5th Bead Soup Blog Party - Let's Hop!

I'm so excited to be a part of Lori Anderson's 5th Bead Soup Blog PARTY!

In January my bead soup partner Helen Kemp mailed my INGREDIENTS! 
YAAA..I LOVE receiving beautiful beads in the mail!


The ingredients consisted of 2 clasps - sterling/base metal and 25 glass beads which she made herself!
You can view and purchase Helen's beautiful beads click HERE!

Finally I came up with the perfect creative recipe to compliment the ingredients sent by Helen !


Aside from the above necklace I was able to create 2 pair of earrings!
By leaving a comment regarding this post, you will be entered to win the brown set.  One winner will be randomly picked on March 7 TH and the winner will be announced by 6 PM PST on this blog!

I have really enjoyed this experience, it has encouraged me to design with new materials and think outside of my design box..:)   I'm excited to see what the other participates have created and to gain inspiration from their designs. 
I hope you will join me for this hop and view the below participants amazing designs!

Hostess, Lori Anderson

    Hi LM
    I once had a pen-pal with your name. She was from Texas.
    Anyhow I love what you made. The chain on the necklace is so interesting and textured without looking heavy. The earrings are a perfect size and the winner of the brown pair is sure to be happy!

    I love the first pic with the bead soup using a plate and a spoon. I came up with a similar idea when posting my bead soup which I have sent to my partner. ;0)
    It is so much fun even before putting all the ingredients together!!
    What a lovely idea to explain how you made your jewelry by showing a recipe! I should do this with my next soup. :0)
    And I love your necklace with the pink disc. Such a wonderful design with all the Czech glass beads going through. I matches perfectly with the copper.
    Great job!!!

    That necklace is TOTALLY flirty, what a fitting name for it. The little dangles are precious and give the flower just an added shot of color. Really beautifully done!
