Have you ever joined a bead swap? Last July, the local clay guild that I am a part of had its first ever bead swap. It was my first full-scale ‘activity’ since I had to come up with 18 beads using only black and white clay. It seemed easy in the beginning because there weren’t many rules: no size limit, no restrictions with design and shape. I was bursting with excitement and I was so eager to get started! Admittedly, I kind of crammed working on the beads until the last possible minute and realized belatedly how difficult it was to work with black and white clay!
Here are the beads I came up with, they’re far from what I had in mind but I was pleased with the fact that I came up with 18 uniquely designed beads 🙂
I love the beads that I got in return!
Look at how talented the members of my guild are!
