I have posted some closeups and some brighter/clearer shots of the jewelry, shown below, on my FB fan page. Take a look-
I am so glad that you are here.
I've constructed quite a few pieces out of the ingredients that my partner for this event has sent me!
Since we are allowed to make more than one item, I made a bunch!
The inspiration was endless!
I really like the challenge of having to create beaded creations from a random set of beads, a clasp and a focal bead- within a deadline!
This is the biggest Bead Soup Blog Party event-ever!
Hosted by my good friend, the warm, the kind, the very cool and talented
~*Lori Anderson*~
This event is fun!
A challenge too!
I was paired up with a very creative designer and "Fashion Beading" book author, Kim Ballor!
Kim made some beads out of glass and also sent me some complimentary beads to play with as well.
Here are some of the items I made, using the beads that she sent me!
~*Mixed Media necklace!*~
This piece was "modeled" by a young lady and her friend, who was holding it over her ' tummy for the photo. I made a whole new gang of friends while making jewelry outdoors yesterday. When I say gang I mean- 10+ kids! It was nice having an enthusiastic audience.
I shared some of my machine cut faceted crystal teardrops and some other beads with the girls.

~*The clasp that Kim sent me is silver-
I thought I could make another piece of jewelry with it.*~
~*SteamPunk Chic charm bracelet!*~
~*Love Birds, Earrings*~
~*Mixed Media Bracelet*~
This bracelet is SO much lovelier in person! The colors from the OTT lamp and the regular light in the house do not do this piece justice!
Thank You Kim for inspiring me!
You are a great partner!
:o)
