Description:

Hello. This is an international swap where you will create a monster/creature out of socks! First inspired to me by sock monkeys and also the book: Stupid Sock Creatures. Pick a cool pair of socks and snip away to make a cool creation to send to your partner and protect their sock drawers. Write a little note to send with your creature introducing him/her and anything your partner should know about them. I won't be setting a size limit, but use adult socks to create a decent sized plushie/stuffie. Will have approx 4 weeks to create and send (though not based on profile so can start on the get go!). Also if enough interest, will create a sock monkey one as well.

Here are a couple of sites to get you inspired: http://www.stupidcreatures.com/

There rules as to every swap, I am sorry but no newbies for this onw, also if I feel a little unsure then sorry you won't be able to join. Ratings must not be lower than 4.8 and there must be no no sends within the last 3 months. If you have any questions please contact me and if it is clear that you have not read the rules then you will be deleted from the swap. It may be obvious but only join if you really intend to send and make sure you have the capacity. Enjoy!

Do we have to use a sock monkey type pattern or can we use our imagination as long as its made from socks?

lilacamy931 02/25/2009 #

Any technique as long as the socks are used for the creation of. The links above are just some examples ;)
