Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party!
What is a Bead Soup Blog Party?
Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following:
~ A focal
~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw)
~ Some coordinating spacers or beads
My partner was Lisa Liddy of Joolz by Lisa. She sent me a wonderful focal to start with.
Here is what I started with .
~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw)
~ Some coordinating spacers or beads
My partner was Lisa Liddy of Joolz by Lisa. She sent me a wonderful focal to start with.
Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.
Here's what I made! I Love this focal.
Here is what I made with the veggie beads

hello gorgeous xxx
Love both but I really enjoyed the Eastery veggies! What a playful necklace to wear and I'm sure you will get loads of compliments!
ReplyDeleteLinda, they turned out great! The first necklace is very cool...love what you did with the chain links. And the veggie one was a great idea! Very outside the box!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun pieces! I love all the chain! So hip and cool!
ReplyDeletethese are really amazing. I love the colors and I love that little fish dangling from the 1 focal!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pieces! They are both well composed in terms of both colors and textures; that first focal is especially cool and makes me think of lilies beside a pond. Great work!
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely pieces. The veggie one makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhat FUN! I love the veggie necklace and absolutely adore the blue and silver piece. I have noticed a reoccuring theme of sea / ocean / beach designs on the the hop. There must be some magic floating around!
I decided to start at the bottom of the list (I'm in the middle at #95). I hope you get a really good response from the swap/hop -- So much fun!

ReplyDeleteI love that focal. Really, really different. Never seen anything like that!
Thanks for sharing your creations.
Enjoy the day!

#209 here...beautiful...great job...
ReplyDeleteOOOh! So pretty and sweet!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic. I knew you'd rock it! Love the whimsical garden, and that top one is a favorite. I have that silver pendant and have been stumped for two years now on what to DO with it!
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT work!
Really really pretty! The colors in both are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBoth necklaces are fabulous! Love your wirework!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. Both pieces are so beautiful. The fish pendant is so creative and the veggies are looking so cute in the second necklace.
ReplyDeleteWow, great work! Both piece are awesome! The veggie piece is so fun!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Great mix of components!
ReplyDeletelove both necklaces, the fish and purple and lime green look great together. My favorite is the veggie necklace I love this and would totally wear it.
ReplyDeleteYou got a great soup mix! I love what you did with it, but the veggies necklace is my fav.
ReplyDeleteI really like your first piece. The way you designed the focal, the eye just zooms right in there. Perfect...
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on both...really like the first design!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful variety! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces what a beautiful way to put soup together.
ReplyDeleteI am really digging the garden (no pun intended, really;)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of summer, gardens, my grandparents when I was little...its just a happy necklace!
Wow! Those are awesome! I love them both! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the dramatic pendant in the tope necklace! And how sweet is your veggie bead creation?!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started looking at your piece, I thought.."Oh, what a great design!" and then I scrolled down and realized how long it was and thought..."DANG, GIRL!". See, I'm currently obsessed with long necklaces, so this definitely speaks to my OCD. Wonderful piece!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's too fun.
ReplyDeleteBoth necklaces are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteboth are great.the second necklace is such a 'happy' necklace :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Love the veggie necklace. Who doesn't need a reminder every now and then to eat their veggies? :)
ReplyDeleteYour soup was pretty awesome and you definitely met the challenge. Both of those necklaces would be so much fun to wear!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are really,really fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the veggie necklace how fun!!!! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your work is gorgeous!!! You did a wonderful job with your soup beads. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I feel so unambitious when I see that multiple people whipped up several designs with their Bead Soup Components. You get an A+ for sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat designs, very elegant and wearable.
Both pieces are great. That first one ~ amazing!
ReplyDeleteI like your choice for the colors and your wirework is inspired for using the silver focal! A lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing focal, love the necklace you have created for it. The veggie necklace is just as lovely.
ReplyDeleteadorable garden necklace! Awesome designs.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you treated the focal. I also love the layout. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBoth designs are so pretty! They are so fresh and perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to receive such a nice selection and you know what, you really did it justice. The first necklace is def a fave ^_^ Virginie ViviBijoux.com
ReplyDeleteThe second necklace was fun and whimsical! Totally too cute! The first necklace was moody and dramatic--and completely beautiful! Congratulations and Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe veggie necklace made me smile, and the focal necklace made me drool! LOVE the colors in that one. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteLove that focal and what you did with it. Beautiful. The veggie necklace is lovely too. You can wear that for Easter.
ReplyDeleteColor me...Impressed! Wow! you came up with some terrific designs. You are one Soup-er talented lady.
ReplyDeleteloved your bead soup! and its funny that it had actual veggies in it! I loved both necklaces, I was wondering how you would incorperate all that into one necklace, its much better the way you did it, couldn't really imagone the veggies and the focal together! great job!
ReplyDeleteReally really Splendid beads were sent to you..what a thoughtful sender..they are magnificent. And your creations are wonderful..very beautiful! Very impressive Soup!
ReplyDeleteLove the purples and greens together and the links mixed in with the chain...great focal too. Fun veggie necklace - very summer garden!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the blue piece so elegant. The veggies are just plain fun. Love your designs Be Blessed
ReplyDeleteYummy soup, yummy pieces!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty necklaces! They are both beautiful, though I am a little partial to the first simply because I love blue and green. ;D Don't get me wrong, though, I like the second a lot, too. The flowers make me smile, happy that spring is coming. The asymmetry in that one makes it seem more organic, like you plucked it fresh from the garden. ;) I like that both were done with silver; gives them a bright, clean look. Lovely designing!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are awesome. I love the all the contrasts between the two. Sorry for the late comment, I'm still hopping :)
ReplyDeleteyou had an excellent soup! and you did an awesome job as well! You take beautiful pics as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pieces! I love the hilltribe potsticker looking jobby ;)
ReplyDeleteThe veggies necklace turned out so cute!
Fabulous BEAD SOUP Friend!!! I love what you designed with all your components... Beautiful work!Thanks for sharing your creativity!!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

ReplyDeleteVery pretty necklaces! I especially like the second one because it's so fun and colourful. It's like it just saying: "Yay, it's summer!!"
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing focal! I love your asymmetrical style :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love both!

ReplyDeleteJackie
