Baubles, Bangles and BOO! -Halloween themed Charms/Open Medium -Due November 6

[nanner]

I totally agree! Halloween swaps are my faves, too.

[theweavershand]

Your gorgeous charms are here, chimerix! These pictures dont do them justice! They are so bright and sparkly and those hand carved skulls are amazing!

I did four of each of these. I made the fabric beads and added the hand carved skull beads I had completely forgotten I had. So perfect.

I'd love to get this swap up to 8 people at least, if possible, so everyone will end up with charms from 8 different people. Any lurkers ready to make the leap? Please pass the word on to anyone you know who might be interested in making some tiny bit of awesome!

I’m working on some but need to see if they come out well before I actually sign up.

[notinkansas]

Don't count me out just yet!

[CiCiCreates]

Me either

[theweavershand]

Thanks, you guys. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This looks like so much fun. I'm going through some really challenging medical things right now so my muse is losing her mojo. I'll keep lurking for now. I wish I had a lesson in wire bending..

[theweavershand]

I'm so sorry to hear that, Esta. I hope your muse gets some inspiration here. I learn a lot from Pinterest. I can search what I'm looking for, get some help visualizing what i have in mind, and choose bits and pieces of different designs to create what Im picturing. You can also find links to free tutorials that are very helpful for learning techniques that you can use to create your own ideas.

You will be in my prayers.

I've been quietly lurking and admiring everyone's work since I usually like to get a set done before I sign up. Today is my Friday, so I'll break out the beads and wire and stuff to see what I can come up with.

[theweavershand]

I cant wait to see what you create, Strivaria!

[theweavershand]

bumping us up. I missed out on attending my youngest daughter's watch party for Hocus Pocus 2 (be assured, I will see it ASAP) so I could go to my oldest daughter's and watch my grand-girl and her HS Band take first place and all the awards at a marching contest today. So worth it! They did so well! I couldnt possible be more proud of her.

[Laffqueen]

I have no idea if these are even in the ballpark of acceptable. Believe me you can be honest. Many many thanks to jezebelle for her advice and directing me to resources

[CiCiCreates]

I love them!!

[Laffqueen]

Ok 2 more

[theweavershand]

Those are fabulous, Esta!! Those black cat beads are amazing! Those are more than acceptable. They are perfect!

[Laffqueen]

OK. You’re building my confidence daily (is Cecelia in the house)

[CiCiCreates]

Esta , love the Cecelia reference (we may be of a similar age - lol).

[theweavershand]

Right there with ya. Singing it in my head as soon as I read it.

[Laffqueen]

OK Just a few more to do so sign me up, Buttercup. PS I see all you FB posts. You must be so proud of your granddaughter and Arthra's conducting achievements. ( love the name Arthra)
