Description:
For October 2015 make your partner an ornament in a NEST theme Medium of your craft, colors, character or theme are all sender's choice as long it is in the theme Nest. Get creative if needed! But it is always thoughtful to look at your partner's profile. Please do nice work, send on time, rate partner and communicate with your partner if needed. I will angel if necessary, but we have a great group and hopefully I won't need to angel. Then I have an idea for the next months - general themes: Jan : Kawaii Halloween Feb: H - Haunted Mar: A - Afterlife Apr: L - Lunar May: L - Lantern (as in Jack-o-, or what the headless horseman carries or as in any kind of spooky light theme) June: O - Ogre (or Ogress) July: W - Witch (or Warlock) Aug: E - Evil Sept: E - Eyeball Oct : N - Nest (doesn't have to be a nest - could be a bird such as owl, raven etc) (if your partner is on the creepier side...spider nest, wasp nest, termite nest, snake nest, etc...but please only do things like that if it is obvious they would be into it....I'm okay with creepy or cute!) image is of a vintage pc

Sorry for not being very descriptive! I'm always either too wordy or not wordy enough.

So if it helps, a Halloween Ornament should be kind of like a Christmas Ornament, something small-ish and decorative for the holiday and it needs to hang.

It is completely sender's choice as to what medium the ornament is made of...it can be sewn (hand, machine, fabric, felt, etc) stitched (cross-stitch, plastic canvas, embroidery, needlepoint, etc) it can be altered art, upcycled materials crafted and/or altered, store-bought craft items crafted together, collaged, metal work, wire work, beaded, ceramic, clay, sculpted..l.what else can I list? List some others if you have ideas to share!

Good "N" idea, @needlewings !

Thanks also for starting the idea discussion for the future 3 months!

so the future three months can be anything and don't have to start with any specific letter? i've really been wanting to try chunky houses, maybe we could do a haunted house?

i also wouldn't mind just doing a happy mail/ ephemera swap that's halloween themed

Yes, @chicklebird they don't have to be a particular letter. Those are fun swaps! Maybe you could host either? Right now I'm more into hosting ornaments but I would probably join those swaps, too!
