Over the weekend I received an envelope filled with both beautiful soft and jewel tone fabric and paper beads from Pam Gonzalez in Illinois -thank you, Pam! She included a note that explained how she had made some of her beads from fabric she had handpainted -cool! Some of her beads were made from paper with bits of ribbon, and some of the beads she painted with
Lumiere paint, one of my favorite paints! Take a look below and click for more details.
Your beads are wonderful, Pam! I like all the variety you achieved. Your name will be entered in the drawing for the extra beads hand made by me. Thanks for labeling yours all so nicely and for the extra bag of trims, plus a few extra beads for me, very sweet. Definitely tell your friends about creative swaps, I would welcome them in our next exchange!
I have also received Sabine's beads from Germany today and will open the package and upload hers tomorrow . . . plus I've heard that more packages are on their way - due to me by Saturday!
I'm really enjoying the beauty and creativeness I've seen so far in this particular swap and look forward to part II where we take our swap beads and create something! ; ) lenna
