i love the bead soup blog hop! you swap some beads with a random partner and create stuff.
the only rule is to use the focal and the clasp; any other beads can be left out.
this is what i got from danielle @ imbue the muse. she so spoiled me!
a carved stone focal and two clasps to choose from.
some rubies, pearls, vintage glass, filigree caps, and little birdie.
so, i made a necklace! it has one of the clasps, the stone focal,
and the fire-polished glass beads.
i added a piece of shell from an old bracelet, wrapped it with copper and
the fire-polished beads and added sari silk for the neck. oooo. so soft!
here's a close up of the clasp.
and the back side of the stone.
while i was at it, i made a second piece using the other clasp,
the caps, pearls, rubies and birdie.
i added some side drilled pearls.
i capped the rubies.
and put the bird on another stone i had in my stash.
i'm sending this one to her as a gift for being so generous.
below are the links to the list of blogs to hop around
as you peruse the talent of so many.
as you peruse the talent of so many.
don't forget to visit danielle!
cheers!

ReplyDeletecheers!
DeleteBeautiful work! I love how soft and feminine your work is.
ReplyDeletethank you. usually i am very grungy industrial chic, but this was fun to do!
DeleteLove what you did with the carved stone focal. Thats great!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty necklaces. I love how you worked with the first focal! I'm a big fan or sari silk.
ReplyDeletei love sari silk as well! xoxo
DeleteExcellent soup! I too love the first one with the sari silk...how feminine and demure....love it. And the rubies look like strawberries. Love them all! Great job!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous focal you got to work with -- and I really like how you highlighted it with the shell and glass, enhancing the spirit of it. It is a lovely, lovely piece. The bird makes the second necklace is adorable!
ReplyDeletethanks. I am pleased with how they turned out. this was a true challenge for me!
DeleteI love the way you used the carved focal, I love sari silk too. The side drilled pearls in the second piece add just the right amount of texture. Well done!
ReplyDeleteStunning pieces, pure beautiful art. Love your designs.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your lovely words!
DeleteBeatiful!!! Love both of them!

Both of your designs are really pretty. I like that you kept the designs fairly simple and elegant. It lets the elements really stand out on their own.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteI love what you did with your soup, especially the sari silk necklace with the gorgeous focal, bail and bead wrap. It looks so modern! The second necklace is more romantic (pearls always are)! What a nice gesture to send it as a gift!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Both of your necklaces are so cool! I love the way you enhanced the carved stone focal with the piece of shell and the seed beads. And it works very well with the sari silk. You have a great eye for design.
ReplyDeleteInspirational! Really Soup-er! Yep I'm still hopping! Don't want to miss a thing!
