Beads of Clay recently (well ok maybe NOT so recently) had us partner with another artist and swap beads/pendant and have the recipient create something from their work.

I partnered with Susan Rouleau from South Dakota. I was so excited to get her package - Inside was a beautiful porcelain pendant with Mother of Pearl and Gold Luster. I wanted to make something where it's elegance would stand alone. I made an off white brocade evening bag with a gold lame lining. Her pendant became the button to hold the bag closed. I added a touch of gold, pearl and golden crystal beading to the bottom of the bag.
