We have once again joined the Bead Peeps Swap N Hop event from Linda Anderson - this year being the 5th year running! For this event, creators are partnered up to swap beads with each other, then they post their creations on the reveal date and hop to each one and see what everyone has created.
Our partner this year is Sarah Auerbach from New York. She sells beads in a FaceBook group under the name Larynx Jewels, and also has a jewelry subscription service on her website under the same name. She started making jewelry to help causes she cared about, and her favorite styles to create include simple, striking and vintage accented with assorted handmade components. Armed with this info, we sent Sarah a selection of crystals, stones and vintage rice beads in earthy greens, blues and bronzes. Our artisan components included a lampwork focal, one of our Molten Solder teardrops and Molten Solder links. We also sent a tasty artisan chocolate bar!
We also received our partner's Bead Swap, and it's chock full of fun items! Sarah sent beads and components that she catered to each of our styles, including seed bead triangles, vintage glass and findings, and some fun comic book beads that she made herself! She also sent a yummy chocolate coffee bean bar (which we all love!) and a recipe for lavender lemonade (using lavender that she has home-grown) which we can't wait to try.
We already have some fun ideas for all these beads, and can't wait to get started creating. Be sure to come back and see us on April 7th to
see the Big Reveal!
