Handmade BEAD swap -international

I am always interested in new and unique beads, and I love trying to make new ones out of all sorts of different materials, polymer clay, found wood, beeswax, felt and other fibers, different types of papers, metal bits, and even soap!

So this is my challenge to you: make at least 2 types of beads (out of anything) and try to make at least five of each type, and send them to one partner. If this goes well maybe we'll do this again, maybe with more than one partner to get a good mix of talent. I don't think anyone else was running a swap like this, but if they were, feel free to let me know and I'll credit them.

The beads can be made out of any material you choose, but should be wearable, meaning that if you use a weird material like soap, it should be sealed in some way so it won't irritate skin or melt with perspiration. I've sealed beads with Modge Podge and also Golden Clear Tar Gel. Oh, if you make traditional glass beads, that's cool too, these beads don't have to be wacky, just handmade. This is fun and experimental lets appreciate each others work!

So new swappers welcome with well filled out profile, rated swappers with 4.6 or above, zero no-sends in the past 3 months, and this is an international swap since shipping probably won't be too expensive.

Oh, and beads have holes in them.....don't do something like send 10 stones without holes and call them beads, the only exception is if they have some other devise that would allow them to be attached to a chain or cord. Try to send something you would like to receive, make them lovely!

To be clear, the beads within each set must have a strong relationship, they don't have to be identical, but they must be a cohesive set (but the two sets themselves don't have to be anything alike). I just want to avoid having someone receive weird odds and ends, but by all means, if you want to show off some odds and ends of bead making attempts and include them also, go for it, maybe they will earn some hearts!
