Description:

I love making felties, or stuffies made from felt, so I thought I would start a series of themed swaps.

This first swap is zoo animals e.g. elephants, monkeys, lions, giraffes, pandas.

You will make one felt stuffie for one swap partner.

So your swap partner has an idea what to make you, please list in the comments section a minimum of two zoo animals you would like to receive. Or, if you want a surprise, then you can request that instead. Please do not be too specific in your choices - monkey is fine, but Liontailed Macaque is not.

You can embellish your stuffies if you want to - e.g. buttons, ribbon - but they must be predominately made of felt. Please make something you would like to receive yourself. You may also want to check your partners profile for favourite colours.

EDIT: I do not want to set a size that swappers feel they have to stick to, as it really depends on the animal you are making. However, as a guideline I would say a 6" minimum. This could be width or height, depending on the animal you make.

The rules:

International

At least 5 rated swaps – online ratings do not count

A rating of 4.75 or above

No no-sends in the last month - if you feel you have been unfairly rated, please PM me.

I will read all profiles before assigning.

My other feltie swaps:

Reptiles

Birds

Sea Life

Insects

Aliens/Monsters

Rodents/Small Animals

Farm Animals

I would love to receive a camel or polar bear, but anything will be wonderful!

littlewanda 11/ 4/2007 #

I would love an elephant, giraffe or monkey :)

kiki 11/ 5/2007 #

But I wanted a liontailed macaque!!! Hehehe. I'm really excited about these...I'm JUST getting started on stuffies, so hopefully by the send date, I'll have the technique down!

I'm gonna go with littlewanda on this one...just in a different order...I'd love a monkey, elephant, or giraffe.
OR ANYthing that you'd like to make! :D

ROSSiROSSi 11/ 5/2007 #

Sadly, I have no idea how to make these:( Can someone make me a lion? Pretty pleaseeee? I'll send you something you'd like:)

crayolaskiies 11/10/2007 #

felt only? other fabric isn't allowed?

littlewanda 11/11/2007 #

Sorry, these are felt stuffies only. You can use buttons, ribbons, sequins and so on to embellish if needed.

enakitty 11/14/2007 #

how fun!!

i would love a giraffe or a lion or a tiger....but will be glad to receive any lovingly handmade stuffie :)

earthtobella 11/21/2007 #

Is there a size guideline for this swap? I don't want to make anything too small...

I would love to receive a panda, elephant, or leopard. :)

I really do not want to set a size minimum that swappers feel they have to stick to, as it really depends on the animal you are making. However, as a guideline only I would say a 6" minimum. This could be width or height, depending on the animal you make.

I'd like a surprise.

Lindy 11/23/2007 #

I would also like a surprise.

sarahsarah 11/27/2007 #

I'd like a camel, a penguin, a gorilla, a llama, a panda, or a koala. I wouldn't be disappointed in anything, though. :)

Soozy 11/28/2007 #

Woohoo I finally have enough ratings to join :D

I would like: an elephant, a monkey, a giraffe, a penguin or a llama please.

Kelli 12/ 2/2007 #

I don't know what I'd like... maybe an elephant.... or a monkey.... is a squirrel a zoo animal? I LOVE squirrels at the moment! A peacock would be nice OH or a hippo!!! I'd love a hippo! What I'd really like is a zoo animal in a colour that animal usually isn't in, like a red hippo or a pink squirrel but I'm open to suggestions! I don't know how the hell I'm going to make a zoo animal myself yet though (laughs)

HeideC 12/ 3/2007 #

Is it required to be the animal our partner chooses?

littlewanda 12/ 3/2007 #

Hi Heide

Hopefully I have read your question right. Ideally, you should make one of the animals your partner has said they would like. However, if you find you have a real problem making a particular animal I am sure your partner will not mind suggesting a few more.

Soozy 12/12/2007 #

Oooh I like Kelli's idea of making the animal in a different colour. I'd love that too if possible. But I'll love anything I'm sent :)

Annabelle 01/ 3/2008 #

I would really like a monkey! A penguin would be my second choice. If you send me some other cute little animal I will probably love it to.

bontkwagga 01/ 5/2008 #

I would love: zebra ~ penguin ~ tiger ~ leopard ~ panda

mickeymoosies 01/ 5/2008 #

I would like any animal. I like the varied colors rather than true color.

fleasha 01/ 5/2008 #

whew! just in time. I hadn't seen this swap until I saw it on someone else's profile (thanks soozy - I joined your brownie swap!!). Gah, I made a resolution to not join any swaps early in the year... oh well... five days in - bust!

anyway, any zoo animal is fine with me - I like surprises and I don't care if they are true to life (color or otherwise). My thing is hand-making something for someone else - thats where I get my joy... however corny that sounds, its true. :P

ViridianMuse 01/ 8/2008 #

I'm game for a surprise :)

3YorkieMom 01/12/2008 #

Giraffe, penguin, panda. I just joined the Chines year swap and found out 1962 is the year of the tiger, would love a tiger. PM me if you need any other suggestions.

littlewanda 01/13/2008 #

Hi everyone

I've set up a flickr group for these swaps called It's A Feltie Life, which I hope you will all join!

I should now have sent everyone an invite, either by your flickr account if you have one or your email address. If I haven't, you have my permission to beat me with a large stick!

fleasha 01/21/2008 #

I added a picture to the gallery and to the flickr group.

I like Mike. :) thanks Earthtobella!
