Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party!

So, glad you could make it!

No that you have arrived, are you wondering, "what is a Bead Soup Blog Party"?

Many talented jewelry artists from around the globe rsvp to the party so graciously hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things (See Link #1, below).   Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following:

~ A focal
~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw)
~ Some coordinating spacers or beads

Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

My partner was Stephanie (#134 on the list below -- don't miss her blog to see what she did with the ingredients that I sent to her).  She sent me some lovely soup ingredients.   I had enough ingredients to make the necklace you see in this picture plus earrings and a bracelet.  I did add the drop part of the pendant from beads in my stash as well as some little hemotite spacers and antiqued silver chain.  I also added the toggle to the bracelet and the ear wires to the earrings.  I wanted to add some wire working, so I wired the pretty cameo that she sent and a couple of dangles that I made up onto the drop.  I snipped a couple of pieces of chain to make the drop earrings to match.  I LOVE the way this turned out.

 


Now that you have had your fill of my flavor of soup, come and see what the rest of us made:
