The 7th Bead Soup Blog Party 2nd Reveal


It is finally here - our reveal date for the 7th Annual Bead Soup Blog Party.  This is our fifth time participating in the party and each time just seems to get better and better.

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 ThingsLori 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!

  13. I 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!

  14. At 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.

  29. Your 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!

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!

    All I can say is bravo :)

  43. 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.
