Ta Da! 

Well folks, it is 11:02 Central, midnight o' two Eastern, which means it is time for the REVEAL of my Bead Soup Blog Hop Creation! Actually- Creations. Yepper, I made two, well, one has matching earrings, so three. Four.  Enough of the blabber, as it's past my bedtime, so here we go: “Numero Uno” is a chunky piece using the green and purple ceramics from my swap partner, along with the ceramic bracelet focal and the ceramic leaf. I added some pink crystal rondeles, pinkish/tan mookaite ovals, white components and shell buttons along with a daffodil bicone swarov and wire wrapped the leaf to the ceramic bracelet piece. 
 
 


Part Deux. Yeah, I know, I don't do seed beads... Well guess what? I had these ocean blue ones that just screamed "Use me, you know you want to!", and of course they were the perfect match for the blue and coppery lampwork beads and blue rondelles from my swap partner, so I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and here I am. I added some swarov bicones and a druzy pendant, then used the remaining two druzys to make matching earrings.




****************

Please visit my swap partner, Pamela, (yeah, I'm wondering if Lori Anderson aka "Bead Soup Swap Hop Queen" did Pam and Pamela on purpose... I really need some sleep...) Anyway, Pamela Eller Traub of Klassy Joolz. http://klassyjoolz.blogspot.com/ to see what she did with the Soup I sent her. I can't wait... 

So until next time:

    Both necklaces are very nice. Love the green and purple together in the first one and the blues are so brilliant and beautiful in the second. Great job.

    So, I'm not sure why you have "No comments" unless you have been moderating them =(

    BUT - I LOVE LOVE LOVE your floral piece! It's so adorable! I'm kinda obsessed with those big white enameled beads in the front, too. =)

    Nice job with your soup. The party is all about overcoming a challenge and it definitely sounds like those seed beads aren't your favorite thing. Good for you for facing that fear and making something so lovely. Great work!

    The bracelet focal made a great necklace focal and also allowed for more interesting structure. I love the chunky beads and the colors of that necklace! Even though you used tiny seed beads for the second necklace, you did a good job adding the lampwork and the druzy pendant to it for more texture and diversity!
