Sally Russick organized this little swap for the 2nd year in a row, and it such a fun one!
My partner this year was Rebecca Anderson of SongBeads. She is a fabulous jewelry artist who lives in the UK. Unfortunately, her package to me hasn't made it yet, but I will post pictures as soon as it arrives! We decided not to ruin my surprise by her sending me photos!
Here is what I sent her, though! My dear friend Carol Myers, fellow torch-fired enamel enthusiast had been making beautiful ornaments of enameled filigree beads, and I told her I was going to steal her idea!
In fact, I made a bunch and sold a few at my 2 holiday shows! I hung the rest on this tiny tree in my kitchen!
Sorry for the short post, but am feeling a bit under the weather today...remember to go see what the other participants made/received.
