Bead Soup Blog Party - Bead Hoarder's Edition

First, Thank you Lori Anderson for hosting another Bead Soup Blog Party.  This is my third and I've enjoyed meeting other Beaders across the US through this platform.  BSBP is back!



Second, Thank you Annita Wilson, my BSBP partner.  She sent me some awesome beads.  And it was fun working with them.  So, here were the beads that were sent to me....

 I started making jewelry with many of the components but only happily finished a few ....
The beautiful yellow green and black cut stone was made into a tassel pendant for this long necklace.  The chain is made up of white shell beads and gold Czech glass beads.  A fun, long bohemian necklace. 

Next, I split up the pair of purple, magenta and turquoise blue puffy rectangles and made a bracelet with many handmade components.  The faceted beads are polymer clay.  Check out how they are made here:  http://cabewoman.blogspot.com/2017/02/handmade-polymer-clay-beads.html. 

 
I love how this bracelet turned out.  The colors go together so well!
Lastly, these beaded bead earrings were made with the strand of AB purplish beads. 

Thank you again to Annita.  I loved working with the beads. 
Here's the beads I sent her:  
Check out her blog to see what she did with them:  http://awjewelryandbeadwork.blogspot.com/

And make sure to check out all the Bead Soup Blog Hop participants by checking them out here:  http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2017/03/welcome-to-bead-soup-blog-party-bead.html

Stay tuned.  I have a leather bracelet that was started with the green shell beads that will soon be finished!

    All your pieces are wonderful! I love the idea of putting that first pendant with all the white so it pops.

    Wow, you do beautiful work. I never would have thought of pairing the focal with white - looks fabulous. I love your clay beads; they match so well, and the 3 part component to that bracelet is awesome and organic. I've not been able to pull of that style yet. Everything is amazing. great job

    The white totally enhances the colors in the stone. I wouldn't have thought to choose them to go together, but you rocked it and I learned something! Bracelet and earrings are sweet, but the necklace is outstanding!

    Gorgeous statement necklace! The white beautifully frames that stunning, colorful focal and the tassel is just fun! I think this necklace would make a great summer accent.

    You began with a beautiful soup and ran with it! Your choice to keep the palette simple on that necklace makes that focal pop like nobody's business. It's a stunner.

    Everything is beautiful, but the bracelet is absolutely fabulous! I thought those beads were some kind of stone-they are perfect with that focal....I have to follow that link and see how those beads are made!

    Everything is oh so pretty. I love that you used the agate focal the way you did (upside down??) maybe. The white tassel picking up the white in the bead is a striking contrast to the dark colors. The bracelet is gorgeous I love all the different beads and elements you used!

    LOVE what you made. That necklace is so simple, but stunning. And that bracelet!! Oh lawdy! I adore how well your polymer clay beads match the focal. It's really divine.
