7th Bead Soup Blog Party!





It is that time of the year, when I get to participate in the Bead Soup Blog Party! This is the 3rd reveal for this particular Bead Soup Party, it has really grown!  This year it came at a very hectic time in my life, birthdays, anniversaries, workshops, but I look forward to this little time to  myself to just make what I want.  The photo above is the bead soup that I sent my partner, Toltec Jewels. This next picture is of the wonderful, beautiful bead soup she sent me!

So much to choose from and such beautiful beads.  I pondered and pondered and finally made a few pieces.  I have really started working in metal and gotten away from beading so this brought me back to the colorful world of beads, it did stretch me a bit, which is all good.  This is the necklace I made using the large, swirled agate focal, some beautiful amethyst, and glass leaves.
and the bracelet I made using a beautiful, hand crafted clasp.  The clasp is so pretty I did not want to over power it with lots of stuff, so I stayed pretty simple for the rest of the bracelet.
and of course I needed a pair of earrings.  These are simple, but fun and I just love them and the purple beads are handmade and gorgeous!
There is still plenty of bead soup left to play with, including a beautiful handmade lampwork bead! Stay tuned, I have some special plans for that one and some of the others, so check back and see what becomes of the rest of the bead soup, I will be playing for awhile!!!!

Again, I want to thank my partner, Toltec Jewels for the wonderful soup and Lori for organizing and planning such a fun event!

So, if you would like to continue on the blog party, you can get the complete list here on  Lori's Blog, Pretty Things!  Enjoy!

    All designs are beautiful and elegant. I love them all and I can't choose one favourite. Great work. (PS Sometimes I write too fast and miss words, that is what happened.)

    I love how you designed up a complete set. I am always so scattered that I end up with several different pieces that don't relate to each other at all.

    Really lovely designs! I especially like that you let the beauty of the clasp stay true by not overpowering it. Wonderful work!
