Working on Swaps!

It's been a little while since I was able to do much arting stuff. I didn't take photos of the envelopes I'm making also. I've been slowly working on some jewelry for swappies. Swappies are basically other people who are sick with chronic illnesses. We just try to cheer each other up. :) I'm very slow on mine because my left hand is still extremely numb/hurty. I have no idea what it'll take to get that to work again. I've been checked for carpal tunnel and don't have that, last we knew, but I'm fairly sure there is a nerve pinched somewhere around my elbow.

Welcome to my messy craft area! This is our art desk. Justin asks me what I'll do whenever he's ready to actually create art. Um...guess I'll be packing my stuff up then. :)  I want this to be usable by both of us. I'd love to see him create art. 
Here is just one bracelet set for swapping. I'm working on a lot more. I can't wear metal, but I might do some with metal closures too. These are loop and bead ones, 7 inchers with a little give.

Addendum:

A few hours later, this necklace is done as well. It's a 16 inch choker. I hope I find the right swap partner to receive these bits of jewelry. I worry I'll send to someone who will hate it :( 

Paper beads, black cotton cord, peridot-colored glass chips and hemalike beads.
