Under The Sea cloth
The next picture was supose to go in my Crone Janes workshop but I must have not changed the blog. Once I saw it posted here it dawned on me that perhaps, if anyone else pieces together fabric as I do, you may want to trade me something for a square that I could post..or two..for front and back of a tote..or...? Just give me the measurements...Jane
Currently I have been wasting fabric and time trying to find the best products and material to stamp on for a sea theme for a tote I am designing. FINALLY I have found a shiny satin that receives luminous paint. I am excited now. So much time is sent in discovery. Now I am off to try to find different colors to companion with it.

Good morning traders. I have quite a few things to trade and am always working in different media�s.. As I am working in fabric art right now I would like anything I can embellish with or trading cards I can transfer to cloth or rubber stamps or�.you name it. I am going to try to put in a little from every different thing I enjoy so my needs are wide. The first art form I work in is metal engraving. The two pictures I am showing are very small. The frame is 6 inches x 6 inches and the engraved piece is three� x 3�. I have four in the same type of frames. Quite light weight so don� worry about my postage. I have some totes to put together today so will see you again tomorrow.

New Idea - Trading Room Treasures
Within this Trading Room, the only currency that
ever changes hands is the price of postage.
Negotiate an item swap with any traveller.
Exchange things you no longer use, for
something another traveller no longer needs,
and renovate your resources with new possibilities.
Trading goods are treasures of self-help books, poetry books,
novels, magazines, cards, art, and any audio visual item,
such as CD's, DVD's, Audio Book, or video.
The trade must be like for like so the postage is the
same, to allow for a fair exchange across
the miles.
A likely swap would be poetry book for poetry
book, a slim volume you have read and has
been good for a time, but you have moved on.
Announce the availability of this book on
the Trading Room blog, and wait for a
response. Post an image of the trade item
or items, if necessary.
Interested parties can post
an arrangement/negotiate a swap in the
comments section, and the final details of
the exchange can be arranged by email.
Heather has a list that can be used for your
reference.
Your collection can now be free of things you no
longer need, and you will get back a
new treasure to be inspired by.
The main thing to remember is that
postage cost should be the same for the
exchange, dollar for dollar, but the actual
item will always be a free exchange.
