After working for a few days on my beautiful bead soup sent to me from my partner, Kelli Jacobson, I am ready to reveal my first ever creations from the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party!
I sat down and pondered on the items I was given, and came up with two whimsical creations. A pair of earrings, and a necklace.
While most people would probably use the clasp they were sent to close a necklace or a bracelet, I thought...."Why not do something different!?"
So I created a pair of asymmetrical earrings! I utilized the beautiful silver clasp, the flourite beads, some of the #8 Seed Beads, and the Purple Crystal Rondelles! I just absolutely LOVE these earrings!
Then I figured, while I'm on this asymmetrical kick, I'll make something equally stunning out of the other items. For the necklace, I utilized the GORGEOUS focal pendant, the polymer beads, the #8 Seed Beads, the brilliant purple craft wire and the lavender ribbon. It turned out just as I had envisioned it! I love it. I hope you do too!
I have to thank my partner, Kelli Jacobson, for sending me such beautiful things to work with.
