    OK,
    post what you do, what you are looking for and if you trade.
    PLEASE no pics, just tell us to look in your gallery (which is a button on EVERY post)
    Also, order deadlines for shipping, custom pieces, etc.

    I'll get back and see if I have print worthy photos this year.

    I know Tree is looking for pottery...

    I'm wanting some heady batik t-shirts. I can trade glass art and/or patchwork. Let me know if anyone does batiks - I've been on the lookout for a while! :) Great idea drumminmama! :D

    I am looking for someone to knit up a electric/royal blue scarf. I do very intricate bead work, and also sew.

    i do soaps, candles, and lip balms right now. i also sew, knit, and crochet.

    i can knit your scarf up for you if you want to set up a trade, merrijayne.

    i'm looking for unique stuff that's maybe small enough to stick into gift baskets.

    i'm looking for pottery and stained glass, possibly t-shirts for the hubby.
    i do mainly beadweaving/crochet check mystuff at www.enchantedtree.com i'm trying to clearance everything out right now, so if you see something you like feel free to make an offer. i want to get rid of everything and start fresh next year!

    Hubby is a glass artist www.tiemeyerglass.com he's does mainly wholesale, but has been putting stuff up on ebay and i think still has a few items for sale on his page. He's been making holiday ornaments for sale and has a few at www.sbauction.com

    Hummblebee, gorgeous stuff!! i enjoyed your site! This isn't Batik, but looks similar. The artist is a super sweet mama and her work is amazing. Check her out! http://www.yeahyeah31.com/

    There was a really great batik artist at Floydfest, but now i can't find her site. i'll post it if i can find it!

    Eric Maiorana does some nice, simple production batik pieces
    http://peaktopeakbatiks.com/products.php?cid=1&subc=7

    I have four or five shirts that I know are his, and one I suspect is either an early one of his or a students' and the dye holds very well, although you will get that mottled effect even hand washing.

    I think his work is DEFINITELY a mini factory, but his quality is far better than say, HI-HO, who did Keller Williams' shirts for years. They bled dye hard and fast for a dozen washes, leaving a closer to pastel shirt than the close to jewel tone one bought.

    do treat it like a lot dye the first coouple washes. I don't notice resettle of dye on the batiks, but I recall dye in the water when I 'd wash.
    (since the majority of my wardrobe was dyes, I was always over careful.)
