7th Bead Soup Blog Party REVEAL!!

Well it's time for the big reveal!   I got the most BEAUTIFUL bead soup from Elsie Deliz-Fonseca.  She sent me a lot of stuff that I normally don't get to work with a lot.  She sent GORGEOUS handmade polymer clay beads and focals, a beautiful box clasp and a toggle clasp, jasper, crystal, wood, shell, copper, copper chain, leather cording, and the list goes on!!  It was literally like opening up a Christmas Present!   THANK YOU ELSIE!! :)

Now on to my creations.  I wanted to make something that I would enjoy wearing.  I don't have very many "multiple strand" necklaces so that is the direction in which I went.  I don't work with copper a lot, so this presented a real treat for me!  I hope you like what I created!!   Thank you LORI ANDERSON for yet another fun and creative time with this Blog Party!! :)



This was my WONDERFUL bead soup from Elsie!  I didn't use all the beads, but that's only because I have so many ideas rattling around in my head that I don't know where to start!  I just love this bead soup, it is INCREDIBLE!!
