There were four of us participating. So, we only had to send out 3 pendants. I decided to send out 2 per person and another participant did the same.
The first pendant I received was this really cute mermaid. It is from Ms Rachelle of Queen Accessories. Here is a link to her online shop - http://queenaaccessories.multiply.com/
And the third pendant (the one that arrived today) was from Ms. Fritzie of Chinky Charms - http://lhoche.multiply.com/ who sent an adorable flipflop pendant.
Finally, the ones that I sent out. I am really into hand painting my beads. I decided on a stamped pendant that reminds me of an ornate sun. I highlighted the raised parts with gold to brighten up the pendant. I also made a second pendant with a heart on it and attached it to a round bezel.
Here's a picture of the work in progress....
I formed the same stamped pendants but made them in different colors....the finished pendants....
I added a decorated jump ring to the so they can be worn right away. I also included a black cord necklace. Here's a closeup of the combination of pendants sent to each person....
It was quite fun making these pendants....as well as receiving such cute ones too! I hope to join and host more of these swaps. There is a group on facebook for Filipino clay artists which I just joined lately. I'm sure there will be great events there too! Can't wait.
Here's a photo Ms. Fritzie sent me of the pendants she received...
A big thank you to my swap partners! Hope you enjoyed and like the pendants that you received. Enjoy the summer!!!
i know I haven't been around much but that swap was awesome! I love your new creations too! They have me thinking of how to use them with my sweet seed beads!
