Fall for Beads!!!

There are some very good bead shows going on now. A lot of us in this group are into making jewelry, so let's do some bead-swappin'. Let's try to swap the most beautiful and interesting beads we can find.

You may include any glass, crystal, semi-precious, or your handmade resin beads. No plastic, and no wood this time, please. Qualtiy findings can also be included in the package.

This is sender's choice. It's not a swap where you go out and buy stuff for your partner! It's about sharing your new buys and good extra beads from your stash, so that we all get to see some new beads and share. No drama! If you get 7-10 dollar's worth of beads, that's good.

Try to include enough of each type of bead that your partner can do something with it. For instance, if you have a focal point bead, one is fine, But if it's say, a medium earring-type teardrop, go for a set. And with medium-size pearls, onyx, crystal beads, try to send about a strand so your partner can make something. If you are including some seed-beads, send a whole vial and make sure they are special.

NO "bead soup," because that's hard to work with. Quality supplies for a quality partner! Swap with love!
