Drum Roll.........2012 Art Bead Earring Swap Reveal!

I was so lucky to have as partners Cheryl Brown (Dragonfly Designs in Grande Prairie, Alberta) and Stephanie Haussler (Pixybug Designs, Lawrence, Nebraska).

I have already lost this post once trying to put multiple pictures on one posting.  I will do them ONE at a time.

I waited to open my earrings until they both arrived.  That was yesterday.  It was like Christmas!   I love...love....love all of my earrings!

The first pair of earrings that arrived were from Stephanie.  They are beautiful!  (I still want to hear the story behind the bees)  I don't know if I am correct in my interpretation but the top bead is marbleized (like a mini earth).  You didn't know it but turquoise is one of my most favorite colors!  In the middle is a bee and finally the flat bead at the bottom looks like it has a jar carved on it - no double to hold all that honey from the bee!

Thank you so much Stephanie!
