I've traded...Oh yes!!! I LOVE a good trade!!!<br />I've traded my jewelry for glass beads from another artist at a show. This Spring, I had a piece I'd made with one of her beads and she went NUTS over it, so I traded it to her for MORE beads, and a WONDERFUL pendant for myself!!

I'm so glad to be "bringing it back". <br /><br />It's so wonderful to trade things created from the heart with other creative people. There is such a deep connection and love exchanged in artworks.<br /><br />I do agree that if you are interested in a trade talk back and forth a bit and don't be offended if someone can't trade ;)<br /><br />I'm so glad to have made friends with Staci and to connect with our art!<br /><br />xo GeneaThird Eye Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987757940050950312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-26350790932524161922011-10-27T12:27:41.566-04:002011-10-27T12:27:41.566-04:00It is great to trade.

Sort of a pay it forward. And the funny thing is that I almost always hear back that this is exactly what they needed at the moment I sent it. How is that for serendipity?<br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-88677509493298904812011-10-27T11:41:28.284-04:002011-10-27T11:41:28.284-04:00I love to trade!

You trade eggs because you have them and your neighbor doesn't, and you receive things (even gifts of service) you could have never made yourself. It's perfect, and I love how this practice honors the special contributions that each person is able to make.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745889026665681137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-4119491545939044802011-10-27T10:57:59.625-04:002011-10-27T10:57:59.625-04:00I'm excited about it!

I figure since it hasn't sold, it must be hers. I'm asking, however, that she send an autographed (no, she's not famous) print of some artwork she's doing for a music video that her and her husband are working on. Her artwork is just adorable. I can do this because she an I are really close. I would recommend that you not do this to someone you don't know that well... =)Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129979013427994643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-46660541381340178492011-10-27T07:37:15.858-04:002011-10-27T07:37:15.858-04:00My best friend sells a popular brand of cosmetics,...My best friend sells a popular brand of cosmetics, and I have swapped a necklace she wanted for moisturizer that she sells. <br /><br />That's been a while ago.
