For this swap you must love beads, earrings, and handmade cards. You will create a pair of handmade earrings and a handmade card. You must attach the earrings to the card in a unique way or incorporate them into the design of the card. BOTH EARRINGS AND CARD MUST BE HANDMADE BY YOU! Use quality materials and make a beautiful card and earring set that you would be thrilled to receive. Inside the card you MUST include a short note for your partner. You MUST mail your card with earrings attached in a padded/bubble envelope to ensure safe delivery, as to not cause damage to the earrings. (please note if you have metal allergies do not sign up for this swap)

My preference - no longer than an 1 1/2 inches - colors I'm open but nothing too neon and bright. Love - brown, turquoise, blue, pink, green, purple, black, clear, crystal, and stone!

YEAH! I Love to make both...Please don't send any plastic beads...yucky :) Something springy or summary (are those even words !?!) would be great, and I love dangles! Have Fun!

No - rinfrog - no one should send plastic beaded earrings because the requiements state - "Quality" - and I don't consider plastic, quality! (and not to offend anyone, yes, there are some pretty plastic beads - just not for this swap) :o)

Just so I know. I was told in a different swap that acrylic is not plastic. I want to join, but I want to know that I am getting real stone, crystal, wood, clay, etc...not acrylic, plastic, etc. I use mostly bali, swarozski, sterling; glass and real stones for earrings. I feel I got really burned on a swap and I just want to know the ground rules.

No acrylic beads - which is a type of plastic.

Just a reminder - must have a 5 rating. Maybe another time I could open it up to those with a 4.9 or above. Sorry

I fancy long earrings that are plain (nothing cutesy at all) or big rings with nothing on them. Black and silver are almost the only colours I use but I am of course open to new ideas. Recycled and unusual ideas works very well on me :))))))

Ok watchers, hope you consider joining us. Just a couple days left to join! This will be a quality swap. (I've already banned a couple swappers that didn't meet requirements.) Join in on the fun!
