Welcome to the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party!
Since there were over 400 sign ups for the Bead Soup Blog Party hosted by the fabulous Lori Anderson, it was decided that the reveal dates would be placed into three groups. The first reveal was July 28th, this is the second (August 11th) and the third will be August 25th.
I'm proud to be a part of this party for the 2nd time.
Here is the soup that my new friend and my new partner in beadin' crime, Andra Weber, sent to me a little over a month ago:
I am going to try to keep this short since there are over 100 other blogs to visit this round sooooooo, here is the big reveal!
For the necklace using the focal, I used knotting cord to Macreme a silver neckwire using some of the bigger beads as accent points. For the bracelet, using the clasp, I wirewrapped the accent beads and linked them together as I wrapped. Last but definately not least, the earrings, I used the extra seed beads on embroidery thread to make the dangles and then I added the silver bead caps and attached them to the silver post earrings.
Here's a closer look at those earrings:
I can honestly say that I don't know how you seed beaders do it, I chased those little suckers EVERY stinkin' time I picked them up - because I'd drop them EVERY stinkin' time I picked them up. I bow to you, bead embroidery masters!
Please be sure to stop by and see what my partner created with the soup I sent her, Andra Weber - I for one, am on pins and needles waiting for midnight to come around to see for myself! Of course, it'll be tomorrow morning since I haven't seen midnight in about two years - ahhhh, the joys of parenthood - it's exhausting.
Until next time,
Bryna
