~*WELCOME!*~
This is the 7th * Bead Soup Blog Party *!
hosted by, Lori Anderson!
~*My name is Amber and my partner for this swap is Pam Farren.*~
You can click on her name throughout this post to be transported to her blog where you can see what I sent to her and what she made with it!
~*Butterfly-Moth-Trinity*~
Lampwork beads with goldstone, glazed ceramic beads,
glass/crystal beads, chain, gears, connectors and copper clasp.
This is my 4th time joining in on the Bead Soul Blog Party!
I love it more and more each time.
My partner created the majority of what she sent me
which includes jumprings, headpins, clasps and focals!
It was a pleasure to design with her components!
Pam made this wonderful warm and sturdy copper clasp!
It's perfect for this necklace!

The focal pendant Pam made by riveting a piece of bicycle chain
on to a frame that features a Russian postage stamp on one side and
a carnival or fair ticket on the other.
She also sent the little capped vial charms which I threaded small beads through.
The toggle clasp Pam made out of a wooden skateboard deck!
(((I LOVE IT!!!)))
This necklace is reversible!
~*Russian Postage stamp side-*~
~*Ticket side*~
~*Cascading flowers.*~
A pair of earrings using beads from the soup!
~*My TYPE of earrings!*~
I created ear hooks from a set of head pins from the soup.
I produced the flowers, using black shrink plastic and added on the
typewriter keys which Pam had up-cycled into charms.
The silver beads from Bali are from a purchase
I made from Lori Anderson, over 5 years ago.

(((I've finally used them, Lori!)))
~*This just happens to be my age.*~
I actually have *8* more pieces that are works in progress
using the beads and components that Pam sent.
I will continue to work on them as time allows!
The purplish disk beads that Pam sent are part of the work in progress above.
I will be taking this apart to re-work the configuration a bit.
Wire writing is something that I love to do!
Butterflies landing on flowers.
Pam sent me gun metal head pins which I used to create
"S" hooks and eye pins for several of the pieces.
I've been challenged and so very inspired by the wonderful assortment
of goods that my partner, Pam Farren has sent me!
Thank you so much, Pam, for sending me such great stuff!
I will continue to work on my designs and post more in time!
See that wire sticking out?
It will be cut! This is a test run and will be taken apart.
The majority of beads, chains, findings and wire that I've used to create my designs- other than what my partner sent me- were bought at Michaels Arts and Crafts store. Michaels has a great selection of beads and jewelry making components to work with! They also have classes too which teach the techniques that I used to make the jewelry! $25 for 2 hours plus the cost of the tools and supplies! Not Bad!~*ENJOY THE BLOG PARTY, EVERYONE!*~
