Help Japan auction
After hearing about the lack of international donations coming in (compared to other recent major disasters) I went ahead and posted two offers in the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
help_japan auction. Slightly late, but if they don't sell, they don't sell. (Because I have a bad record at finishing things for obligation, both of these are finished or all-but-finished.)
1 Wish/1000 Paper Cranes

I'm offering: For approximately the past ten years, I've been folding paper cranes. I currently have nine-hundred-and-fifty-some, but I've been putting off finishing the thousand because I can't think of anything I want that I'm certain enough about to spend 10 years' worth of wish on it.
If you win this auction, you can e-mail me your wish, and I'll fold the last few dozen cranes and make your wish, then mail them to an address of your choice (you pay postage from the US) or dispose of them in some other way you specify.
Additional Info (optional): The cranes are folded out of scrap paper, mostly small foil candy wrappers, mostly in strings of 25. So they're shiny, but not really decorative, and some of them show the marks of having knocked around with me for ten years and multiple moves. Bid on this for the wish, not the craft, or you might be disappointed.
Also, I reserve the right to decline a wish that is openly malicious or otherwise ethically problematic, at my discretion.
And I make no guarantees whatsoever that any wish will come true.
Starting Bid: £30 ($50)
...I feel like I set the starting bid for that one very high, because, well, it is ten years' worth of wish, and I'm kind of conflicted about finally using it, and I really don't want it to go lowball. On the other hand, if there's anything such a wish should be spent on, it's this. So I compromised by setting the initial bid high, and if it goes for that much or more, I'll be fine with seeing it go.
1 Amigurumi Dalekling
User Name:melannen
Email address: user name - at - yahoo.com
Examples of my work: Photos & description of an earlier Dalekling here
Offering: 1 baby-blue plush crocheted Dalekling, ~6" tall. It's monochrome but heavily textured, made of polyester and fully washable with no hard or small parts.
Fandoms: Bears an uncanny resemblance to the Dalek aliens from Doctor Who (which the owners have been known to send C&Ds over ^_^)
Additional Info: This is made to my own, as-yet-unpublished pattern, and is a one-of-a-kind unique item (because I still keep tweaking the pattern.) This dalekling is already made and I will pay shipping to any US address (international shipping may vary.)
Starting Bid: £5 ($8)
And yes, I am still planning to share the dalekling pattern! It just has to be ... absolutely perfect first, and it isn't, yet. Also, I got distracted by quilting and by crocheting probably several hundred spinks for sale.
