This is the Third annual Swap N Hop the brainchild of Linda Anderson. We submit our names earlier in the year and Linda matches us up with a partner. You each send to your partner a focal and a clasp and some beads. This is what I sent my partner Rachelle Walker.
I sent her a light lavender focal by bead artist Debbie Hull and a fold over magnetic clasp and some various beads in green and purple
a close up of the focal. Can't quite get the colors right in the photo.
Here is what Rachelle sent me: Some beautiful handmade beads, chocolate brown beads some green gemstone beads and a fabulous hand made focal.
A great textured antique copper clasp
some copper bead caps
And some handmade beads
Here is the final necklace. I used some amber ice chip beads and some bright orange beads from my stash, and incorporated tri-color chain. I only used a few of the gemstone green beads and then added the chocolate brown faceted beads.

The bracelet: I used one of Rachelle's handmade beads, the green gemstone beads and the chocolate brown beads with a great copper clasp I have been dying to use. Then I made simple earrings using the tri-color chain and the orange beads.
Hope you like what I did with these great components.
Please visit all the other partners in the hop!
