Pun intended: Hop Inn ⇒ hopping, my partner for the Swap'n'Hop party this year is from the UK, after all! Just to remind you - she is Erika Price and here are our swaps (#1 and #2). I saw many earring designs in the generous package from Erika and this was where I started from.
Днес всички участници в размяната на мъниста Swap'n'Hop трябва да публикуваме творенията си и да започнем обиколката по блоговете на другите да разгледаме и техните. Да ви припомня партньора си Erika Price и какво си разменихме (#1 and #2). Веднага мислено сглобих няколко чифта обици от щедрата пратка от Ерика и започнах с тях.
Spring Garden Earrings / Обици "Пролетна градина"
Spring Garden Earrings / Обици "Пролетна градина"
I used the polymer clay head pins, Czech glass flowers, lampwork beads and glass spacers.
Използвах пирончетата с главички от полимерна глина, цветя от чешко стъкло, мъниста лампуърк и стъклени разделители.

Bird Song Necklace / Колие "Песента на птиците"
The bird and the leaf came from Erika's package as well as the sari ribbon that I used to make a nest. The beaded bead is one of my most recent makes.
Птичето и листото са ми от Ерика, както и панделката от рециклирано сари, от която направих гнездо. Мънистото го правих наскоро.
Flower Power Convertible Necklace/Brooch / Колие-брошка "Цветница"
I made the frame with a technique from a video tutorial by Gayle Bird that I won on The Beading Gem blog and wired the pin to the back. I made a chain with two hooks that can be attached, basically, anywhere you please. The idea came from a similar piece of chameleon jewelry I made recently.
Направих рамката с техника, научена от едно уроче на Gayle Bird, което спечелих в блога на The Beading Gem. Иглата за брошки прикрепих с тел от обратната страна. Направих верижка с две кукички, която може да закачите, общо взето, където си решите. Идеята ми дойде от друго подобно бижу-хамелеон, което правих наскоро.

All of your earrings are so fun! But, that Bird Song Necklace steals the show for me. I love how you stacked the components. And, your beaded bead and the silk nest are amazing accents.
ОтговорИзтриванеOh, thank you so much, Hope! I have been wanting to make my own bird/nest/leaf necklace for so long and when I saw the components, the design just jumped at me. I only replaced the originally planned stone bead with my beaded one. I am so glad you like it!
ИзтриванеI really like the Bird Song necklace, it is totally my style too 😊
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Christina!
ИзтриванеHi Rosantia, Your earrings are pretty. The bird necklace is a simple but very effective use of your swap beads. I really like your last piece. Being able to wear it as a pendant or brooch is great.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Becky! The last piece is my favorite, too :)
ИзтриванеSuch beautifully balanced makes. I am in love with your nested bird necklace. I really enjoyed looking at all of your pieces, you are wuite the talented artist!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you for the flattering compliment, Nelly May! I also like how the bird necklace came together :)
ИзтриванеAll of your pieces are really pretty. Great job!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Kristina!
ИзтриванеUsing fabric to make the nest is a great idea and the necklace looks pretty darn cute with the bird on it. The brooch to pendant is a great idea too. I loved how you had used chunky nuggets on the chameleon piece
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Divya! I am really happy the idea of a fabric nest struck me, too! The convertible piece is my favorite, though :)
ИзтриванеOh my goodness! What BEAUTIFUL pieces! I love that first pair of earrings and the convertible pendant....what a BRILLIANT idea! It's so well balanced and sheer perfection! Great work!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Linda! I owe the inspiration not only to my partner but to you, too!
ИзтриванеThat flower pendant is beautiful!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you so much!
ИзтриванеThat last piece is so creative! I always admire your skills, you are a true artist! The colours are stunning too!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Ntina! I am partial to the last piece, too :)
ИзтриванеI like all of your jewelry very much. The last necklace is so creative. The bird nest pendant looks like something that you will wear a lot.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you so much, Inge! The bird nest pendant is lightweight and with an adjustable cording so, yes, it will see a lot of wear :)
ИзтриванеTurquoise is my favorite color and one of my favorite stones (as it is my birthstone).
ОтговорИзтриванеThe earrings are all so pretty but the brooch - pendant is extra special, love it ! You are so creative and talented.
Thank you, Anna-Maria! I love the colors my partner chose for me and the endless possible combinations. I always try to make something special for these swaps and this brooch-pendant was that special thing this time :)
ИзтриванеReally cool focal that you designed for the necklace! Nice work!
ОтговорИзтриванеGorgeous pieces of jewellery, such fabulous colour combinations. I adore the flower necklace/brooch combination.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you so much! The necklace/brooch piece is my favorite, too!
ИзтриванеI love, love, LOVE the bird and the leaf pendant and the flower pendant is so tactile and cool!
