Well, earrings are the piece of jewelry I prefer to wear and
I mostly make, so I picked the invite for this swap immediately.
My partner was Susan Kennedy from Suebeads, a talented lampworker. Just look at these gorgeous beads she makes
I've asked Sue to take a look at my Flickr gallery and tell me which style of earrings she prefers. I already knew she loves turquoise, silver and green, so I've chosen some peppermint and turquoise Fimo and made a pair of both sides textured rings with a texture plate made by me; then just a little touch of silver Inka gold. I've added filigree silver beads and seed beads and this is what I have sent to Sue:
I've added a lucky charm - one of my clowny beads, but forgot to take a picture of it.
I still haven't received the package Susan sent, even if she sent it three weeks ago!!! But I'm sure it will arrive soon!! If you would like to know what has she sent to me, just take a look at her blog here.
UPDATE - 23 March
Yesterday I have finally received my package from Sue. Just look at these gorgeous earrings and she even included some of her beautiful lampwork beads!!! [happydance] How lucky I am!!!
No need to say I had to wear them today at work :-D

You made such beautiful components, the result is great. and I love your packaging too!
I love your ruffled discs you made and the earrings you made with them. Your bead you sent her was awesome. Hope you get your earrings soon.
oh how fun! and paired up with Sue ... fantastic! You're earrings are great - love the turquoise
Very nice.
I like what you did with the polymer clay, beautiful earrings.
I really love the earrings you made! So summery in colour and style. I'm just starting to experiment with polymer clay so I can now really appreciate the artistry in your work. Wow!
Lovely earrings! I have read a lot of comments about slow postal service on this blog hop, what a shame so many are still waiting.
I love that color palette! And you making your own pieces is just extra special! Nice job Pepita! Hope you get your package soon, but I KNOW it will prove worth the wait! ~ Shelley
Lucky to be paired with Sue... I was in a polish swap and sending over seas since the price changed sucks. I hope you get your earrings soon.. It will be worth it.
What you made was created (and packaged!) beautifully! Hope you get yours soon. Thanks for participating!
As I told Susan, I think it's interesting that you both chose similar colored beads for your earrings. I also work with polymer clay, so I have an extra layer of appreciation for your textured rings. Lovely work! My package to Italy hasn't arrived yet, either, so you're not the only one in that boat. I think we underestimate how slow the mail can be at times. I'm sure they'll come soon!
Nice earrings! I hope you get your package soon!
Wow! I love those earrings!
Those are lovely. I like the texture and style.
Alenka, you've designed beautiful and modern earrings. They remind me of Summer and beach days. Have a nice week, Ana
I'm sure Sue's earrings will be worth waiting for! Love your earrings, by the way! :)
Love what you sent! So fun!
i love what you came up with :)
Wonderful earrings you made! They look like a lot of fun to wear. When I first saw them, I thought "I've seen these before". Yeah, last night on Sue's blog! They're really cute & so was the extra bug bead you sent. I really hope you get your earrings soon, they're very pretty too.
Thank you so much for being my partner Alenka, I love my earrings and my little treat and I'm SO glad you finally got your package!
What great earrings. Her beads are awesome. Glad you got your earrings.
Oooh! I love what you did and I love what your partner sent!
