Description:

Because I'm a great Harry Potter Fan and living on magic paths in usual, I got thought of a wand swap.

Because of the shipping costs it's Europe only, because sending into the USA is quite expensive.

(edit: I just got informated that there's a USA only wand swap yet, so if there are some international swappers out there who want to join, who are not living in the USA, please message me. Maybe we can think of making it international except the USA (because they have such a swap already), please tell me your thoughts about that in the discussion place below!)

For your wands - get creative. It doesn't matter if you just pick up a woodstick or buy it in a shop to pretty them up or if you purchase a wand. That's up to you. But please no great pink glittering things out of plastic you get for 1รขโ€šยฌ or less for children's costuming.

Here you get some ideas of the Harry Potter wands:

To pretty your wands up, you can shave out, glue things on, embellish and add extras to it, ... whatever you like.

So decorate it (if you like to) add a special magical something on the handle end a crystal a large marble or orb a small figure of a dragon or fairy.

You can paint it as well and add fibers, wire, beads, whatever you want to do to make it magical and special for your partner!

In the comment section please list your favorite colors and what your idea or vision of the perfect wand would be what would you like it to look like.

For the messurements: Please size your wand between 12 to 18 inches (= ca. 30 - 45 cm).

What else to think of:

  • I've got not the money to angel the ones who didn't recieve anything, so I will ban everyone in this Swap, who has got a rating under 4.5
  • No "no sends" within the last 3 months (If your case is special and there's a good explanation for it - mail me and we will see what to do)
  • Newbies - feel free to participate, but please make sure that you'll have a fully filled profile!
  • Please rate your partner when you got something. And please be fair and rate high when you got a wand in a good condition even when it's not your favour.

@Sally - How I've already said, I already got informed that there is a US swap like that yet. But because of this one being an European one, I think it doesn't matter, or what do you say?

Sally 08/14/2007 #

I think its great you created this swap for us. Too many great swaps are US only

Hi there Is it just one wand I'll make and send?

LadySarah 08/18/2007 #

@fru lorentsen - indeed, one wand for one partner. :)

@Sally - thanks ;) think so too...

Aw! I missed the US-only swap! Yesterday someone pointed me to this site, which has awesome instructions for making wands: http://www.dadcando.com/defaultMAKING.asp?project=Wizardswands&catagory=WizardryandMagic

what about joining in here? ,) @mortaine

LadySarah 08/25/2007 #

PS. Thanks for this awesome link! This idea is really great... can't wait to try

mortaine 08/25/2007 #

Thank you, LadySarah, for making this open to me as well. For whomever gets me as a swap partner, please PM me or LadySarah if the postage costs ends up being too high; I'd rather you angel a swap in the EU than bankrupt yourself!

Just sent the wand off! I stupidly forgot to take a photo of it before sending, though, so when you receive it, Emmuzka, can you take a picture and post it to the group? (If you have a digital camera, that is....)
