Round 2 is finally here! Please be sure to read the TP rules for swaps - My Little Pony Trading Post : Forum for My Little Pony Collectors : Swaps!
For clothing you can sew or sculpt. Very few characters actually have like a body suit that can be painted on. Please do not seal with modge podge. It leaves a sticky feeling even after it dries and is not good for the long term life of the custom. So much sticks to it like dust, etc. Remember to work on the custom at your own pace. Please don't wait until the last minute to get started, it will only hurt you and your work. Try to get started as soon as possible on it that way you can work at your own speed and do the best job that you know that you can do.
:cheshire: Important Dates:
Sign Ups & Reference check - Feb 15 - Feb 28
Sign Ups Closed on Feb 24 (if you are interested in joining Round 3, please post)
Partners Assigned - Feb 28/March 1
Work on Customs (if finished & have shipped out, may sign up for 2nd's, etc.)
International Shipping Deadline - April 25
Domestic Shipping Deadline - May 1
Swap should be wrapped up by Mid to late May. After that, feedback will be given. Please remember to provide feedback when you receive from your partner. You will be given a negative if you have not finished by this time and have failed to communicate that something has gone wrong. Communication is very important.
Please order supplies such as hair as early as you've been assigned your custom. There are things that you can still work on while waiting for the hair to arrive.

Even cats. Please put when you sign up if you want a villian or senshi. I know there are some that love the villians while many love the senshi. Also, please put what kind that you'd like to receive in return. If you've got a fave senshi or a few favs, list them. Give your swap partner a variety to work with.
