<p><strong>There are two approaches to the pin swap.</strong></p>
<p>Option 1.Bring a lot of pins and trade with anyone.</p>
<p>Option 2. Bring a limited quantity of top quality pins and trade pins carefully. (10-50 pins.)</p>

<p><strong>I am a little tired and disappointed with Option 1.</strong> All too often the quality suffers when the person brings a large quantity. (of course, there are exceptions.) When people make a lot of pins all too often there is too much <em>metaphoric glue and feathers</em> that do not reflect the quality or voice of the person's work. In addition, they have so many pins that they don't take the time to get to know a person in exchange. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Option 2. Bring a limited quantity of top quality pins that reflect your voice. </strong> In this case, do not carry around your entire supply in a highly visible manner. Be a little more discreet, engage in conversation, meet people and look at what people have before trading.<br/><br/>I still have pins from pin swaps that I have kept and worn for years and years. Other pins hit the trash before leaving the hotel....and I feel bad about that. Waste and overabundance that isn't worth cherishing adding to the landfill does not seem right. <br/><br/><br/></p> Don't worry about the pin swa…tag:crafthaus.ning.com,2017-05-18:2104389:Comment:5678832017-05-18T13:02:58.616ZBrigitte Martinhttp://crafthaus.ning.com/profile/brigittemartin
Don't worry about the pin swap. Everybody exchanges pins with everybody. It's fun and easy.
