Description:

i love focal beads and never have enough. focal beads are bigger than regular beads and are the focal point to any necklaces that you might make.

i'm making it international because i don't think these will cost much to mail... you could probably put a little bubble wrap around it and send it in a regular envelope.

these can be made from just about anything, as long as it can be strung as a focal bead ... in fact, i recevied in a recent swap a wonderful focal bead made out of fabric! i usually make mine from polymer clay. just make sure it would be something nice that you yourself would want to wear!

these do NOT have to be handmade! if you purchase one, don't get expensive... there are alot of gorgeous nice focals out there for under 3 or 5 bucks... walmart has some especially nice ones...

you'll send one focal bead to each of your partners. :-D

you can also perhaps send a few regular beads to match so the recipient can just put it together right off!

i'm not setting rules on participation...when it's time i can go through the profiles and see who's been naughty and who's been nice. we're all mature grown ups here and i can hope that if you don't intend to participate - why sign up?

and i hope to give everyone time after it closes to see their partner's profile and get an idea of what colors they like and things like that...

this is my first hosting, so please, input and advice and ideas are always most welcome!

MY ITEMS WERE SENT ON TIME- JUST FORGOT TO CONFIRM IT HERE. DID IT NOW.

Irit's items were sent late...she confirmed that in her letter to me. She is also hysterically rude...someone I hope to avoid in the future for sure. She also sent two beads that would actually scratch someone if I used them - I like swap-bot members and how considerate they are; I did not find that thoughtfulness in this situation. A major bummer.

Today it is a month since the focal bead should have been posted. I have not received anything from MITYKA and se is not responding to my messages. It seems that she will be the first person that not send me anything....
