I am a tiny bit late sending mine. I will get it out Monday.
I received mine, I’ll take pictures soon. Thanks Mmloda!
My face may be a little green with envy on that dragon! I need to order a PYO Oriental to paint soon, I need to have one.
I cringed while reading this thread, because I can’t imagine dealing with a major car accident, including injury and loss of the vehicle, the holidays, your business, and the task of keeping a swap like this organized. I don’t think anyone would point out this swap as an example to be emulated…indeed, the organizer never said that nothing was wrong, just that she was doing the best she could given the circumstances.
Yes, it took her awhile to address these concerns in this thread, but… Honestly, who would want to jump in on what was being said here?
Re: the organizer not being eligible for a Melody piece… What thanks do we imagine the organizers get for running these swaps? There is no compensation. Make some rule like that, and you’ll have even fewer people willing to take that hit for the team. Worse yet, you might well scare Melody off from participating, because people fight over the “right” to the piece from her.
I love every swap piece I’ve ever had painted for me, as well as every piece I’ve painted for someone else. I love that this company, this art, that I’ve been in love with for 25+ years is still going strong, and that I can participate in opportunities like this swap, in this forum, with an amazing group of people including Melody.
I get being disappointed in the lack of communication. I get being disappointed in the disarray. But I really don’t think there was much hint of wrong-doing going on, and I understand why the organizer would feel attacked by the comments made.
96037 – I definitely see that organizing swaps might not be something you want to do, given all the other things going on in your life, but I hope you won’t be put off from participating if you would like to. Thank you for the time you invested in this swap, especially considering that the energy came at a time when you had so little to spare.
I received mine today from Hannah! This is “Alexandrite”, my birthstone and favorite gemstone. Gorgeous!
I haven’t received mine yet, so I assume it was one of the delayed ones. Anticipation makes the final reward sweeter, I suppose. 😀
I don’t know if I’m more excited for my person to get theirs, or to get mine! These have been so good so far!
I dropped the package at the post office today! I can’t wait until they see it! I’m very proud of how it turned out.
My swap piece is painted and clear-coated. Just eyes and gems left and it will be ready to ship! How is everyone else doing on the swap?
Another shot of Full Fathom Five. My only other pictures are progress shots.
