There is a link someplace that tells you how to make a little baby fairy. Did you see that yet? You just buy the skin tone sculpey and they are super cute.

It's quite cute. You could make the wings from the fancy cellophane that people wrap Easter baskets with.

For this type of swap if you send in 10 items you will get 10 back. You don't have to send in 10 babies either - you can send in 5 babies and 5 of something else or whatever number you are chosing to send.

there are 19 on the list, 13 mama's with 6 doubles.
I just ordered some kanji rubber stamps, I plan on doing sets of 6 or 8, but not sure if I should use sculpty or some other clay, sculpty is $$$. The stones will be 1x1 I am figuring, but will know more when my stamps come in

Stacey -- Sculpey is expensive (though less expensive than Fimo!) but it actually goes quite a long way. If you saw the clay mats I did for the peaceful winter swap (the iceberg with the penguin and seal) or the fun in the sun swap (the sandy beaches), they each took 1/4 - 1/3 bar of Sculpey for each color. If you are doing 1x1" stepping stones, you should be able to get quite a bunch out of a single bar of sculpey. And if you just buy white then you can always paint them whatever color you want to afterwards.

Stampign on Sculpey is on my list of things to try for an upcoming swap. Just haven't figured out which swap yet, lol!

I use Fimo and it really does go a long way

I am making fairy and wizard money for the kids pouches in the wizard swap using Fimo with a stamped image. I am still debating on what to use to make it look more aged...thinking those powders you just brush on...maybe..lol.

Ok here is the babies so far.Yes it looks messy,but they just dried and now I have to find the brown paint for the hair and still do not know how to do the eyes yet.So I will see.I will start making the blankets to swadle them in and they will look cute.I promise.LOL
