The most lovely
Sally Russick is hosting her second ornament swap and today is the reveal! I had fun doing it last year, so I wanted to do it again this year! My partner is probably one of the most positive, lovely ladies I have ever met -
Kristin Stevens. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Bead Fest Philly this year (and her daughter too) and I was very glad I ended up being her partner! Here's what I made Kristin:
I'm kind of stuck on these vintage chandellier parts I have, and wanted to use one of them. And I really love the shimmery effects of the pixie dust on white glass, and I really love the baroque shape of the beads! I made the hanger myself, too!
And here's what Kristin made me:
If you know Kristen, then you know she does wonders with beads! Her little beaded beads so cute, and this ornament is so delicate - it has a prominent spot on my tree!
Thank you Sally for hosting another fun swap! Here's a list of all the participants, so you can drool over their ornaments too!

2 very beautiful ornaments - you both did a great job.
Hi Susan,
The ornament you received from Kristen is beautiful and so very Kristen like. I have not met her in person yet, but we do talk often on the phone and she is a very lovely person. The ornament you sent to her is beautiful also.
Merry Christmas,
Therese
I would be stuck on those chandilier crystals too- they make the most beautiful ornaments! Man - that bead weaving she did is totally gorgeous!! I love the unique design of this ornament - beautiful!
Oooo, I love Kristen's beaded beads and the wreath! Lovely :-)
And I just love your icicles!!! Very cool (no pun intended). I was at an antique store a few weeks ago and they had the chandelier pieces like that. I was going to get them but the drill hole wasn;t all the way through and it stopped me from getting them. I just might go back though.....
Both beautiful pieces! I love Kristen's beaded beads, and she matched the golem bead perfectly! Your beads always deliver, and that chandelier crystal looks wonderful with them.
Both ornaments couldn't be more different. I love your ornament because it is so elegant and perfect for winter.
And Kristens ornament is fun and whimsical, and very unique--just right for Christmas.
Sue, your vintage inspired ornament is spectacular! I'm a sucker for those vintage chandelier crystals!
The ornament that Kristin made for you is lovely, the beaded beads are beautiful.
Thank you for participating again this year! Have a very Merry Christmas!!!
I think it is really cool to see the way your design esthetic is played out in each ornament. I would be proud to have either one on my tree! Enjoy the day! Erin
Love your ornament Sue!
Love the ornament you got! She did such a good job of matching the red seed beads to the focal!
The crystal on the ornament you sent will sparkle so nicley on a tree with lights!
I love the icicle ornament you created Sue (those beads of yours are perfect), and I love what Kristen made for you (huge fan of Golem and of Kristen's mad beading skills). Both ornaments are stunning!
Oh I am a sucker for beaded beads so I love Kristen's ornament! Your chandelier ornament is so lovely too!
Hey Sue, I love what you both created for each other! I adore all the colors in Kristen's ornament and the cool, elegant, simplicity of your piece. Have a wonderful holiday season!
The ornament you got from Kristen is so colorful. It would have a special place on my tree too. I really like the chandelier ornament you made too.It's fun to see the creativity of everyone.
Oh Sue I am totally blushing!! We are very lucky indeed to have been able to meet and now share this! Your friendship is so special! Yes I will be stealing this pic because even if I did get one it wouldn't look as cute as this!
Ooh! Love the Sue Beads icicle!!! and Kristen's festive wreath! Such different approaches, and so wonderful!
What a fun ornament-love the unique design and color palette! The beaded beads are wonderful. I also loved what you created for her. I was so lucky to be partnered up with you last year-you're ornament adds such beauty to my tree!
You both did a fantastic job! I love how elegant and wintry your ornament came out and the piece that Kristen sent is just delightful. The bright red is so eye-catching and playful! Nicely done, you two!
What a fun and whimsical ornament you received. I'm positive you'll treasure it for ages. And the ornament you made for her is just magical-looking. It's a beauty!
Love you vintage chandlier ornament perfect with your lamp work and the red and green is such a fun ornmanet.
Happy Holidays
