Bead Peeps Swap n' Hop 2017

 Today is the day! The blog hop and reveal party! Just reposting the beads I sent (to the left) and what I received (on the right) before we get started.  My partner this year is Lori Schneider.  She sent me some great stuff, so let's go! 

With some of the turquoise-esque glass I made a bracelet with glass beads and copper.
 With the silver glass drops I made a pair of dangle earrings.  I intend on making a matching necklace, but I need to go chain shopping first.  Everything I have is either too large or too delicate.

I love theses earrings! I paired brass flower stampings with the enamel butterflies.  

Now on to the necklace. I seemed to be stuck on the blue/copper color scheme, so I went with it.  I used the blue/green glass beads along with one of the double sided focals and some glass beads from my own stash for this one.  I am really pleased with how it turned out.
I hope you all enjoyed my contribution to the blog hop.  Now go look at everyone else's!

    There's nothing wrong at all with a blue and copper scheme. I can't think of a better color to go with copper ;)
    I love the little loops you added in the copper chain on the necklace. It gives it so much movement and interest. Well done!!

    Hi Kristina, It was smart of you to choose a single color scheme for your beautiful pieces. By doing so all of your pieces can be worn together. I really like blue and copper.The bracelet is lovely. The silver drop earrings could be worn with almost anything. Your necklace is beautiful. Great job using your swap beads.

    Working in my favorite colors I couldn't help but be captivated. Love the drop accents on the necklace chain. Very clever.

    Beautiful pieces! I can imagine the butterfly earrings flutter when worn! The wire wrapped necklace is gorgeous and I like the dangles with the padded eye pins - love details like this!

    Lovely pieces. Clever on the use of the 5-1 connector to make the bracelet.I love the color combo and simplicity of the necklace to show off that beautiful focal.
