My package for the Bead Peeps Swap N Hop got lost or, hopefully, terribly delayed :) Last year, one of the participants didn't get her package but she didn't give up and posted jewelry made with beads from her stash! I'm sorry I forget her name as she inspired me to do the same! I was planning to make a series of flower themed jewelry to celebrate spring anyway.
Пратката ми за международната размяна на мъниста Bead Peeps Swap N Hop или се е загубила, или просто се е забавила, надявам се :) Това се случи и на една от участничките миналата година, но въпреки това тя направи и публикува бижута с мъниста от своите запаси. Съжалявам, че не помня името й, защото ме вдъхнови и аз да постъпя така! И без това планирах серия от бижута на тема "цветя" за подобаващо посрещане на пролетта.
In my first necklace, I used a lampwork daffodil by PetrovnaLampwork, silver plated and aluminum wire and a crystal bead.
Първото колие е с авторско мънисто на PetrovnaLampwork, посребрена и алуминива тел и кристалче.
No art bead in the second necklace - the focal is washi decoupage on wood, wire wrapping is simple to show off the pattern and the cord is decorated with beaded flowers - a true mixed media piece! Look out for more of these - Palm Sunday is coming!
Второто колие не е с авторско мънисто - централната висулка е декупаж с ръчно правена японска хартия върху дървена плочка, увиването с тел е скромно, за да изпъкне мотивът, а кордата е украсена с направени от мен цветчета от мъниста - истинска смесица от различни техники и материали! Очаквайте още колиета от тази серия - иде Цветница!
This year, my partner was Shaiha Williams and this is her blog. I'm always curious about my partner because I've often met them online before - I've read her blog and come across her name in our Facebook group :) And the person who keeps us connected is Linda Anderson and you can find links to all the participants on her blog :)
Моят партньор тази година - Shaiha Williams и блога й. А в блога на Линда Андерсън - организатор на събитието, има връзки към всички участници :)

I love your Washi focal. It is so cute and creative. The focal that you created for the first necklace is beautiful. Well done!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you!
ИзтриванеBoth of those pieces are beautiful! I’m glad you didn’t let a lost package slow you down!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Michelle! The only advantage and challenge of getting the package would be creating with beads I haven't picked myself :)
ИзтриванеI love both of these so much! The first one definitely scream spring to me. There's so much light and loveliness to it. And, the second one calls to me because of it's mixed media-ness. You know I can't resist that! :) Great job going on with the show despite not receiving your package. That's inspiring!!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Hope! I wanted to make two different designs showcasing flowers and looks like it worked :)
ИзтриванеI really like what you made especially the first one it is so delicate looking. I sure hope you get your package soon.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Marianne! I'm glad you think the first pendant is delicate, it was my intention, too!
ИзтриванеBeautiful pieces! I'm so sorry your package hasn't appeared...yet... But so glad you just went with it and created from your own bead stash.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Kari! I had to do something to not let down my partner and finding excuses was out of question :)
ИзтриванеLove your Spring inspired pieces. Hope you had a fun time.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Lois! I was planning to make more flower themed jewelry this spring and these two necklaces are the first of a series :)
ИзтриванеI wish you had told me that your parcel was lost.I would have sent you one. I have always wanted to pair up with you. Anyway, I appreciate your enthusiasm to participate and you have made 2 very lovely pieces. The firs necklace is simple and stunning.
ОтговорИзтриванеVery kind of you, Divya! We can make a personal swap sometimes, what do you think? The truth is, I was hopeful until the last moment but also had plan B in mind :)
ИзтриванеBeautiful work! My favorite is the daffodil one - you showcased the beautiful bead so well!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Lyilha! The idea for the daffodil went through several revisions before I chose to keep things down :)
ИзтриванеOh my goodness! Your wirework is divine. You’ve made such beautiful things and I’m glad you still joined in. Being an international swapper can be a bit of a challenge - it was me last year that didn’t get mine in time. This year mine arrived 4 days before the deadline! I still enjoy it every time though.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Penny Jane! It is so unfair that in this technical age there's no way to track a regular parcel, isn't it? And the thought that there are some beautiful art beads in this package is quite frustrating :) Anyway, it's a double challenge for us, right :)
ИзтриванеHow disappointing that your swap package did not arrive. I was nervously watching the package tracking info for what I sent my partner and crossing my fingers it would not get lost. I'm glad you decided to participate with your own beads. I am always impressed with your wire work. It looks so effortless, but I know it takes skill and practice. (I know because I've tried it and my pieces never looked so good.) Beautiful designs.
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Tammy! It was an opportunity to show some new designs and I snatched it :)
ИзтриванеYour washi necklace is so pretty!
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you! Washi paper is so inspiring, isn't it :)
ИзтриванеRoz..my sweet... I'm in awe of you. THANK YOU for making something....and those somethings are INCREDIBLE! I'm in lust with the washi tape piece. It's so innovative and creative! 💞😍😘
ОтговорИзтриванеThank you, Linda! I was glad I could share the washi necklace design, even in these circumstances :)
