The rules are to send beads in the 10 colors (all of the colors, or just a few, doesn't matter.)
There is NO blog hop for this swap.
There is NO requirement to make anything.
Strictly a bead swap
My partner Toltec Jewels and I agreed to swap all of the colors. I think it’s exciting to swap from the Pacific North Western Coast of Canada to the Eastern Southern Coast of Florida! Here is what I’m sending. I had trouble with a couple of colors, but tried my best. Hope she’ll be pleased with my selection of gemstone, glass and handcrafted polymer clay.
Tangerine Tango
(carnelian, glass, faux amber, amber, handmade polymer clay cabochon)
Solar Power
(citrine, horn, aragonite, handmade resin cabochons, polymer clay sand dollar)
Bellflower
(handmade polymer clay lentil beads, glass)
Cabaret
(polymer clay lentil and thunderbird pendants, mother of pearl, glass, miracle beads)
Sodalite Blue
(handmade faux lapis Lazuli polymer clay, Sodalite, lampwork and glass)
Margarita
(polymer clay flower, lentil and bead, abalone, miracle beads)
Sweet Lilac
(handmade polymer clay sand dollar and heart, amethyst, mother of pearl, miracle beads)
Cockatoo
(handmade polymer clay focals and flowers, mother of pearl, glass)
Driftwood
(Polymer clay sea urchin and beads, glass, mother of pearl, dragon scale agate, hematite)
Starfish
(handmade polymer clay focal, black-lip shell, glass, labradorite)
Pretty neat selection, don’t you think? The last swap for the season I’m participating will take place next month. It will have a Bead Blog hop involved and participants will have to create something with the beads. Fun, fun, fun. And speaking of fun, I’m currently working on another tutorial (or two…)
