Description:

I love Ai Yazawa. She's a mangaka (she writes japanese comics called "manga"). Some of the most well known of her manga are the series Nana, Gokinjo Monogatari and Paradise Kiss, and also Princess Ai with Courtney Love! Nana has been made into a movie too! She has a vivid imagination and was destined to be a clothes designer. Her caracters are cute, fashionable, but humane and loveable. The caracters are involved in making clothes, doing music and learning how to love. What better subjects for a swap ? In Gokinjo, the caracters are art students who decide to make objects to sell at the flea market... why dont we try to make lovely objects for our swap partners ?

If you are a fan, or just curious of her world... come join my swap !

So... here's the plan. I'm more into DIY then just buying things to send. So I'd really love to see you put your hearts into something. It can be a Sudo-saurus stuffie, a clay model of Aikindo, hair bands or earrings, hand-drawn notecards or computerized address labels, well anything you'd like to share. If you have a favorite series or caracter, you can mention it below... it might help your partner to make just the right package for you!

So let's say a minimum of 4 objects (or set of objects, as in a couple of hair barettes, or a few sheets of home-printed stationary and envies...), at least two hand-made, but it can be all four if you're really into it ! I'm also leaving a good amount of time, so you can all find time to craft. No money limit... crafting is priceless !

I'd really like everyone to recieve a beautiful and fully inspired package, so I'll be here to answer all your questions. I'm also going to check everyone's profil and swap history. I'm not into Gestopo like methods, but I want this swap to be just perfect, and I will ban bad swappers ! Newbies should have swap references, if any problems occur I will contact you by email and/or Swap-Bot.

This swap is International ! One partner !

What a lovley idea, I simply love Nana and Gokinjo Monogatari, as well as crafting itself, so I think I'm in :)

I'm really happy to see people join my swap. It's my first, and I was afraid Ai Yazawa would not be well known... I'm glad to get motivated people for this swap. I gave really plenty of time because I can't seem to do more then one really big swap at a time... And I want everything to be beautiful when I do send !

...I love Ai and all her mangas but i just hate when everything goes wrong...For example in Nana...The thing with ren later in the manga...You who have read it know what I'm talking about...So i wont tell anything about that to make the other readers unhappy...They should read what happens themselves...-- I'm really sad...Paradise kiss ends kinda sad to...I hate it--...I just dont get why everything screws up in the end...
