It was a pleasure to take part in the 
New Zealand Handmade Christmas Ornament Swap for the 2nd year and hopefully my ornament and card has made it to my swap partner, 
Jo :)
Thought I'd show you how it came together..
|  | 
| I formed the base using a silver foil bead and wire and selected some Christmassy charms - going for the icy type look so used white and aqua beads! | 
|  | 
| I hammered and textured the loops for extra strength (and because I just plain like hammering!!) | 
|  | 
| wire-wrapped beads and added to the main loop | 
|  | 
| it didn't feel quite finished, so... | 
|  | 
| An aqua foil coil bead was added! | 
And because I couldn't help myself, I made a mini ornament to go in the card...

I hope you like them Jo :)
