Earring Swap Blog Hop Reveal

Welcome to the Earring Swap blog hop, wanted by Jessica Wensell of Whimsical Monkey.

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:

  ... packed in my Pepita red box:

  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 

Thank you Sue for being my partner in this swap!!!

If you are looking for the reveal of the Bead Soup Blog Party, please go here!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I was not very busy with jewellery making lately because of my left eye problem, it still gets tired quickly, but I was able to send out in time my items for two swaps:

  - Pen & Twinchie Polymer Clay Swap (FB group, my partner is Donna Ingram) --> the deadline for sending out was April 26, and we are still waiting for our packages to arrive. I'll be blogging about the swap when we both receive them.

  - Earring Swap Blog Hop (my partner is Susan Kennedy) and the blog hop will be on May 20, so come back then to see what my partner and I have made for each other.


 And I'm still working for two challenges:

  - a bead soup swap with Kitty --> the reveal date still to be determined, but here's what she gave me and I'm working on (very challenging for me, believe me!):

  - and the A Time to Stitch 3 Challenge, hosted by Therese and Christine. I decided to try all the stitches, I'm working on 3 pieces right now and have the other two to try. I can give you a little sneak peek as the pieces are still far from finished. 

Be well and happy,
Alenka
