ATASDA members have joined in eclectic groups of fibre artists interested in exploring and sharing their creativity in a group swap.

Participants crate a charm, small ornament, tiny talisman or a small object suitable to hang grouped, from a chain, neckpiece, bracelet, candlesticks, wind catcher... The charm's foundation will travel between nine artisans who in turn will add a charm. The set of nine charms will be returned to the owner/artist by 1 August 2008 for final completion, then exhibited at Out of the Blue, Palm House Gallery.
