Bead Soup

My Bead Soup from natasha!

I am going to make this short as you have so many blogs to go see. My partner Natasha made the most amazing metal textured flower focal. I paired it with orange em-bead cord and my orange lampwork beads and headpins. With  all the other Vintaj components I made a  bracelet and earring to match. Thank-you Lori for all your hard work putting this blog hop together. I had fun and can't wait to see all the great designs everyone made.

    Good for you for keeping your blog short! I tried and failed! lol.

    What gorgeous pieces! I love that focal flower and how you assembled them. They look like such wonderful rich colors for fall! Love the bracelet and earrings as well! Beautiful work!

    The necklace is extra-special. With so few ingredients you used, you made a very outstanding piece. I love the "architecture" of it. Really really cool.

    Your pieces are so perfect for fall!! They are warm and simply beautiful! Great job. I would have never imagined making those pieces with that soup. That's what I love about this party. So much talent! Your pieces are the perfect example of the extraordinary talent in this list! Great work!

    I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.

    LOOOOVE that thick cording you used! That just really pulled it all together!

    I hope you’ll participate again!

    Love, Lori

    wow! SO different than what I have made with the same pieces! I LOVE that about this party! I think seeing what you have made with my stuff takes me out of my box even more than working with what you sent me did!!! SO COOL! I would have never paired orange with those focals, but boy does it pop! love the bracelet the most. well done! btw, sorry i am so late to join the party, but we were up north without internet!

    Thank-you for all the nice comments. I had fun making them. That focal I got from Natasha would of looked good on a shoe string. I didn't want to over play that and I think I did with the simple design.

    I finally made my way here. I have never seen a corded necklace with chain and my morning eyes couldn't figure it out at first. It is brilliant! Great use of materials and you really showcased the flower. Your bracelet is stunning as well, glad I got to see the updated picture that shows it off even better than the first.
