~*BEAD SOUP!*~ Blog Party Hop!

It's that YUMMY time of year again!

Lori Anderson's WONDERFUL and inspiring (6th) annual Bead Soup Blog Hop!
It starts today!

I created the flowery bead below with polymer clay, microbeads, rhinestones and a water slide decal. The flowers are made of polymer clay as well. The little green clusters are beaded beads made of silver lined green seed beads and also larger ones- faceted bronze crystals. :)


   


This is the bead soup that I received from my partner, Christina Hickman



I created 2 pieces, so far that is, with the ingredients which I received.



PERFECT CLASP!
Sterling silver leaf toggle!


The clasp that Christina sent me was *perfect* and just what I needed to finish off the necklace that I created with the *AMAZING* wire ladybug art dome that Saffron Johns sent me in April! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Saffron's work! Check her out and maybe buy some of her work if you can afford it! 
It's quality! 

You HAVE to see the crown that she created! It's on ETSY!





So- here is what I designed so far.


It's art to wear! Lots of movement!


Christina's selection of beads was so pretty and eclectic, I was inspired to create an Art Nouveau style piece. 
There are two miniature hand mirrors hanging from the top row of beads... :)



What do you think?

The focal that Christina sent me is so beautiful in the sunlight!


 I've tried to capture the 
dazzling beauty and depth 
that this focal piece has. 
It is so fiery and delicate.
                                 
  It even looks nice like this!


Silk ribbon cord... Using it with the pearls and beads for another project!


Beautiful colors!

 A list of what was included...

Thank you Christina! The ingredients that you sent to me are so inspiring and I LOVE everything! I will continue to create with the rest of the beads and silk! :)

I hope that you all enjoy the rest of the party! *&* please feel free to follow me on FB!
