Bon la traduction n’est pas satisfaisante. Mais je vous explique.
Cet échange organisé par Jennifer Stout Cameron. Chaque participants doit créer onze « charms » on pourrait dire des breloques, c’est à dire des éléments à accrocher.
Pourquoi onze? Parce qu’il s’agit d’abord d’un échange. Après avoir envoyé ses onze breloques, chaque participants reçoit en retour, une de ses propres breloques et neuf d’autres participants.
Vous allez me dire, et la onzième? C’est le deuxième objectif de cet échange, récolter des fonds pour l’association Beads of Courage qui travaille avec les enfants malades.
This exchange was organized by Jennifer Stout Cameron. Every participant had to create eleven charms. Why eleven, because it is an exchange. So first you send your charms and in exchange you get one of yours back and nine from other participants. Now there is one left, that’s the other aspect of the exchange, to get funds for Beads of Courage.
Comment? En étant mis aux enchères. Donc pour participer il faut aller:
How? An auction. So now you go there:

Voici donc mes onze breloques
Here are my eleven charms
Le thème était « Love », amour donc. Pas facile. Première difficultés, je ne sais pas faire de perles, je ne fais pas céramique, de verre, la pâte polymère, ce n’est pas encore concluant. Alors je me suis longtemps demandé ce que j’allais faire. Du tissage, donc des perles tissées. Bien, et avec ceci?
Une tige travaillée en forme de coeur, deuxième difficulté, le thème. Difficile d’éviter le coeur… J’ai essayé, mais je n’ai pas réussi.
J’ai choisi des couleurs chaudes, du crystal, du tissage et du métal pour symboliser le lien, la solidité, l’étincelle et la chaleur et représenter l’amour.
Voici maintenant les autre « charms » reçus, ils sont tous magnifiques.
The theme was love. Not that easy. First difficulty is that I don’t know how to work glass or clay, so I had to think hard to decide on what to do. Some bead weaving, beaded beads, and a little wirework with heart headpins. That was another difficulty, trying not to use a heart, but I failed.
I chose warm colors, cristal, weaving and metal to symbolise, link, strength, sparkle and warmth to represent love.
And here are the charms I received, they are all gorgeous.

A beautiful charm, Kristi – and I should know, as I now own one! Hearts are simply the best ~ I, too, have tried to not use one, but couldn't stay away from one 🙂
