Description:

Do you buy too many beautiful beads and findings? Want to share some with others who have big stashes? Increase your variety with this swap!

Because beads can be heavy, it is unfortunately US only, and will be the the sandwich size (about 6 and 3/4" by 8"). International friends, feel free to make a version for your region if you like!

Here's what to send:
One sandwich size bag containing:
Fixings to make jewelry! IE:
pretty glass or semi-precious beads
metal beads and charms
strings or tubes of seed bead (not more than one tube per swapper)
headpins, jumprings, connectors, fasteners, earring wires bead caps
bails of jewelers' wire
silk or leather cords
Acrylic or lucite flowers and leaves (like Laliberi, not the cheap kids' plastic kind)
crystals and rondelles
European or pandora-style beads and findings

With the bag full of jewelry supplies, we will also make and send one finished pair or earrings, or one bracelet, or one necklace (sender's choice).

This is sender's choice, but guided by your partner's wishes only insofar as your stash can accomodate. In other words, if your partner loves pandora-style, but you don't have that, don't go shopping, instead to find something else she will like in your stash. Just do the best you can with what you have. This swap is about sharing our supplies with each other.

DO NOT SEND: Kids' bead supplies, pony beads, plastic beads, wooden beads (unless your partner has these as a "like" on her profile, also, NO stretchy cord, jute, rope, hemp, etc. This is a swap for beaders that use good-quality metal, stone, and glass supplies!

To sum up: One partner, one sandwich-size bag, FILLED with nice jewelry supplies along with one finished jewelry item, sender's choice.

Experienced US swappers with at least 10 package swaps rated and no late swaps on your dash. No threes or ones, unless you contact me with an explanation that I deem sufficient prior to joining my swap. Flaking or late sending gets you booted from the group! I angel all my swaps.

You must list below, up to 3 items you need, and up to 3 you don't want. If your partner has what you want, she'll send it. If not, it'll be something nice, and not on your "do not send" list.
