This challenge all began with a blog post from Lori Anderson
asking if there were those who would like to participate in a variation
of her Bead Soup Blog Party.
As a follower of An Artist's Year Off and Pretty Things,
both of which are Lori's blogs,
and
I love them both,
I decided,
How fun!
I was partnered with
Stacey M. Curry.
Here is what I received from Stacey.
There was a bracelet
and
there was a necklace.
Nummy and fun.
I was tempted to leave things the same, but
the goal was to try to make something new
from the old.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Here's what I made!
I made a necklace and bracelet.
I reluctantly took the necklace apart. I decided to keep the chain and many of the charms on the chain.
I added a felted wool cord that I made.
I also made 3 lampwork flowers.
I used the smaller charms as centers for the flowers.
I love it!
Thank you, Stacey!
For the bracelet, I used a Vintage bracelet wire, and I wrapped that bangle in a silk cord that I had dyed.
I added a focal from the bracelet and more charms.
How fun is that?
Stacey, thank you for the inspiration.
Lori, Thank you for the challenge!
