Bead Fest Philly - Bead Swap

I'm finally getting around to post about Bead Fest, and I thought it might be nice to post about my Bead Swap first. Diana, from Suburban Girl Studio, organized the Bead Fest Bead Swap and assigned us all partners, as well!  My partner was Kathleen Lange Klik from Modern Nature Studio.  She's so sweet.  She's a great photographer and we talked for awhile about that since my daughter is so into photography.  Here are the beads she gave me, in no order:  Unicorne, FireFly, Elaine Ray and Marsha Neal.
Then Flame Craze, Javanese, Green Girl, Humblebeads and Captured Moments.
She made this felted bead all by herself!  It was a labor of love, I'm sure!
But the most special one that she gave me was this one - she took this photo on a trip to St. Lucia and made it into this lovely pendant!  It's so special, she made it just for me! 
Bead Fest was a lot of fun, and I'll return with some more photos of goodies on Sunday - now I have to go get ready for the Phantom of the Opera Blog Hop which is tomorrow, and the Challenge of Travel, which is Saturday.  Good luck to me....

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
