Lori Andersons's No Blog Hop Swap

Woohoo! I received a marvelous selection of seed beads in 6/0 and 11/0 from my so generous partner Kelli Jacobson
I love what Kelli sent I have been wanting to add more 6/0 seed beads and mixes to my collection. Kelli also made some lovely polymer clay beads
In turquoise and her own mix "cherry mango" yummy! That's not all she included some rough cut amethyst that will be gorgeous wire wrapped! Thank you Kelli, I hope you like what I sent just as much!



-Happy Beading! Judy

The faceted rondelles were purchased from Lydia at Beedtime Bead Shop here in Ocala. The Preciosa crystals were acquired at Birdsong Beads in Andrews, NC on one of out many trips up to Murphy.
