In a nut shell, Lori Anderson partners up bloggers, artists and jewelry designers with each other and you each send a "soup" of beads including a focal bead and a clasp to your partner. Then we design something with those items and reveal it on one of 3 reveal dates. This is a really fun way to meet new people, see their work and their blogs.
I have been paired up with another blogger and jewelry designer Karen Vincent. Her designs can be found here at Swallowtail Jewellery http://www.swallowtailjewellery.blogspot.com/
Please visit her blog to see what she created with the items that I sent her.
Please also hop around the other blogs listed below and see what everyone has created.
The bead soup that Karen sent me. |
Here is the gorgeous copper focal. I added my lampwork beads, some paper beads and copper connectors that I made. I love the way the blue and copper work with each other. |
The clasp that Karen sent me, I played a bit with alcohol inks to give it a little patina. I also used the coco beads she sent. |
