The party is over! I’m talking about Lori Andersen’s Bead Soup Blog Party, which I joined last month. My partner, Shiraz from Secret Song Designs, send me this amazing stash of bead soup.
And I ended up making 4 pieces for the soup party, though I plan to make more pieces with the leftover supplies. First, I made two necklaces. For one, I took the carved rose bead and inserted wire through it and made it into a pendant. Then I used white ribbon to make it into a necklace. It is long enough to be worn with the other necklace I made using the sparkling beads and glass beads she sent me, which I finished off with a hook-style clasp.
The other two pieces I made are a pair of earrings and a bracelet. I combined wire with some of the beads in my soup to make the earrings and dangled some of the butterfly beads from each one. For the bracelet, I used the toggle clasp I was sent and a mix of the glass, seed beads, Czech crystals, and more butterfly beads.
For a complete list of bead soup participants, head over to the Bead Soup Blog. Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and check out some amazing jewelry designs!

How cute are the necklaces. It goes so well with your blog’s name.
At first sight I didn’t like the rose, but it does work with the white ribbon.
The bracelet is also very nice. I love butterflies and bracelet, so it is definitely the winner for me.

Tammy, I just loved both the bracelet and the necklace. All of your pieces are just fabulous.

Great makes. I am working my way up the bead soup list rather than down it. Seen some great things so far today. :o)

Such soft, pretty colors! I love the idea of designing two necklaces that may be worn together or separately. Brilliant!
September 17, 2011 at 4:59 pm
All of these are fabulous! I love seeing what you’ve made with the pieces I sent you. I had no idea what kind of thing you would come up with when I put the bead soup together and you’ve done an amazing job. The bracelet is my favorite!

How lovely! We’re all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!
Enjoy the hop,

What delicate pieces. The first two would look great worn together.
September 19, 2011 at 12:49 am
Very nice, so cute and romantic looking. <3
September 19, 2011 at 11:40 am
is it wrong that I adore the little metal containers some of your beads came in?
Love the pieces you made as well, but the containers now facinate me…
September 19, 2011 at 11:47 am
Very soft and feminine! Love the ribbon on the necklace. 🙂
September 19, 2011 at 12:45 pm
pretty pieces, love how soft they look

All of the pieces are so pretty. I like the way the two necklaces can work together.
September 19, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Pretty designs, I love blue and white
September 19, 2011 at 8:14 pm
The bracelet and earrings really turned out sweet. But the carved rose pendant and the beaded necklace to wear it with are beautiful. Very dainty and feminine. I love the rose being on the ribbon and then the beaded necklace to wear with it.
September 19, 2011 at 9:28 pm
What a fun assortment of pieces you cooked up! Lovely, lovely, lovely!
September 20, 2011 at 2:15 pm
I think your two necklaces would look really pretty worn together. They are pretty on their own of course, but at the moment I am loving mixed layers and multi-strands worn at the same time.
September 20, 2011 at 4:46 pm
Such lovely, feminine pieces – great job! 🙂
September 20, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Very pretty! Love the soft, light colors!
September 20, 2011 at 11:29 pm
So dainty and feminine! I really like the bracelet and earring set. Very pretty!
September 21, 2011 at 10:00 am
I am so sorry I am so late , but my computer dug in it’s heels and said I’m nota-gonna go that fast:^)
Your designs are nothing short of amazing.
Be blessed to be a blessing

Such pretty designs, nice work.
September 26, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Tammy,
You did a wonderful job. I love that you hung the flower pendant from ribbon. It makes it so feminine. The colors you had to work with are yummy as well. I like Maggie’s suggestion of pairing the two necklaces together also. They would look great together.

I am slowly working my way through the soup…very slowly. But I’m glad I got to yours. The pieces are lovely, very feminine and sweet.
September 28, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Lovely “soft” pieces. Great job!
September 28, 2011 at 9:40 pm
