My partner for this swap was the delightful Julie Anne Leggett of The Peaceful Bead. Here is the absolutely gorgeous ornament she created!
Blue lampwork bead by HMB Studios
Swirling lampwork bead by Anne's Glass Jewels
Beaded/wire wrapped quartz with it's subtle snow globe effect
As beautiful as the beads are in this ornament, the precise wire work, done with a lovely aqua-colored wire, is what makes this such an incredible treasure. Those wraps and spring rings are perfect!
I love this ornament, Julie Anne, and I am so very grateful that you created it for me. I will treasure it always ... thank you!

Hi Lola,
Wow that is a very beautiful ornament you received and I am sure you will enjoy it for years to come.

I love this ornament - her beaded wire wrap on the drop bead is phenominal - what a gorgeous effect that makes! You are right - the colored wire "makes it"! Beautiful!
Since I have discovered just how lousy I am at any wire work, I really appreciate folks that can do it. I'm with you, I love that colored wire! What a beautiful addition to your collection!
Beautiful Ornament. The perfect design for a beady girl.
Beautiful ornament! Love how she wire wrapped the quartz.
What a gorgeous ornament I love the beautiful handmade beads and Julie's fabulous wire wrapping.
Wow! This is beautiful! Love the colors and the swing :-)
That is a wonderful ornament! I especially am smitten with the wire wrapping detail. Enjoy the day! Erin
Lola! The ornament you received from Julie Anne is beautiful! I love blue for Christmas ornaments, there is just something so peaceful and calm about the color and you are right Julie's wirework is so precise and the little beads in the wirework finish the piece beautifully!

What an beautiful ornament you got. The aqua wire sure does add to it. I am in awe of the ornament that you made her. Fantastic job.
My favorite winter palette of silvers and blues! What a lovely ornament! And your polymer piece was a dream too! Happy Holidays!
Really pretty and fun! Love the blue colors and all the movement this piece must have! Awesome job!
