Bead Soup Blog Hop - I've Signed Up!

I've signed up to the Bead Soup Blog party again! There are over 500 participants this year.

 I have to send a parcel to my assigned partner which includes:-

 :: One focal ::

 ::  One special clasp (not a lobster claw) ::
::  Some coordinating beads (no need to send a million) ::

No religious items -- crosses, Buddhas, goddesses, etc.

No political items.

 

And I receive a package from my partner.

 

On my given reveal date, I post photos of what I have made from my surprise beads.

I've chosen the 2nd reveal date is possible as most participants are in the USA so the first reveal date might not give me enough time to get my items through the post.
