Title: 2015 Holiday Art Swap *Post Your Brags and Leave Feedback!*
Post by: HolidayArtSwap on November 08, 2015, 02:49:35 PM
:glitter: Welcome to the 6th :glitter:
Annual Holiday Art Swap!


Last year the ornament swap was one of our most successful swaps ever.  So we are bringing back the ornaments again!

Information:

As with last year, there will be two categories:

2D:  This category is for a more simple ornament.  Your design may be painted, drawn, or made digitally.  Any materials are acceptable; be as creative as you want!  If you choose to make your ornament on paper, then it must be done on sturdy paper and laminated or otherwise reinforced for durability.

3D:  This category is for those who want to get a little craftier!  You may paint onto an ornament, sculpt, sew, knit, and create a unique ornament for your partner.  Use your imagination and showcase your skills!

Rules:

* Each person will make an ornament for only one member.
* Put your screen name somewhere on the ornament so your partner knows who you are.
* Please mail on time. If you run into troubles or delays, PM this account ASAP.
* Please post a brag in the Art Swap Brag Thread once you have received your package.
* The swap is secret; we won't reveal anything until the packages are received and ask that you do the same.
* There can be no drop-outs once the partners have been assigned.  If you have any doubts about meeting the requirements, please don't join.
* Feedback will be left by each swapper for their partner once the swap is completed.

Other considerations:

* Please package your ornament carefully.  This is a fun swap and we don't want to have any broken or bent artwork.  Ornaments in the 2D category may be shipped in an envelope, but please reinforce your ornament with cardboard or something similarly sturdy to protect them from bending.  For fragile 3D ornaments, please wrap carefully and ship in a box with enough padding to protect your creation.

* If you choose to include extras in your swap box, please keep them under $5.  Extras are NOT compulsory.

Requirements to join:

* You have been an Arena member for 3 months and have at least 100 posts.
* Swappers must have 3 trading or selling references.
* Must be willing to mail internationally. If you can't, please do not sign up.
 
Please PM this account with the following information:

* Screen Name: 
* Full (real) name: 
* Email address: 
* Mailing address (including country): 
* In which category would you like to participate?
* Which holiday do you celebrate?  Would you like your ornament themed for that holiday? 
* References/feedback:   Please link your Arena feedback and provide the names of three people we can PM for a reference check.
* Ponies: Personas and/or Hasbro ponies that you like.  Reference pictures are required for personas.
* Anthro art:  Are you good, bad, or indifferent to it?
* Examples of your art: 

* Favorite treats:
* Any allergies?
* Favorite colors?

Deadlines:

Last day to apply: November 15th
Receive your swap names: November 17th
Start creating: As soon as possible.

International Ship Date:  December 15th
Domestic Ship Date:  December 20th

Glad to have you!  I'm participating again this year also.  Sorry for the super short signup window this year, guys.  Life since our move has been totally crazy and hectic and I've hardly been on the Arena at all.  This was the first time I've had a chance to get the swap going.  Eek!

Keep in mind that if you do a greeting card-sized 2D art, international shipping from the US is ONLY a $1.15 stamp! This is THE most economical swap in the Arena, shipping-wise!

That said- I'm undecided... I'm participating in lots of art comps and such, but I'll probably end up joining! ;)

Exactly!  That's why we included two categories.  2D to save money on shipping or for those who prefer to do their art on paper.  And 3D for the artists who like to sculpt or sew or anything else.  Going to be checking on references and applications for the night in just a little bit.  We would love to have you all!  :)

Lots of applications and quick responses on reference checks!  We have 5 approved swappers and three pending.  :)  Thank you everyone for your enthusiastic responses and for being flexible about categories (you know who you are.  ;) ).  This is going to be an awesome swap again this year!

I am STILL super proud of them

I love them so much! :heart: They're currently displayed in my pony cabinet among custom ponies but they'll be moved to the tree as soon as we get one! For the first time we actually have room for a full sized tree, I'm dreaming of getting one even though we'll be spending the holidays with our families as usual. IKEA had some very realistic looking trees last year, I wonder if they are bringing them back this year. I think they were only medium sized, though... But even that would be better than my mini tree of about 1 or 1.5 ft. :D 

Glad to have you join us too, Puuushie! ^.^

Okie dokie!  Signups are closed and the approved swapper list has been updated!  Sending ref check PMs for the last application that squeaked in last night and I'll have partners assigned as soon as I hear back from the last few people.  If you don't see your name, that just means that we are waiting on a response or two.  I'm happy with the turnout this year and excited to get started!  :)  Stay tuned for your partner PMs in the next day or two.

Sorry you missed out, BethMcBeth!  Hopefully you'll be able to join us next year.  :)

This is a pony art swap so if you'd like to make a non-pony one, you can send it as an extra. :)

Got my partner, this will be fun! :happy:

Plants Answer Post Here (all questions asked I will post  my answers on this page so they're easy to find)

Partner, what are your feelings on a non-pony ornament?
Since it is an ornament swap on the mlp arena I would prefer the ornament to be pony related. THat being said if you want to make another ornament and have it as an extra i'm ok with that. I'm on swap-bot and I have signed up for few ornaments swaps there so I prefer non pony stuff on swap-bot pony stuff on mlparena

What are your thoughts on a freestanding tabletop decoration instead of a tree ornament?
I love all types of decorations, pony ornaments end up getting hung up with my pony stuff so if its a stand alone ornament or decoration thats totally ok.

Glitter: yay or nay?
I don't really care for glitter, I guess a little here and there would be ok but honestly if you can get a pretty look without it I prefer that!

Partner, who is your favorite pony (and what generation)
This was really difficult I tried so hard and this was about as far as I could narrow it down to:

G1: Applejack, TE Bright Eyes, Galaxy, Gypsy, Masquerade, Moonstone, Night Glider, Night Light, Sweet Stuff, Tex, Tic-tac-toe, Tuneful (as a male)

G2: Princess Crystal

G3: Applejack, Autumn Crisp, Autumn Skye, Candy Apple, Forsythia, Guava Lava, Kiwi Tart, Moondancer, Pretty Pop, WaterFire

G4: Apple Jack, Feathermay, Maud Pie, Nightmare Moon, Sunset Shimmer, Tealove

Non-pony ornament: Okay as an extra.  ^.^

What are your thoughts on a freestanding tabletop decoration instead of a tree ornament?
Well I'm doing 2D, so this might not apply. If it does, I could surely display it with my Christmas cards!

Glitter: yay or nay?
fluttershy voice: "yay!"

Post by: Griffin on November 21, 2015, 02:46:35 AM
I have a couple of questions, too. :)

What are your thoughts on a freestanding tabletop decoration instead of a tree ornament?
(Just exploring all the possibilities here...) I'm fine with any type of decoration really, even a wreath or something like that... Feel free to go with any idea you like, partner! Ornaments tend to be smaller and more lightweight -> less expensive to ship, so I guess that's the most viable option anyway.

Glitter: yay or nay? :glitter:
I'm not a fan of excessive glitter but if the ornament involves snow... glitter goes perfectly with that! ;)   
Title: Re: 2015 Holiday Art Swap *WORKING*
Post by: Karma on November 21, 2015, 11:11:05 AM
For me, I don't care as much if it's pony or not :3 I also don't care if its a decoration or ornament, and, so long as the glitter isn't everywhere I'm cool with that too. Oh! but no plastic ribbon please, my cats eat it -_-;

Post by: Mkia on November 21, 2015, 08:51:36 PM
Pony vs Non-pony
I'm happy to receive either partner, or even a mix of both! Whatever your creative mind comes up with!!

Table or tree ornament?
I'd prefer a tree ornament. We have cats who will gravity test any item that is on a table, and dogs who will then follow up with durability testing.

Glitter
Sure! I love glitter!

What are your thoughts on a freestanding tabletop decoration instead of a tree ornament?
My surface area is a little limited, but as long as it isn't ginormous, I would be fine with a free-standing decoration if my partner wanted to go that route.  :)

Glitter: yay or nay? :glitter:
As long as it stays more or less on the ornament, go for it! I love glitter.  :D

Also, this:

Pony vs Non-pony
A mix of both would be awesome, but I really prefer pony ones! Non-pony as an extra maybe?  ;) ;

Table or tree ornament?
Actually a table one would be like 100% better! We dont have a tree in my house actually and if we put one is usally a small one.

Tree or Table Ornament?
I"m good with either one.

Glitter or No?
I'm good either way. :)

Post by: Arianna on November 28, 2015, 04:35:08 AM
Pony vs Non-pony

Pony related would be super cool! :)  It doesn't have to be pony related though.

Table or tree ornament?

I have a small table tree, but hope to someday have a larger tree.
Either or is fine with me. :)

Glitter

I love sparkles!!!  So, yes, to glitter. :) But please don't 'bomb' me with it.

Wow, I have been busy. Still not done yet. And sorry for not answering that so far. No matter what, partner, I'm sure I'll love it!


Partner, what are your feelings on a non-pony ornament?
I'd love pony-related

What are your thoughts on a freestanding tabletop decoration instead of a tree ornament?
fine. If not taking too much space.

Glitter: yay or nay?
Yay, just don't make it a glitter bomb. ;)

Non-pony ornament: Of Kasumi Sindou from Touhou Marine Benefit (

I had family in all last week and I've been sick for almost a month now, but then by Sunday I totally crashed.  Went to the doctor and I have pneumonia.  Yay me.  Been home from work all week (except Tuesday, when I thought I could make it through a day and was very mistaken) and I was finishing up my ornament yesterday.  Got into a coughing fit, grabbed for the saucepan that I've been coughing into (gross, I know), and sent the ornament to the floor.  And of COURSE it shattered.  :(  I have started something new, but I'm totally disgusted.  It had turned out so pretty and I hadn't taken pics yet because it wasn't quite done.  UGH!!!!!!!  Mine's going international, but I'll try to send it express if it's not too pricey so it still makes it for Christmas.

Today's the first day I've been able to sit up much at all, so I'll mark items as shipped shortly.

I left home today for my Christmas vacation, so I will be getting my ornament after the holidays. I would give my parents' address but I am not sure if it would help any as I don't know if the ornament has been shipped already or not. But no worries partner, I promise I will love it even if I did not get it for Christmas! I am returning home on 28th and most likely will get it then. ^^

It's okay! I'll put up my mini tree tomorrow so I can take a proper pic and post a brag. (I was looking forward to getting a big tree at IKEA this week but my fiance found it too expensive. :P I do get his point as we'll be away for Christmas but still... I love how realistic the Ikea trees look and I really wanted one now that we finally have enough room for a proper tree! Well, there's always next year...)

I finished up my new ornament to replace the one I broke (just when I think I can't get any less coordinated, I do something like break an ornament that I've been working on forever.  UGH!) and made it to the PO before they closed today.  So my box is on its way!  Hopefully it won't take too long for the box to arrive.  I actually ended up liking the replacement that I just made better than the original anyway, so I guess all's well that ends well.

Gah, out for the weekend doesn't even begin to describe it. Its been super hectic here I've really only had my ipad (which is so difficult for me to use the arena on) so I apologize for the late response.

I did receive my ornament from mkia9, thank you dear.

I will try to get some pictures soon, my ipad doesn't have a flash so the pictures always seem so dark. (my camera was stolen last year)
