Craft Mafia Swap #2 Wrap Up

Hooray for Etsy and the Craft Mafia! We had another successful swap this past weekend, mostly because of all of the great people that showed up and all of the amazing swag they brought with them. We were able to collaborate with Etsy for this time around, so the event was held at their place in Brooklyn on Gold St. They have the most amazing space, with so much room to take on just about any project they desire.

Out of all the amazing items brought in, I actually only took away a few pieces of trim and a button maker… I already have way too much fabric at home. My favorite item at the swap… a small baby doll (that I think was a left over from the last swap), that was quickly transformed into none other than… the rock legend himself, Dee Snider thanks to a glue gun and fake hair that was also brought in.

For some odd reason, we also were able to procure a ratty wig, fake glasses, berets and small cat head brooches. Seemingly unrelated, these amazing little items, when combined, transformed Erika into the revolutionary Che Guevara.
