I’m loving all the photos of everyone’s swaps! There are some gorgeous pieces here!
Hannah, I am so glad you like the dragon I did. I go to the beach every year with my family so the pic you sent really resonated with me!
Here is my swap piece by dragonmedley! I had given several options/ideas for my swapee to choose from. One was a kitsune in a safari/natural pattern like leopard or tiger. She loves servals, so that’s what she painted my piece as! I LOVE it! The pattern is gorgeous and I love the every other tail pattern as well. Stripes and spots; you can’t go wrong! It’s my first kitsune, and she is quite the mischievous looking girl! I think she might convince my other Windstones (especially the pebbles) to do something naughty.
Love baby kirins, safari poads, mini keepers, and anything BLUE, BLUE, and, oh yes, BLUE.
June 6, 2015 at 1:18 am #930503Mine arrived today!! I got a lovely pink unicorn.[ps-I sent mine off today and recipient should be getting it Monday]

Every act matters.No matter how small💞

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.June 6, 2015 at 1:46 am #930504Im glad you like her, I was worried about the pink, as some people hate it and some love it 😉 I figured it would be ok as you had said either a spring or summer themed Unicorn.
Here are a few shots I took :
I do hope she made it in perfect shape. I was worried that some of her gems may come loose.
June 6, 2015 at 1:58 am #930506Wow, I don’t even know what to say. ..
Abso-freak’n-lutely Amazing pieces everyone! They are all really incredible so far. Can’t wait to see the last few!
June 6, 2015 at 8:28 am #930511Very pretty pink unicorn! Great job Amstaff!
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
June 6, 2015 at 6:57 pm #930527My swapee should get theirs on Monday. I had to wait for my day off to mail it.
June 6, 2015 at 11:09 pm #930536I do have pictures of Baha but the batteries in my camera are dead right now once they’re charged I’ll see what I can do with posting them and more pictures of my swap from zloy720. I should have mentioned it sooner but I absolutely love him.
June 7, 2015 at 12:41 am #930526They are all so pretty so far! I got mine today from Pegasi1978. He is beautiful! She named him Baha, as I asked for a keeper in sea greens. She even sent me a bottle of Baha blast that she got the inspiration for the colors from! I love him! it must have taken forever and a very steady hand to outline all those scales! If you have pictures you can post please do! or I can email them to someone to post for me. He also came with a pretty crosstiched bag with a pendant in it!

I’m glad you like her – she was a lot of fun to paint, and that smile of hers is irresistible 🙂

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmJune 8, 2015 at 5:49 pm #930593Soooo… I got mine today !! And you know, I didnt really know what to expect, as I had requested Psychedelic colors, but also gave the painter other options if they couldnt do the psychedelic. I really wasnt sure if I would get something that would really speak to me or not, but I knew I would like it either way…
But I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the piece I received, as it blew me away !! It is TOTALLY my style, it is perfect! I had requested a darker type of psychedelic, as I didnt want anything too “Care-Beary” in style, lol !! , and this girl is just amazing !!! I LOVE HER !!!
Thank you so much !! Pegasus4240 (Angie)… you did an awesome job !! I adore her to bits !! I think this girls name is “Addi” as that is what was written on her felt pad 🙂 Oh, and I loved the little sketch you included with her !! Thank you !!
She totally looks like a Unicorn that I would expect to encounter in “Alice in Wonderland” ! I can see her now wandering through the dark forest, maybe surrounded by giant magical mushrooms 🙂
The pics just dont do her justice… she is a mix of greens and purples, her colors are amazing 🙂
June 8, 2015 at 6:31 pm #930595Kris! Thank you so very much, the Grif couldn’t be more perfect! He reminds me of stormy skies with the deep blues, grays, and touches of purple! Please pardon the horrible pictures we are getting all manner of rain today which makes for dreary inside photos. If you have better photos, please post them up!

I love this unicorn. Great job. In one of the pictures I can see the purple bits, the greens and blues. just gorgeous.
June 8, 2015 at 9:15 pm #930599Pegasus4240, really nice job on that unicorn! She’s one of my favorites from this swap so far. Her color gradations are really pretty and smooth. I especially like that you made the horn part of those colors too.
Hannah, I have to say that that little griffity is an awesome job as always (Very creamy looking, I have no other way to describe the smooth color blending you manage!). He’s so cute! Really nice color scheme you got to work with too.
Amstaff, nice line work on your detailing. SO clean and even looking! I have to ask what tool did you use besides really steady hands!?
Ghostndragon, I like the keeper you did. The second I saw him, he reminded me of a dark stone just taken from a rock tumbler but just before it’s rinsed off. Really neat effect. He really sparked some fond memories of my dad and I tumbling stones.
Dragonmedley, your serval kitsune is adorable. His colors just look so happy. I like how you continued the patterning down his tails. I think MandBsMom is right, he going to cause mischief among all the pebbles. 😉

Amstaff, I’m so happy she got there safe and sound and through customs and, most of all, that you like her. I had fun painting your uni and painted her sister at the same time. She’s a little more subdued than Addi:
So many gorgeous pieces everybody. 🙂
