you don't get to pick who you want something from, because that wouldn't really be fair. The item has to be gender appropriate. Johanna should get the snail mail and email addresses and genders of everyone involved, and send the name and address and gender of the recipient to the sender. Nobody except Johanna should know who has who's name, that way it would be a total suprise to everyone. Nobody would be able to voice preferences because they don't know who has their name. There should be a deadline set of at least 30 days. Everyone should send their items out on the same day. That way most everyone would get a package on their doorstep around the same time. It would be sort of like Christmas. A copy of the pattern/plans should accompany each project! Maybe even photos of the work in progress or photos and a tutorial? Everyone has to post photos of the item they recieve, and tell who made it. Now, this is just a thought, but maybe several months later, we could all make the item we recieved (because the plans/patterns were included), and auction them off for a good cause, or something. Maybe give the proceeds to maintain this website or something.
Members wood Posted March 25, 2008 Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 I think this is a great idea but you'll have to count me out on this round. I'm in an outage at work and we are working between 60 and 70 hours a week so I'm not home much to do my hobbie. Sorry to miss out but I'll catch the next round hopefully. Thanks and y'all make sure to post pics of what's being passed around. Later. "A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice." - Bill Cosby
