6th Bead Soup Blog Party, 2nd Reveal!

Thank you for stopping by.  Many of you know that the awesome Lori Anderson is the organizer for the Bead Soup Blog Party and this is the 6th event she has hosted.  Thank you Lori, for all your hard work!  This has become such a popular affair that this time around there are 400 participants.  As a result, today is the the second reveal date, of which I am a part.











This is the bead soup I received from my partner Regina Santerre
















Please make sure to visit her blog to see what she has created with the bead soup I sent her.

So here is what I made with part of Regina's bead soup:




















In this necklace, I used her butterfly (which is magnesite or howlite) as the focal and the rest of the beads are from my stash which include Czech glass, wood beads, solid bronze beads, and metallic bronze leather.




















In the second necklace, I used Regina's Red Creek Jasper as the focal, the Green Girl Studios Toggle clasp and the bronze shell beads.  I added from my stash Czech glass, two of my own fine silver rings, sterling silver daisy spacers and solid bronze chain.

































These are the beads I had left over and I already have ideas for these.  So I hope to have photos of those pieces soon.
















I hope you enjoyed viewing my designs.  Here are the rest of the participants for this 2nd reveal:

    Fabulous job!

  27. I love your work. So delicate , what you did with the butterfly necklace. Great choice of beads and technique. Lovely. Dita

  28. Sandra, that butterfly is such a great pendant; it is very neutral, but the arrangement of beads, and how you have them "pointing", really brings the butterfly into focus.

    I think your second necklace has a nice balance, too; it's not obvious right away that it is asymmetrical, the effect is quite subtle. A great job designing both. Isn't it fun that you have lots of leftovers for further experimenting?
