MISMATCHED ART BEAD EARRING SWAP...

and an apology.  I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted, and I'm sorry for that.  Now, on to the swap.  The lovely Diana, from Suburban Girl Studio, has issued a fun challenge to create mismatched art bead earrings and then swap them with a partner.  I was paired with Kashmira.  I was really looking forward to this swap because it gave each of us an opportunity to create something really unique for each other.  When Kashmira's package arrived in the mail I was not disappointed.  Just look at what I received...

Aren't they lovely.  I'm a big fan of the green, so these earrings are right up my alley.  They are very light, and comfortable to wear, and I have received many compliments on them.  To the point that I had to stop my own mother from swiping them.  I'm so glad that I joined this swap, and that I was paired with such a thoughtful partner.  Go on and visit Kashmira, and all the other participants, you won't be disappointed. Here's a list of everyone playing:

PS... I know that I'm a little early, but if I wait to do this tomorrow it won't get done. And, I can't figure out why this post is so freaky looking, but I'm too tired to chase down the problem.

PPS...Kashmira left a comment telling everyone where she got those great enameled beads.  Be sure and check it out.

HAPPY CREATING TO YOU ALL....
