First I would like to thank our hostess Linda Anderson for organizing yet another wonderful hop..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> I received my fabulous beads from Shaiha Williams of AlchemeeDesigns.com and shailasramblings.com.. Totally thrilled with the section from Shai. I have never worked with sari silk before so it was a challenge to be sure.. Loved the colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is what Shai sent me:<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My goal for 2018 is to update my jewelry style with new techniques which I have been learning last year - I have a few new ideas in mind (also to get a new lap-top mine does not do the period much anymore as you will notice in my typing)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Last year was a big teaching year - so many people wanted to learn new things</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My fav things to work with - glass & metal</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Least fav things are probably seed beads although I do use a few of the larger ones to use as spacers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My personal style clothing wise is leggings, jeans chic casual</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I got into jewelry as a way to use my own glass beads that I make in my studio with glass from Murano, Italy -- also I have a great collection of vintage jewelry from my Grandmother</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My jewelry style is whimsical, boho, asymmetrical for the most part</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My fav colours are turquoise, lime green, teal or second fav has to be pink, purple, orange together</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Fav mediums: glass, metal</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Fav metals: copper, silver plate, sterling silver</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thing that I would rather not work with: seed beads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I make most of my own components---- such a satisfying thing to do !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">There you have it ----hope I have covered all the points !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As far as what I like: love the colors: turquoises, lime green, teals together. and then like oranges, pinks, purples together. And of course black & white.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As for metals my fav is copper, then silver, then black.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Love all kinds of stones, semi-precious in the above colors, lamp work beads.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well the time has come to unveil my pieces for the Swap N Hop... I received my goodies from the talented Lori Schneider of: <a href="http://www.beadaddicted.blogspot.com/">www.beadaddicted.blogspot.com</a> Here is what I sent Lori:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I could see that I had my work cut out for me.. I started by picking out a few of the elements that Lori sent and then just following my natural instincts for designing the piece. I did not have any preplanned ideas for the most part. I was fortunate that I loved all the colours Lori sent me. I had some turquoise, red, black, lime #6 seed beads to add some contrast to the maily turquoise beads.</span></div>

Love this sea urchin focal bead.. added some red seed beads for accent. Put the clasp in the front to add scale and interest. <br />

This elephant was a bit of a challenge. I ended up gluing a large bail on him and balanced him with two extra large round silver beads. I graduated the beads for the necklace from large to small.<br />

For this focal piece and lovely clasp I added some green glass leaves, used the white/turquoise beads(interspersed with black seed beads) and some large turquoise beads (interspersed with lime seed beads)<br />

I really loved this fold form copper piece that Lori sent. I hammered 2 holes in the top and added some jump rings and them a piece of twisted copper wire which I put solder on the end to keep in place. I used my own handmade glass head pins as stamens for the silver<br />
flower and added some vintage, very tiny, sparkly seed beads to the flat patinaed beads. I then soldered the flower pieces onto the back of the fold formed copper piece. I am very pleased with the out come of this piece. I have wanted to try fold forming for a while now.. so this will inspire me to get busy and try it.<br />
I used a beautiful vintage chain and hammered copper clasp to finish off.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">January is almost half over... Have been trying to clean up my studio so that I can post some pictures of it when it is looking reasonably tidy !!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I've also been web surfing looking at different set ups for taking photos.. After countless configurations I think I have finally come up with one that I am super pleased with... Now to find a big piece of very white paper to use as a background.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Found a part of my tri-pod that I forgot I had. A little piece that screws on the bottle of the camera and then just clips onto the tri-pod... LOL which makes it easier to install & uninstall the camera !! My son had put another piece on the camera when he was taking photography (many years ago) & when he was out this summer I gave it back to him as he is now into photography again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">This piece makes it so much easier to take pics.</span><br />
