For this Bead Soup Party our partner is Jill MacKay.
Just as a reminder of what Jill sent us for our soup ingredients. You can also go here and read about the goodies.
In case you are just joining us and want to know what the Bead Soup Party is all about, here you go: It is a wonderful party hosted by the brilliant Lori, Pretty Things. Lori had the bright idea to host a party where she partners up jewelry artists from around the world. You and your partner swap jewelry components: any beads, findings and elements of the partners choice but there must be a mandatory focal and art clasp. You must use the focal and clasp in a piece and the rest is up to you on how you want to use. Lori then comes up with reveal dates and you choose what date you want to participate in. Then we, as a group, post our images of our pieces on those reveal dates and then get to hopping to see all the wonderful creations.
Here is what mom and I created from Jill's goodies:
Mom and I ended up making two necklaces with almost all the components that Jill sent us, a pair of earrings and a bracelet with the left over pearls.
This is an image of all four of our pieces together.
An image of the two necklaces together. The necklaces are meant to be worn together or separately. Like I said we used almost all of the beads, findings and clasp in these two necklaces.
Both of the necklaces seperated.
Now a close up of the components that Jill sent us:
Mom and I wanted to create a couple of more pieces to go with our Soup goodies.
Mom and I loved the shape of the components that Jill sent us, so mom sawed out the shape in copper and then I enameled the pieces in the same color pallet as the beads we received from Jill. Mom and I are both loving these colors together!
Here is the bracelet that we made - though it is a work in progress. I don't like how inflexible the bracelet is and both mom and I don't like how it lies on the wrist. So, will disassemble and try again - we are thinking of putting one of the pendants on top of the wrist and the other on the bottom and hook the clasp on the side.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you take the time to see all the other wonderful creations in this reveal date.
Lori
for such a wonderful party!

I love that you recreated the shape of those great components. Best of luck fine turning the bracelet. The necklaces are gorgeous by the way.
ReplyDeleteLovely work! I wish you lots of fun with the bracelet design, I hope it turns out as you want it to.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colours, and your enamelled metal pieces in general are quite gorgeous. I need to explore your site some more :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this set. I am sure you will get things right on the bracelet :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful soup, my dear.I love your enameled pieces - they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove that you were inspired to create the enamelled pieces. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOWSA !!! Great work !!!
ReplyDeleteHow Extra Cool are those pieces you made to "go with" the components your soup mix !!!
Love each design separately and LOVE how they all go together !
Oh I love how you created some more pieces to match the components that Jill sent. That is so cool! And it IS a really neat shape - reminds me of a fish, waves, and a whirlpool all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning necklace~ the combination of components and colors are pure enchantment. You've outdone yourselves! love.

I love the necklaces and how they can be separated or worn together ! Very clever :)
ReplyDeleteI can see this on a black T-shirt, make that my black T-shirt, it has a nice southwest feel.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking exactly like Kathleen. I wear a lot of black, and these necklaces would be fantastic with EVERYTHING in my closet. I adore all of your reveal pieces. They have a primitive and at the same time sophisticated feel to them. And the earrings? You girls hit it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteAt first I wasn't sure if the swirl components were silver on one side, enameled on the other. Thanks for clarifying that! :) Looks like you had a great time working with your soup mix.
ReplyDeleteI love the swirls.. beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteLove the fall colors and the components from your soup and the ones you made, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful jewelry. Just my style. Love the color palette too. Wow, you guys are talented. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have something cool looking. My kind of modern tribal look. Well done ladies.
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are beautiful, and I LOVE how you created some of your metal elements in the same shape --such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on my bead soup creation. Your pieces are awesome! Love them all! Love the enameled metal, such a great idea to add a little of your enameled metal to the design! Great job using your bead soup!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blending of talent!
ReplyDeleteSome really beautiful pieces! I have to admit that I am very partial to the enameled pieces☺ I like that the necklaces can be worn together, Awesome♥ Great work!
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours, love those rich tones and the enamelled swirls that you created add an extra special detail, gorgeous
ReplyDeletebeautiful pieces!
ReplyDeletethis is my 3rd BSBP, I'm on the 3rd reveal... it is totally funny this party!

Your pieces are so original, I love your design! Especially love that you recreated the components shape!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are fabulously gorgeous!!!! What a wonderful set!! I love the set of enameled components you made from the shape and the colors you used!!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love the swirls and the way that you made your own, very clever. Very dramatic and gorgeous jewelry. Clare
ReplyDelete@clareed on Instagram.
Wow! Love your all creations and the necklace is so unique! Your choice of beads and your enamel work is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour creations are fabulously earthy and make me think of Fall. I love that you were able to create some pieces to mimic the spiral and match the other beads. I would have expected nothing less of you with you and your mom's exceptional talent. Wonderfully done!
ReplyDeleteJust love it all, but your metal work is amazing!! I just love the earthy look of it all!! GREAT OB! ~KM 1st reveal - http://kraftymax.blogspot.com/2013/03/7th-bead-soup-blog-party-reveal-33013.html
ReplyDeleteLove those necklaces. You and your Mom have a wonderful style, I love how you work together and make beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteI think your bracelet redisign sounds like it will solve the problem. It's very cool as it is but I can imagine it fitting better as you describe. The rest though, boy it's bang on! I do love the necklaces together. I always love seeing what shapes you've come up with fo rthe bead soup pieces - never disappointed!

ReplyDeleteThose are great designs that work well with the colors and materials in your Bead Soup! I look forward to seeing the final bracelet design.
ReplyDeleteLove your designs, very nice pieces
ReplyDeleteI'm still SO in love with the enamel pieces you guys create! Hopefully I'll be able to own some one day very soon ^.^ That being said, WOW! Everything you guys have created is just awe-inspiring. I especially love the functionality of the necklaces; what a creative idea to do two separate but matching necklaces!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is bravo :)
Wow these are just the most wonderful necklaces I love them, you have certainly created a great set I love how they can be worn seperately or together. I am still going round the 2nd reveal as I have had some health problems so I am a bit late posting. I hope you can find a moment to visit my blog.
ReplyDeleteJackie
Your necklaces are beautiful & the earrings you created to go with it are wonderful.
ReplyDeletePretty pieces -- I so love how you created copper pieces to echo the components your partner sent. The colors are beautiful,and they look particularly gorgeous in the enamels!
ReplyDeleteI loved how you cut out and enameled some pieces to go with the designs. I really like both of the necklaces.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pieces ya'll created! I like it that the necklaces can be worn together or separate. I really love it that ya'll created earring designs that matched the components from the bead soup. Beautiful enameling!
