Bead Soup Blog Party - Third Reveal




The third and final reveal for Lori Anderson's 6th Bead Soup Blog Party is today.
Going to keep this as short as possible, here (There are too many other blogs to hop to!). My partner, Michelle Burnett, sent a TON of beads for me to work with (If there is a shortage of turquoise out West, you can blame it on her.).
See:


I sent her a much smaller selection of black and off white components, with which I am sure she has worked wonders.
With the Southwest in mind I started out to make a turquoise and copper necklace and earring set, using the focal (actual, I used all 3) she sent.
 

Too many beads left over, so I added a bracelet.


Still too many beads left over! So I made another bracelet to use the pewter toggle clasp she also sent.


Then, I had enough beads left over to make another necklace and earring set.


OK, now you can either go back to Lori's link, or click on the next one below for the other participants and keep blog hopping. Enjoy!

  16. You got a whole lotta jewelry out of your soup! But as a mother of five you already knew how to get the most out of it! I love them all but the first bracelet and last pair of earrings are my favs. I also love the way you used several focals in the necklace...the assymetrical look is really well done! Fav job Marlene.
