Sounds like you are offering novelty or feature prints for
Tone-on-Tones (ToTs), small prints, marbles etc.

Wish I was closer but the postage to OZ would be prohibitive
LOL

Good Luck with your swapping!

: Sorry Polly...
: What I mean by topical are such as prints of baseballs,
soccer balls,
: combined sports balls. Allovers of fish, eagles and
mountains. Even
: have some really cute, but not for me, juvenile things. A
map of the
: US, surrounded by the states and their capitols. A panel
with school
: buses and crayon ABC's. Some really nice Daisy Kingdom
things, tossed
: Noah's Ark animals and such. That's what I mean by
topical. Mybe it's
: better known as a focus print.
:
: I can do pictures, but I'd have to know what someone might
want to see
: before they trade, and I'd have to email to whoever asks,
as I don't
: have a web page.
:
: By traditional, I mean anything short of a huge print -
not very useful
: in the FQ I'm asking for trade - and I don't care for
really bright
: colors (Kaffe Fasset comes to mind, and I know there are
others who
: embrace such brilliant colors). Blenders, small prints,
and I do love
: marbles, florals, and who doesn't love batiks? Actually,
my yellows to
: golds shelf is a little bit bare. :-) HTH

Traditional?

Just hoping to help
