I'm a bit late and
apologize profusely for the delay. We had some computer problems and
ended up getting a new system, which took time setting up and so on
and so forth. With out further ado.......
7th Bead Soup Blog Party -- 2nd REVEAL
This is my
third time to participate in Lori Anderson's BSBP and I have enjoyed
being a part of each event! My BSBP partner this year is Tammi Sloan of My Brown Wren.
I love
Tammi's beautiful, handmade bronze pendant and toggle clasp and the
earthy bead mix that she included for the bead soup ingredients. I
know that the round beads are aragonite and after researching, I
believe that the rondelle beads are bronzite and the pebbles are
ritulated quartz.
My first
serving of bead soup is a necklace made with the bronze pendant. I
made a long wire wrapped chain using the aragonite and bronzite beads
and added some beads from my own stash. I created a sort of locket
with the pendant, adding stained papers and a piece of brass sheet at
the back. I added dangles of the ritulated quartz to the brass
sheet, behind the pendant, so it hangs from the back side of the
locket. One thing that I tried, but not sure if I like, is adding
a little patina to the pendant, to add some color to the flowers. It
didn't turn out as I had envisioned and looks a bit messy to me.
For my second serving of
bead soup, I made a bracelet using Tammi's lovely handmade toggle
clasp and some of the aragonite and bronzite beads, along with other
beads from my stash. I also made a pair of matching earrings.
And here is the set all together
Thank you, Tammi for being
such a great partner and sending a wonderfully inspiring Bead Soup!
