Round 2! I loved the first swap so much I just HAD to make another!! This time, with a twist!!

Isn't Ernie just the cutest?!?!?! Well I know I am crazy about the holidays, I'll bet if Ernie could talk he'd love them too! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because I'm a face painter and it's the best fun of the year! Plus I love to decorate.

Sooo....this time you will make one Ernie the Envie something, but with a Halloween theme. Sound fun? I hope so!

You could make a plushie and sew on a little witches hat. Make him green with fangs like a Monster, Shape him like a pumpkin but keep the same colors, style, etc. Make a Jack-O-Ernie! I can't WAIT to see what you come up with!

In this swap you will have one partner to send to.

This is sender's choice of what kind of item to send, however there ARE a few requirements:

It must be 2 or 3 dimensional. In other words, no flat drawings, digital files, printouts, colored envelopes, etc. ATCs ARE okay if they are multi layered and nicely done. You could make stuffies out of fabric, felt, ornaments, shrink plastic, painted wood, metal, polymer clay, cross stitch, paper mache, air clay, stained or painted glass, earrings or jewelry, ornaments, etc. Really the sky (and your imagination) is the limit.

Let's make a lasting tribute to our favorite little envie with a Halloween twist! You must have at least 3 rated type 3 swaps to join. No unresolved 1's and no recent 3s, and any negative ratings must have a good explanation.

I WILL angel for this if I have to but really, if you don't think you can send, please don't join this swap! I'm giving you three whole weeks after your partner is assigned to get this done so you will have plenty of time to think things through and make something really nice. There is no size limit (I personally just LOVE teeny tiny things!), but please make sure it is nice no matter what size it is. Let's put some real thought and effort into this and make it a great swap. :)

This is U.S.A ONLY due to postage costs. You are welcome to start your own International version. Please do NOT gripe at me in comments about it being only U.S.A. I am hosting this, I can't afford to send internationally as much as I would LOVE to, so therefore it is U.S.A. only.

The image used is what I got for the last swap. It's glass and was made by the awesome @smadronia (I just added the Halloween stuff!)

Are you going to do round 3? I need more time to make mine as it is latch hook, and I have 6 torn tendons in thumb/ wrist so will take me extra time to make. I could get started now, so it would be ready fo the next 1 though.

That's my Ernie! I'm so glad you like him :)

Yes @transplanted1 I plan on doing these about once a month or every 6 weeks or so. So go ahead and get started! The next one will be Thanksgiving OR Senders choice. that way people can make what they want! :)
