Description:
*** Edit: Seeing as only one person as sent the day before the due date, I figured people needed more time. So, I extended the deadline. *** For this swap, make your partner a shrine of their chosen topic, though "shrine" can be taken loosely. It can be a matchbox shrine, a flat shrine, a shrine in a box, a shrine in a bag, a doll of their deity (if they chose a deity), or anything else that sparks your creativity that you think would help your partner connect to their topic. In the comments below list what you want your shrine of (a God, a Goddess, an animal, an element, a season, nature, a holy day, a symbol, a word, etc.). You may also go into a little detail to give your partner ideas (such as a particular aspect of a multi-aspect deity that you connect best with, colors you associate with your topic, etc.) Don't get too specific, though, so your partner has room for creativity. I've giving a long crafting time so people have time to research the topic if they aren't as familiar with it. And to give people time to make the shrines really cool!

What a great swap! I cant wait to participate :) I would like a Fairy Shrine :)

I'd like my shrine to be of Odin, any of his many faces. If you come across a need to choose a color, I tend to associate blue with him. It's not a strong association, so don't feel tied to that color.

Excellent swap, orcasong! Thanks so much for hosting.

A Goddess Shrine...if you need a specific one Hekate(but not necessary) Colors of red, black, silver, and/or purple would be awesome, but not required.

This is such a great swap! I can't wait to see what I'm going to make.

I would like a shrine for Yemaya (Eomanja, Yemanja, Afro-Brazilian goddess of water). Thank you!

I too would like a shrine to Yemaya. The colors could be various shade of blues and light greens (think of the ocean). Shells could be a great addition, especially cowrie shells.

Thank you!

What a great swap!! I would like a shrine to either the Greenman/Horned God or the Goddess in her Crone aspect like Hekate, the Morrigain, Sekmet, ect.

Thanks

I'm pretty open, but some ideas for my shrine would be a general goddess, tao, buddha, swirls (or those hands with swirls on them), the tree of life, or odin.

I so wanted to do this swap and I already had a shine in mind. But sadly, I have to drop out for now. My idea involved pictures and I thought we'd have ink in our printer by now, but it look like it'll be a while :(

Seeing as only one person as sent, I figured people needed more time. So I extended the deadline.
