Bead Soup




I joined the Bead Soup Blog Party again, as I mentioned, Margot Potter is my partner. I received her beads today, so I thought I could show you what I sent her and what she sent me. I sent her what felt to me to be an Asian mix, reds and blacks, lampwork, enamel, and others. She sent me a teal/amber mix! When Lori said we might not get what we are used to, that's me! I never really work with these colors, so it will be a challenge, but I already have some ideas floating around in my head, so that's a really good thing! I'm excited to find the time to get started!

Thanks for the delicious beads! I finally posted a pic today. I'm starting to feel human again after CHA and Tucson!

OK. Let's try again... Both mixes have beautiful leads in their own right. Sue, your mix does have an Asian Flare to them. There is a definitive lead to them. while the other group strikes me to be very Organic, leaning in a total opposite direction! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS TO BECOME...;-D

Sue, I recently started up my own blog, "Barking Faeries and Blooming Gardens.blogspot.com I was wondering if you would go and check it out and if you liked it, would become a follower and leave a comment. You see I am a newbie and need all the support I can get!!
THANKS!! And have fun with your beads-LIZ

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...
