Bead Soup Party--Here's what I Made!


Sandra Neights of Marabella Jewelry Designs on Etsy was my Bead Soup partner. Be sure to visit her store. She has some beautiful pieces of handcrafted PMC pieces in her store. Gorgeous!

I was the lucky recipient of one of her pieces in my bead kit! Look at that focal! Because of that beautiful focal, I decided that it deserved to be the center of attention in my design.
As per the rules, I used the focal bead and the clasp in my design. Oh, my, it is beautiful! I can hardly wait to wear this bracelet!

Thank you, Lori, for such a wonderful match!

Bead Soup--Look What Came in the Mail!


This is it! My Bead Soup Mix. My partner in this exchange is Sandra Neights of Marabella Jewelry Designs on Etsy, and look what came in the mail. I'm drooling! The components are so soft and feminine! I love them!




























Look at the beautiful clasp and focal! ---------------------------->
The clasp is sterling. Beautiful!















Take a closer look at this focal.
------------------------------->
Sandra made this using Precious Metal Clay! Can you believe that this beautiful focal was HANDMADE by Sanrda! It's amazing!


Now, I have to let all the ideas mull around in my head. I want to design something as beautiful as I was given. Woooohoooooo!
Thank you, Sandra!

My Bead Soup Partner--Sandra Neights--aka Marabella Designs


I blogged about, and joined, Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Party. This is a virtual experience where we, the participants, are linked with a partner. My partner is Sandra Neights of Marabella Designs on Etsy, Colibri Designs on Etsy, and Sandy's Destash on Etsy! Colibri Designs is Sandra's main store right now. I wanted to who you some of the jewelry that is featured in her store.





























These earrings are simply called
"Melon." They have sterling silver earwires, and they look delicious!
















This bracelet is called "Butterscotch."
It looks nummy enough to be butterscotch! I'm getting hungry!















These Lovely Glass Bead Earrings are also available in Sandra's store. Aren't they beautiful?

Not only does Sandra make jewelry, but she blogs, too! Her blog is aptly called: Marabella Jewelry Designs. What a treat you find when you visit there.

Now, back to Bead Soup! It will be fun to see what my bead soup will be. I'll show you what I receive, and I will show you the final product! I'm looking forward to this. Thanks, Lori, for organizing this event!
