Go Bananas Swap Gallery

I received from @JoyfulClover today and it’s amazing!!! She is one talented lady!

I’m also going to follow her note in my post progression. :smile:

First, she made a felt necklace with remnants from her guild swap and red beads she’s had in her stash forever…just waiting for me, I guess. :wink:

Close up of her stitching and the little bead details:

I’ve admired this style of necklace for the longest time! And now I have one - in colors that are seriously custom tailored to me. I could wear this with everything I own. In fact, I put it on right away!

:heart_eyes:

One piece of wearable art wasn’t enough, she made me a second woven piece. Can you believe this is the first time she’s woven anything?!?

There was a story for every part of this necklace. I love that! The weaving represents a beach landscape, and is accented with stone beads from Chicago (great city!), sea glass from the Outer Banks, and silver beads from an old jingling anklet. And I still safety pin my macrame to my knee, too! :laughing: Don’t fix what’s not broken, right?!

Another shot, because I couldn’t decide which I liked better:

And last but not least, I am the honored recipient of JC’s first prayer flag.

Look at all that stitching!! :star_struck: I love every fiber of this baby. I am sure this wasn’t intended, but it makes me think of my favorite childhood movie, The Neverending Story. The colors are very Ivory Tower and Bastian renames the Child-like Empress “Moon Child” after his mom. Extra love here.

Yes, I took 2 pictures of everything, lol. Here’s a close up shot:

And extras! She sent me note cards that will be well-used and a pin! I didn’t tell JC this, but I have been slowly building a little pin collection inspired my some of my favorite fellow Lettuce Heads. :smile: This one says “can’t we all just knit along.”

JC is so thoughtful, she did not forget my kiddos. A bunch of playful goodies for them…perfect for while we are stuck at home.

Thank you so much Joyful! You truly sent a box of treasures.
