Ok, so now that we have the castle and the dragon swap, we NEED to have a wizard swap! And Kenna and I are also just starting to read Wizardology, so there are a ton of things that I want to make her ;)
I will post ideas after I get the kiddos to bed in a bit, but I wanted to get this out there first.

We have enough for 2 groups, so I will go with that ;)
Swappers:
1 - Mom2kbeth - Wizard's Cupboards - RECEIVED
2 - Huntersmama - Bean runes - RECEIVED
3 - Korwynne
4 - Mcmrymoon - wizrds hats for the kids

I am making Wizard's cupboards for this one.
More ideas:
Parchment paper scrolls
Black silk backdrop with constellations painted on, perhaps in glow in the dark paint :)
a hearth and cauldron
an owl or a cat for a familiar
crystal ball and stand
Wizard's chambers
Wizard bendies
Witch bendies
More accessories to go in the wizard's cupboard
potion bottles
spell books
mixing bowls
etc. (I wil be putting most of these things in there anyway, but you can never have too many accessories for spells and enchantments!)
Magic wands
Athame
Broomstick/Besom
Magic carpet
Amulets to hang over the table, amulet wind chimes
Ornate magical bottles
Scrying mirror, bowl, stone
Tiny tarot cards
Tiny mortar and pestle
Tiny test tubes and rack
Runes, I remeber reading in Celebrating the Great Mother about making bean runes which is a really cool idea
Cloak for the bendy Wizard
Invisibility cloak for the bendy Wizard
Items for the kids to have while playing at the wizard table/playset
child sized wizard hat
child sized magic wand
child sized spell book in which to write spells
I'll post more as I think of them ;)

We're at 12, providing the people that I have marked in myself are going to be in. Do you want to make it one big happy group, or should we just fill the second group with 9?
PolkaDot

Woot- thanks for remembering me...
I prefer one big group- but can understand if you want 2 smaller ones.

I updated the OP with some Wizard-y ideas ;)
huntersmama

look at the Great Mother right now
i think i am claiming Bean Runes
mom2kbeth
12-27-2005, 08:24 PM
I can go either way, either one big group or 2 smaller ones. I'll wait and see if more people are wanting to sign up and if so we can keep it as two smaller groups so that no one has to make 20 of their item, lol! But if there is no more interest, or only 1-2 more people who want in, then we can make it one big happy group ;)

i just got the Wizardology book and also soem very cool wizard instruction manuals....:lol: very very cute...hwo to host your own wizard party and the Wizard craft book. I found some very very cool ideas in there
so i think i am going to make wizard pouches got carrying your wizard money, and maybe few harder to find things that every wizards apothecary needs like dragon scales, and baby unicorn horns (which they shed monthly until there adult horns grow in you know;)) and Narwhal breath, maybe some red-eye of newt
i am sooo excited about this swap:jump:
mom2kbeth
12-31-2005, 09:41 AM

Don't have the wizard party book. We had planned to have a wizardparty for Halloween this year, but one o fKenna's bes f riends ended up haveing his bday party the day before Halloween so we didn't end up doing the party.

BUT for swap 2 i was thinking of doing wizard money, and some of the harder to find apothecary items...narwhal breath, dragon heartstrings, baby unicorn horns...my question is.....does anyone mind if i do these bendie size?
they will be tiny tiny
so give me some feedback and i can get it all done....as crazy as it is, i am aiming to be done adn sending these to Bonnie next weekend...gotta save on shipping where you can;)

It all sounds good to me :) I personally prefer to have some items bendy sized for Kenna to play with with her lpaymats, etc., but also to have some items just miniature sized for her to play with as well. I think it just adds to the fantastic quality of the play :happy:

01-02-2006, 10:57 PM
I'm doing wizard gear for group 2
money and jewel pouches, apothecary items, and wands all bendie size

i will make wizard hats for our "full-sized" kids to wear. i am making them for an average sized kid-head to wear. hope that is okay with everyone!

01-03-2006, 11:25 AM
LOVEEEE all these ideas.
Maybe I will make something kid sized for group #1. Is anyone doing wizard pouched for kids? If not..then I will:D

My wizard bendies are the 4" size......just to let everyone know. I will post a picture tonight and give an exact size with the hat. :)

Can't wait to see them :)
Daisy
01-03-2006, 11:50 PM
Ok, here he is! This may end up being mine, as his hat is back a bit too far (more gnome-ish). It is difficult to get a picture that truly shows how cute he is.....His robe is blue with glitter, his wand has a blue stone incased in silver. Does everyone like the wand? The only way I know to make it 'work' is to put it permanently in his hand, unless I leave the stem part just the silver wire, which could then be removed from his hand. Once the beads are on the wire stem, it is permanent. Any opinions on the wand?
PS, he is about 5.5 inches with the hat.....I am thinking more like 6 inches when I put the hat on a bit more 'upright'. Oh, and I realized I forgot the star on his hat, which I put on after the pictures! ;)

I just got James down.........well, he kinda just crashed on his own after 'helping' me take pictures of 'Santa' (he thinks my wizard is Santa). I have to learn to go to bed when he crashes, but I tend to stay up way later than I should!
Sending sleepy vibes your way for Holden! ;)

Glad i am not the only one with a boy who suddenly wakes up at midnight.
(if i may say in my defence...he didnt; watch scooby doo with me:p )
elfmama
01-04-2006, 12:30 AM
I think I'll try wee size rune sets for group 2, if I can find a pen with a fine enough tip. I was thinking of doing them on lentils, I'll have to see how it goes. If that won't work I'll do kids size bean runes in a pouch. Heck maybe I'll do both. :P

WOW!! I love your "Santa"!! He is just gorgeous and his wand is just amazing!!
I think it is just fine to make it permanent. Otherwise, it may get lost and it is too beautiful to loose!
Great job!

Holden woke up to nurse at just before 11. I nursed him and thought he was sleeping and left the room as usual, but he got up and followed me. He wanted to watch the Wiggles, lol. I did let him watch, since I was up and cutting out pouches for the St Partick's Day tiny things swap ;)

They are all a bit different, one is gray, one has 2 doors opening from the center, some open from the left and some from the right, some have an ornamental piece on top and other don't.

01-06-2006, 11:35 PM
Our wizards need workshops. Does anyone in either swap here paint? I am envisioning a rectanglular shaped piece of cardboard or posterboard, nature table sized, not huge, creased down the center, to make it into a corner with 2 walls. Painted on one wall would be a fireplace and hearth and wall; on the other side would be the wall and a window looking outside. Then we could use all the accessories to create the wizard's workshop. I wish I could paint because I would make them for swap #2, but I am the worst spatial person ever, which makes ti really hard for me to paint/draw anything realistically or with any depth, lol!
Gronilot
01-07-2006, 01:17 AM
I can't paint at all! am still pondering.... have some ideas, but they fit the apothocary one better. I will let you know soon as I figure it out.

I'm in enough swaps I'm scared I'm going to fall behind, lol.

i'm only in one swap though. do you want for ds or dd? after i get a final count i'll see what i have left over and maybe we can work something out so you can get one of each if you want!

no clue.. is the purple a deep purple, or is it lavender? If it's a deeper purple, it seems it'd be fairly gender neutral.. otherwise maybe the blue?

:wah!!
I have been looking allover for those. I had gotten some somewhere before and cannot find them again. I want them for the wizard's apocathary swap. Any chance you'll be going back there in the bear future? I can pp you if you are and wouldn't mind picking some up for me, lol! We don't have any Hobby Lobby stores around here; I don't think there are any at all in CT :(
ETA - I am talking about the teeny glass jars, lol!

Yup, I have to go back before Saturday because I thought that I bought 3 bags and I only got 2. And I think I convinced myself to buy a couple of the slightly bigger glass jars, too. :smirk:
There are 4 in pack, how many do you need?

I think I used these for the potion bottles for the Valentines #2 Swap. Are they less than an inch high with cork stoppers? I found mine at Micheals in the scrapbookng section. They look like these(The very first bottle listed):http://www.stampington.com/html/glass_bottles.html

Help!! Why can't I get motivated to finish this swap? I have had the books and glass bottles bought for months yet cannot get motivated to make nice labels for them. that is all I have to do and I am done yet I just don't want to . I want to make dragons and Mother Earths and other stuff.
:help: What do you guys do when you need motivation to finish something that just is not very exciting or inspired?
BTW, I am in group 2 so Group 1 ladies, no fear for you.

grab the hugest bar of chocolate you can find (or whatever "must have" treat you can find) throw in your favorite music and grab a glass of wine (or beer)
the labels will be smeared and misspelled - but they'll be done in no time!!!!
(thank goodness i'm in group 1 - :LOL:)

Thanks!! Ya'll are just funny today!! Chocolate, I have had today and you are so right, I am feeling a bit more motivated!!! Needed the chocolate to deal with sick children and a teenager pulling teenage hijinks (like going out and riding his bike or playing basketball after midnight on a school night!!!) could be sooo much worse but he is not very sneaky and gets caught every time. Angels and fairies are watching out for him (and me!!). I had lots of chocolate!!! :(
Off to do the labels!!!
thanks for being my cheerleaders. Yup, I would have had some of dh's homebrew if not for being preggo!!
