Hey! It's The 2016 Melting Pot Pendant Exchange!! Sign up here!

Here's the two I'll be sending out first thing in the morning. Thanks Doug, I threw something in for you as well.

Looking great guys, I've been getting boxes in all week!

If you haven't sent your pendants out please do so TODAY. I'd really like to get to sorting them next weekend, so it's important that they go out today.

Please message me if you know you won't make it, if it's possible we'll work something out.

Thanks everyone!

-Doug

doug! my pendy just came back in the mail to me. the freaking postage fell off and it was returned. im travelling today and will try and find a PO on the road. if not will 100% have it out in tomorrows mail. I hope thats ok.

mine are going out tomorrow if thats alright, didnt get a chance to stop at the post office today.

I'll have some aliens headed out tomorrow. Monday at the latest. Had some personal crap come up.

Sometimes stuff happens... get them in the mail ASAP. I really want to sort them next weekend, it's unfair to make those who got in on time wait - but right now I have less than half in, so I expect to start seeing them come in early next week!

Been meaning to post this pic but keep forgetting. These are the three I sent. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d0fc4bf254.jpg

Hey sorry guys, I just sent mine.

All good.

Everyone, if you have not mailed your pendants in you have to PM me and let me know - if we can arrange to get them here this week you may have a second chance, but Monday is going to be the last call! I only have about half the pendants in so far, I really hope to see the rest show up in the next few days.

Again, I know stuff happens, if you have not shipped your pendants yet but they are made, please PM me.

Forgot to post pics, but I dropped them at the PO Friday, so you should get them today.

Sorry, i was bumming this weekend. Shipping out today. Estimated arrival of Wednesday! Thanks again for setting it up Doug!

They're really rolling in now! Got 8 boxes yesterday, 1 today, expect at least 4 or 5 tomorrow...

If they all show up by Friday I should be able to sort over the weekend, and pack them up and get them out next week.

I'll take pics as I go, by my count I have 58 pendants in hand right now in 18 packages, I'm gonna need a bigger table :P

Sorry I haven't updated everyone, had a busy weekend. I didn't make it to the shop today, I'm sure I'll be there tomorrow, and I'll sit down and start sorting.
I know a few people didn't send anything in and made no effort to contact me... but the rest of you have sent in some amazing glass, and this is gonna take a day or two to sort out. I should be able to get it all sorted and shipped this week barring any unforeseen problems.

Thanks everyone who got their pendants to me on time (or close enough) and thank you for your patience, you should see something soon :)

-Doug

I need to send you money for shipping whatever back my way, I forgot to stick it in the box. Let me know how to do that. :)

I also forgot. I could paypal you the shipping. Thanks again!

Awesome sauce sad people flaked, feel free to use one of my pendants as a replacement person! And I'll shoot you like 20$ through PayPal as well to help with shipping and all your hard work =)

You can paypal $7 to doug@greymatter.org.

Unlmtdglass, the nice thing about this format for the exchange is no one gets burned. If they didn't send in a pendant they don'tg et one in return, so we still have a 1:1 exchange (as long as we have >6 people, which we do)

We always have a couple who forget or blow it off... it happens, it's usually not a problem, but it is disappointing.

Cool will do bud thanks again your awesome

Thanks!

One more day... they're all packed in their shipping boxes and well padded. I have to get more labels to print and get to the post office in the morning and they'll all be going out!

Sorting, packing, and shipping these is a lot of work and I have about a million times more gratitude and respect for Glassdoc (Marina) for all the times she's done this - but once the system is in place it went smooth.

I have to say some of you guys really outdid yourselves on this one, and for the new guys worried about perfection and their place in the game... don't. There's a sampling here of people with maybe a year (or less) to 20+ years, and in many cases I wouldn't be able to tell just by looking when you started. The whole point of this exchange is to inspire and motivate. Mostly we (a few people helped me grade the work sent in) tried to be fair in sorting the work, but it's all so subjective. Nothing was broken, and there was only one thing that may or may not be a pendant depending on how you look at it, I really hope everyone loves what they get back and wear them with pride! Maybe you get back something that wasn't as skillfully executed as what you sent in, keep in mind we all start somewhere and some of these artists will be a big hit in a year or three or ten, and you'll have something from when they were starting out (oh you hipster, you). Maybe you get something that looks way beyond what you sent it and are worried everyone showed you up - don't worry - they didn't, and now you have a treasure that will inspire you to give back in the same way next year and for years to come.

On the off chance that there's any problems (got back your own work, something broke in shipping), please PM me as soon as possible and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, I will update this once more when the boxes are in the care of the post office, then we can all post pics of what we get as they come in!

-Doug

Nice thanks for putting in the hard work Doug, love these exchanges

AAAAND they're OFF!

Shipped 22 boxes, out of 28 (I think?) participants. There were a few locals, and a few people who share an address so less boxes, yay!

They should start showing up around Saturday, but I suspect the bulk will turn up Monday/Tuesday. When I start seeing pics posted I'll post pics of my scores :)

Thanks again everyone - I'm gonna go play video games now

-Doug

Thanks for doing this. I know how much of a hassle it can be.

Thank you Doug!

Awesome, I can't wait. Thanks for the effort.

Super excited!

PS- I hope I'm not the guy with the "may or may not" pendant. I put in a window hanger that was meant/addressed for you and to hang in your shop if you liked it! ;) lol
