REVEAL!

I was fortunate enough to get a swap partner...She is from Long Beach, California...Kelly Hosford Patterson. Kelly is a graduate of UCLA, Fashion Designer. She uses all types of mixed media in her work.  If you get a chance check her out on Facebook or Instagram @ PyxeeStyx

Here is what I received from Kelly. I surely hope that I can make her proud.

2020 swap

 Good morning all...we're into our 2020 Swap n Hop!

Below is what my partner Colleen Foley sent to me...

My wheels are spinning! Can't wait to start creating..stay tuned!

Here I used the red,white n blue beads! Using red in a focal design.

 Next I used the ceramic camouflage heart, some of the black round beads and some of the green beads to create this set.

This design has the off white rounds that I received. I found a matching cab that I wire wrapped.

 Here I used the round pink beads as spacers. Again finding a pink focal to wrap. Can you tell I'm into wire wrapping?

Next I mixed the round green beads with larger green gold beads.

Finally, included in my bag of goodies was this focal which I surrounded with square honey gold beads..

Thanks Colleen. I was challenged with my bag of goodies once again!

Well now, 3 posts in one month! Go figure..I'm always looking out for new and different techniques...t-shirt necklaces - for those who are allergic to metals this is for you. Imagine a jewelry designer who is allergic to her own jewelry!? I've made several to mix n match to go with my outfits...Hopefully you will like them too.

FanciMar Designs has entered the above bead swap! We are excited to be introduced to sew beady buddy who has already introduced me to new new  technique called Lucent braiding! I briefly watched a YouTube video on it, seems it is centuries old.  I can't wait to try it.  Christina Hickman is my partner. Stay tuned for exciting things ahead..
