1st reveal complete and now on to ...
The 2nd
Reveal day for the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party has arrived and I am so
excited although a little intimidated.
After hopping through all the party goers on the first reveal, I was
completely and utterly blown away by the craftsmanship, the artistry and the
creativity of each and every one. Lori has done an amazing job yet again, this time more amazing than ever because not
only were there over 500 participants worldwide but she hasn’t been feeling
well and she is in all three reveals. Lori you are incredible, thank you for
hosting this really really really really fun party!
My
partner this time around (being my second BSBP I feel seasoned) is the amazing
Amy Severino. I think it must have been the bead fairies at work because just
before Lori announced who was partners with who, I had commented on facebook to
Amy that it would be neat if we were partnered and wow a few days later we
found out we were. I had participated in Amy’s Spring Challenge and enjoyed the
experience so much, that I have signed up for her next Spring Fling Challenge
(reveal date April 20). I realized we
were kindred spirits and was totally thrilled we were paired together for the
BSBP. Please visit Amy’s blog and she
what she has created with the soup I sent her.
 |
| The Soup I sent to Amy |
Amy sent me a wonderful soup, very challenging, oh I do love a
challenge! Here is the soup Amy sent me. I really wanted to use as much as possible if
not all the soup sent and yeah I did.

| Dragon in the Garden |
Next up "Turkish Delight"
The agate beads Amy sent where the inspiration for this, but as I started beading the agates didn't fit. They were still used, just not in the necklace. I used a jasper focal, a rivoli, cube beads, magatamas, more of the crystal's, more of the seed beads and the clasp although I did put a patina finish to the clasp to reduce the brightness.
 |
| Turkish Delight |
So I still had a small amount of seed beads and a few crystals and the pale green silk ribbon. I don't normally work with silk ribbons but I have started to incorporate it more and more into my work. I took my little remaining pile of beads, added a few and came up with this. I love it, it is so summer breeze!

| Summer Breeze |
So that is it, Amy I hope I did you proud, can't wait to see what you made.
Thank you Lori, you're the best.....this is the greatest party there is.
I have
the Beading Babes Challenge reveal tomorrow so please come and see what I have
done for that as well. Whew busy, super fun weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Once upon a time I thought I might learn beadweaving, but as you might guess from my soup, I'm focusing more on wirework.
I love what you sent to Amy too! Can't wait to see what she created.
What gorgeous collections! The first and second necklaces are amazing. I also really like the earrings that are part of the second collection. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteOh my! The "Dragon in the Garden" set is amazing! I love the copper and greens together and the way you placed the dragonfly on the flower pendant is just perfect - like they were meant for each other!
