I haven't been much of a swapper. I had one very bad experience about two years ago were I send my parth but never received anything in return and another one in about the same period were the receiver wasn't happy with what they received at all and did a great job in letting me know in a terrible way. These turned me into as you might say a bit swapping-shy person. I always doubt if I can live up to the expectations, am afraid my package will not arrive in time or get lost in the mail.

But seeing some of the swaps going on at for instance Flickr made me realice I need to be brave because I love the idea of swapping with some other craftster/illustrators/artist and I must say the last year I did a few swaps wich turned out great. Not only did I received some wonderful stuff, for what I've heard the receivers where happy too!

This bracelet is a result of a swap with Antonella from Italy. She makes the most beautiful alternative jewelry and I'm so happy with this one she made especially for me!
