Bead Soup Reveal is here. I gave you a sneak peak last week but now you get to see the whole necklace and earring set. My bead soup partner, Cathryn sent me some wonderful beads in Summer colors. Be sure to hop over to her
blog today and check out what she made. The first thing I made when I got down to it was the earrings.
Then I had to mull over the other beads for awhile. I knew I wanted to use the other orange open rectangle piece as a focal pendant so I made that.
I had some brass links that I had soldered so I set about placing all the other beads around and organizing them in a planned random pattern and ended up with this.
It turned out to be quite a long necklace, but that is what I wanted. I added the leather at the back to make it more comfortable and lighter weight.
This was a lot of fun and I highly recommend participating in bead swaps or challenges. Thanks to
Lori Anderson over at Pretty Things for hosting the party.
If you want to check out all the other bead soup reveals today, head on over to Lori's
blog where she has a complete list.
