If you make donuts or discs and 20mm is too hard to do from hole to hole, then we can use the diameter BUT the diameter should be even larger than 20 mm. in general the blob of glass should start the size of a chestnut and then you flatten, squish, manipulate it into the shape you want. or in the case of a disc or donut you don't flatten or squish, capisce? don't stress about this ok guys this is going to be fun and in general we are not talking about honking focals nor are we talking about tiny spacers. these are substantial BEADS that may be a little larger than set size but not really focals either. they can be as simple as frit beads or as complex as your talents allow. heck if you do a certain color really well they can be just one color plain encased boro goodness. this group does boro and it does it well. this swap is going to be awesome and I promise no one is going to be disappointed.
edited to add: that if you make donuts and they are not 20 mm from hole to hole then they should be even larger than 20mm in diameter. a 10mm wide by 20mm in diameter bead is going to be too small for this exchange.
please see the sizing examples further along in the thread.
lay your bead down on a quarter. does it almost cover the quarter? then you are good.

I wonder how I missed this thread? I guess it's too late for me to participate. Oh well. Maybe next time.
And just when I started making beads again...

Hi Paula
Well, the is a definite first for me but I have decided to give it a try. Must the beads be with you in your hands on 1 December. That would mean I would have to post min about first week in November! Also, I do not have $$ for return postage to send you but you could send me a Paypal invoice and I will pay it.

yes the beads must be in my hands by december 1! I have the first week of december off from work and I plan to grab those poor unfortunate souls who are geographically closest to me (kimv brenda lol) and bribe them with pizza and pendants to sort and package beads. Having witnesses will also help protect me from those that may cry that I play favorites. We all have our favorite artists and you may see them in this list. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T ASK ME FOR A CERTAIN ARTIST'S BEADS. HOMEY DON'T PLAY THAT.
My plan is to make sure out of the pile of 300 beads, you get 10 different artists beads and not your own. If I can accomplish that then we are good and I have fufulled what I promised. If you are sad that you don't get the particular beads you want then I will be sad for you too but that's the best I can offer. If you were the kid who cried after every secret santa exchange or yankee swap because you got a green knit hat instead of the red light up yo-yo please reconsider your participation. this is said in the kindest most gentle way possible since there is no tone in posting. I love you all and I would love to fufill your lifelong dream of getting a certain artist's beads but there is no way to keep this fair if I start taking orders. OK? I have been hanging around this board for almost 3 years and I have seen exchanges go horribly wrong. I have kept some mental notes on what can go horribly wrong. This issue is one of the areas that can be very troublesome.
I am open to feedback regarding other areas that I may not have foreseen yet so if you have a question or comment please shoot it my way. I am humbled that 29 people in the span of less than 24 hours would entrust me with their beads. thank you all for making up such a great and talented group!!!!!!
for those people outside the US and Canada I am asking for $3.00 postage and I can paypal you an invoice. YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GET THOSE BEADS IN THE MAIL SOMETIME IN EARLY TO MID NOVEMBER SO THEY REACH ME IN TIME!

I don't really have any suggestions as to how to make it go more smoothly, but I think it would be cool to take a photo of all of them together as a group. Don't need to list whose is whose, but just all of them in a big pile would be nice...

I have a plan to take pictures of each set when they come in so we will have a reference. what I found is during the charm exchange was once you take the beads out of their little baggie to make jewelry you forget who made what. good idea Chad about taking a group shot too! and if we can get our little sorting pizza party together we'll be sure to take pix that night too.

OK the bead exchange is closed. I am off to the body shop because I backed into my husband's car in the driveway this weekend (his fault LOL) please don't e-mail me about getting into the exchange I have to cut it off somewhere and since 33 is my lucky number and on my licence plate then 33 it is!
YAY and we're off!

One question...
Do we find out whose beads we get back?
It's not a big deal to me either way, but I was just curious...

I think each bead is supposed to be in a baggie with a business card so you will know who made each one.

I don't mind picking off the peppers (the rest is good!), I'm used to it, but the margarita has to be on ice! I LOVE this being retired....I can actually make it at any time!!!!!!
