Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal - At Last!

The day has come!
Bead Soup Blog Hop and Reveal!
And what a party it has been this year!
My partner, Shirley Moore, is a seed beader.  I am a lampwork bead maker!
I can hardly wait to see what she made with the soup I sent her!
Here's a link to her blog!
Have a look and enjoy!

I'm anxious to get to her blog, so I'll be going there first!
Now, here comes my reveal.
According to the rules,
we can send whatever we want in the way of beads to our partner, but we must include a focal and clasp.
We must use the focal and clasp that was sent to us.
The rest is up to us.
Now, I loved the focal and clasp that Shirley sent to me!
Wow!
And, because of Shirley's generosity, I was able to make 3 pieces of wearable art.
Now, the only thing I wasn't able to use in time for the hop was this beautiful silk scarf that Shirley hand dyed!
Gorgeous!
I am going to use it as soon as I learn how to nuno felt.

Isn't that scarf beautiful?
Note that the pendant and the clasp that Shirley sent me are featured with that amazing scarf!
So, are you ready for the reveal?
Here goes!

Isn't this set gorgeous?
The crystal focal really makes this piece!
I used the pearls, memory wire, and other components to make the necklace and earrings.
You won't see the clasp here because I didn't use it in this piece.
Now, on to the next Bead Soup mix.
You'll see the other focal that Shirley sent me in this piece.  You'll also see the clasp, but I didn't use it as a clasp.  As soon as I saw the toggle, I realized that the the two beaded pieces of the toggle were beautiful beaded beads.  Guess what, they are included in the charms I used in this necklace. 
I absolutely love it!
I made a lucet cord for the back of this necklace, and it hangs beautifully.
Thank you, Shirley!
You challenged me.  I hope that you like what I did with your Soup!
Thanks, Lori, for hosting this party!

Now, off you go!  Check out the other blogs in the party!
I'm sure we'll run into each other at one party or another!
Have fun!
This was fun!

    And I have to stop checking out your dog every time I visit your blog - I've got two little corgis already, but still I keep heading over to greyhound rescue pages (and I live close to the N. Florida tracks). Last week i even started looking to see how I could foster.

    I love both pieces, but the second in particular speaks to me. I love all the dangles and the colour scheme is so rustic and gorgeous. Great idea to use the clasp in the front.

    I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.

    AWESOME work! I love it!

    I love what you did with Shirley's soup. The first piece is so pretty. But I really love copper and dangles, so that second piece really appeals to me. And I love the fact that you used her seed beaded beads as dangles in that piece. So lovely.

    What a clever way to use the clasp! I love both the pieces you designed but for different reasons: the first one for the blingy crystal focal and gorgeous purple beads (my favourite colour) and the cute little flower spacers on the earrings; and the second one for the wonderful coppery tones and the clever charms.

    I like how you thought outside of the box and didn't use the clasp as a clasp. Sometimes they are so pretty that it's hard NOT to use them as they're intended.
