BEAD SOUP BLOG PARTY

My partner in this party is Lori Jean Poppe  This is my first bead soup blog party and I was really excited to be included in this wonderful event. Since first seeing this blog party it has really changed by beading life to include so many wonderful other beaders that i have met online on bead soup cafe and other sites. I'd like to thank Lori Anderson for hosting this event even with all her medical issues! She is a trooper. So without further ado here is what i received
Lori Jean Poppe  sent me a wonderful clasp and focal that she wired herself.. I was very impressed and had to think hard on what to do that would show off this wirework.  After much deliberation I came upon an idea to try something new and this is the result:






springtime is the theme for these pieces that i made:


 this piece is more rustic.  I tried a new technique  i actually braided 6 pieces of wire together on a whim and really liked what i came out with.  I liked the mismatch of the sides of this piece.


 Posting very late at night after visiting my new puppy... she's 4 weeks old now and will come home in another month.  she is a chihuahua Still need to pick a name for her!  need suggestions. leave me a name in the comments below
thank you for visiting

  1. I am intrigued by the wire braided piece, it feels very yin/yang. Have you worn it much? I bet it's a great conversation starter. If I saw you, for example, in the grocery store with that piece on I would have to stop and ask about it. It's uniqueness makes it sparkle. Nice job on the Soup!

    I think 'treasure' would be a good name for the puppy. Good luck with your beads and the new cute little doggie :-)

  5. Good job on your first bead soup.
    Why not name your new friend to commemorate the bead soup? Maybe Soupy or Lori, after our gracious hostess?

  8. Really like the work you did on the braided wire piece. It's so different and fun.
    And the puppy is adorable! May you have many happy wonderful years with her. Dogs are truly the most wonderful of companions. The right name will come as you get to know her more!

  10. I like how you made the braided necklace asymmetrical. And the braiding was a very clever idea. Good work!

    And PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE turn off CAPTCHA so we vision-challenged beaders can comment without wrestling unclear letters and number to the bead mat.

  26. Nice work! I particularly like the springlike feel in the first grouping (probably because I'm really tired of the cold temperatures outside!). The braided wire was a good idea -- I'm sure you'll have fun working with that technique in the future, if you can spare any time from playing with your precious new puppy!

  35. Isn't the BSBP fun? Love that you tried new ways of designing. I think your pieces turned out great - I especially like the 'mismatched' necklace. The wire braiding was a clever idea!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Your braided wire resulted in a really cool effect. At first glance, I thought it was a thick chain of some kind. What a great way to think out of the box. Nicely done! :)
