Which critter would it be? Will it be whichever there are a bunch of when you start the swap? I remember watching one of the other swaps and it looked like a lot of fun 🙂
We do them all, but I think muses are left out, lol, some people specify what critter they want, and colours, others just colours or critter, and some dont specify anything! Some will specify what they dont want to paint (I refuse dragons cause I suck at scales lol) so in the end everyone is happy (i hope) with what they get to paint, and what they get painted for them!!
You can choose which sculpture you prefer and do not prefer to paint. dragonmedley and I always do ur best to make everyone happy.
Got a busted Windstone?

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmI also want to make a point here. There are many people who don’t want to join because they are afraid that their work isn’t good enough and that their swap partner might feel cheated. We always hear, “I can’t paint.” or “I don’t have any talent.” This isn’t aimed at you Skeeter, I’m so happy you are willing to join! 8) It’s just that these statements always come up.
I don’t give a flying flip whether or not anyone thinks they can or can’t paint. If I was afraid that I couldn’t get something of equal value in return, then I wouldn’t enter the swap in the first place. That’s not why we hold the swaps. The swaps are about giving and receiving. They’re about giving it your best and making something special for someone… and that’s all that matters. The swaps are a big forum feel good. 🙂
And FYI, even the best artists are often plagued by fear (heck, there’s books on the subject). It’s the nature of the beast. LOL
So there! 😛 I’ll get off my soapbox now, but I want to see a big long list of participants. 😆
That’s EXACTLY how I was feeling, bayou!! I see some of the amazing things that some of you guys make and I worry that my swapee would be disappointed. I picture someone opening the box and saying “What the heck is THAT??”. I’d like to give it a shot, when I watched the past swap I felt like I was missing the fun!! 😀
If someone is joining the swap only to get a great piece, then their heart is in the wrong place and shouldn’t enter the swap to begin with. 😛 Sorry if that offended anyone… it’s just my two cents. 😳
If you’ve never painted a PYO before, feel free to ask any of us for any pointers so you aren’t starting cold turkey. Nam has a great tutorial on painting PYOs… and I have a step-by-step muse thread somewhere. 🙂
I’ll also add that thanks to the swaps, I’ve tried things I never thought of before. I think both me and the recipients were pleasantly surprised…
And I think we’ve had member paint their first ever PYO in the swap! So if you want to join in, you are welcome. Lurkers too!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmIs another swap lined up? Yay, I can’t wait! I’ve been absent here for a while but definitely don’t want to miss it. I agree, it’s really fun for me and kinda like painting a special piece as a gift in a way for someone, but I’m still fearful and nervous they won’t be happy with it.
Agree, agree, agree! My skillz are coming along – I’ve painted for greater basilisk, purpledoggy and meganichan (I think they were pleased with their pieces) and received from emerald, pegasi and kujacker and was totally thrilled by their work! It’s the fact of someone painting just for you, that they were sharing with me a part of themselves :yes: I can hardly wait for the next one! Me boyohs want to enter as well – twindragon1 (ethan) and twindragon2 (sean) *bounces in seat with impatient excitement..)
twindragonsmum :snappy: 😀

Are we doing another swap? i loved the 1st one. Only problem might be getting a pyo something to do it, but i got lucky last time and someone had a blank to sell me. (my own swap partner in fact!)
Keeper of the Fledgings
I’m really shy about my painting but wanted to know how long do we have to get the PYO done. I’m getting really good at muses, hahaha. I could try a dragon (first one) or anything but a wolf. Thinking about this…..
Edit: This sounds better and better – I’ll give it a try, sign me up when we get a list going *runs off to practice on a muse, poor guy*
