Bead Soup Blog Party ... The Big Reveal!!!



Well it's finally here...  time for my Bead Soup Blog Party reveal!!! This was my first time joining in and it's been a blast! If they'll have me, I would love to join the next one.   My partner is  Lorelei  and today is our reveal day. Check out Lorelei's  blog to see the Bead Soup I sent her and what she made with it! :) I haven't seen what she's made yet and I can't wait !!! 


Ok... are you ready? Here we go!!! 
Here's the Bead Soup Lorelei sent me...



And here's what I made with all that Bead Soup goodness...

I loved everything Lorelei sent me... I knew I wanted to use the large pewter
donut shaped pendant but how to use it in a bracelet? I have never used a pendant like that before. And I love the sweet little bird toggle clasp, but it was just a little to small for the design I had in mind and I was afraid it would get lost among all the chunky beads. (Oh how I love chunky beads!)

Sooooo... I played around, came up with an idea and decided to use the pendant as my clasp!  Just had to take the original toggle apart and see if the bird would fit thru the center... and... Voilà... it was a perfect fit!!   :)



And now for a fun surprise... We decided to have a our first blog giveaway!
This sweet bracelet will be gifted to a randomly selected person.
USA or International are welcome to join in!

Requirements: 

1. Comment below for a chance to win!
2. Blog about it and let me know for an extra chance to win!
3. Facebook about it and let me know for another extra chance to win!

Please be sure to let me know if you posted on facebook or your blog as well... maybe leave me a link?  That way I know who to give those extra chances to when we do the random draw.


Update: The end date will be Friday, August the 17th and the winner will be
announced the following Monday. :)






That's it! :)  Good Luck and God Bless!!!



Lorelei, thank you for being so wonderful... I really enjoyed partnering with you and I hope you feel the same! XO

Well folks... this the 2nd reveal out of three. There was approx. 400 of us.  Please try to visit all of the participants blogs...  it's so fun and inspiring to see the Bead Soup everyone sent to each other and what they have created with it.


To see a list of all the participants that share in this 2nd reveal
 with Lorelei and I, be sure to click and visit Lori Andersons blog. She's the hostess. Once there, just scroll (about half way down) the list, to locate the other artists links and their blogs!!!




Now don't forget to check out Lorelei's  blog to see the Bead Soups I sent her and
what she made with them! :)




And...  to Miss Lori Anderson.... thank you for hosting (and for doing such a fab job!) and for bringing all of us bead and jewelry artists together!!  XO

    Good morning!! My post is finally up, and I am sorry I didn't get it up before now. It's been a crazy week!
    Loved what you made with the beads I sent! I see you weren't feeling the linen cording but it really turned out lovely all the same! Great idea to use the large pendant as the toggle ring for the bird toggle!! Never thought of that!!
    The beads look great together. I am so happy you had fun with it!

      Hi Lorelei!! Thank you. :) I tried soooooooo hard with the waxed linen cord. I ruined over half of it trying different things. LOL! Thank you for the challenge though, it was a learning experience. Was just at your blog and saw what you made with the soup I sent you and I LOVED IT... you did a great job! Had so much fun. Thanks again! XO

    Dhea, I love how you combined these subtle elements to make a wonderful piece that is sophisticated and understated. More to come with the leftovers? I'm following you so I don't miss it! P.S. love your amazing lampwork, and intrigued with your custom banner work. Definitely something for my future consideration. If anyone hasn't already checked them out PLEASE DO!

    Dhea,
    I've been checking out the beads you two have been making and LOVE them! Now I get to see what you do with someone else's beads and its gorgeous! The colors are so peaceful and I love how you changed the clasp!

    How wonderful that you got such inspiring pieces from your partner.
