Looking to trade a few small original paintings...

[OriginalYouth]

I have a few funky paintings in my Etsy shop that don't fit in with the style I'm working in, so I'd like to swap them away to a good home. I'm trying to restyle the shop to give it a cohesive them. I'm most interested in swapping for other wall art pieces (on canvas, board, etc.) I can hang in my home to cherish. I don't really need more fabric or supplies, but would be willing to swap for other crafted items.

Does anyone have any interest in either of these pieces? I figured I'd ask here first, and ask elsewhere if no one wanted them.

If no one cares for them, no worries! I just thought I'd ask. :)

And there are actually a few more up for swap too:

I love the fashionista!

[katilady]

I wouldn't want you to create out of your style or comfort zone, but if you wanted to work with your regular (awesome textureiffic layered) style in a theme like Vintage Travel with the Eiffel Tower worked in, I'd totally be game! I just want to hunt some themes we can hang in the house with the kiddos... :)

Or something in a monochromatic (all turquoisey-aqua-greeny-oceany) theme, with Frida or the Eiffel Tower worked in, that would be awesome too! I'd hang that in my bedroom.

[katilady]

great! let me see what i can come up with! what size are you looking for? right now i am super into 8x8 canvas's but if that's too big/small let me know. :)

eta: i'd never send you one of my naughtier pieces, having kiddos and all! :D

[OriginalYouth]

Kati, 8x8 sounds divine! You rock! Which one(s) do you want?

[katilady]

i really like the flower!

[OriginalYouth]

Awesome, it's yours! I'll save it for you; I like it too. I'm pretty sure it's 8x8 also!

Yes: it is!

Hey, and guess what? You can 'buy' it from me on Etsy (purchase, but don't pay), and when yours is done for me, I can do the same for you. :) And we both get feedback! Is that okay?

[katilady]

sure. do you want me to 'buy' it now? or wait till mine is done?

[OriginalYouth]

Go ahead and buy it, I trust you. If you don't end up wanting to swap, I can just re-list it.

Do it quick, I dropped the price to CHEAP just now, just so I dont' get charged lots of fees for a trade. ((((sneaky))))

[katilady]

done! i just ordered some canvas's from dick blick. i'll start on yours as soon as they arrive!

[katilady]

hey sarah. my dick blick order came in AND i found the perfect eiffel tower pic so i am gonna get started in the next day or so. just wanted to give you an update. :)

Genius! Let's plan to swap out in a few weeks after the kookoobonkers holiday mail dies down. :)

[katilady]

sounds fab.

[katilady]

hey sarah i've finished. i meant for it to be more turquoise-y but it's been 'aged' to death, lol. i hope it will work for you in either of your spaces. i am still down for sending after the holidays, let me know when you are ready and i'll put it in my etsy shop.

Kati, it's outstanding! I'm so excited, thank you!

[katilady]

[katilady]

i'm ready to send when you are!

[OriginalYouth]

i'm ready to send when you are!

Great timing! I actually just pulled out an envie today for the piece, and touched up the black paint on the sides. I'll mail it tomorrow!
