The Made to Exchange opportunity is closed for now … we’ve just completed our first exchange (February 2012)
Dappled Sky will be looking for friendly folks who would like to be part in our next exchange of handmade gifts or artwork. So, if this idea tickles your fancy then please read on and email Dappled Sky with your details and we’ll keep them on file until the dates for the next exchange is announced.
You don’t have to be a professional maker. It could be a photograph that you send to someone, a drawing, some knitting, sewing, paper, wood, wire, painting, anything you think would be lovely and wouldn’t cost you too much to send to someone.
It’s simple to register in Made to Exchange. You just email the following information to dappledsky@btinternet.com … and then when we start our next exchange we will send you instructions about what is happening and when.
“Send Your Seven Secrets” …
- My name is …

A lovely idea, I am looking around for random materials to make into something new!
That’s great Alison

What a wonderful idea. One of our artists is a knitter. Perhaps she’ll be interested. We’ll get back to you to let you know if she is. Meanwhile, Happy New Year!
Thanks , hope your knitter friend joins in … the more the merrier. I’ve shared your bookmarks project on my facebook page – Good luck with it. My envelope is going in the post on the morning
very excited ( it’ll be like Christmas all over again!)
