Bead Soup Blog Hop reveal

Today is the day for the reveal of the 8th Bead Soup Blog Hop.  I think this is my third time particpating in this annual event.  I always look forward to it as it stretches my creativity.

Lori Anderson puts on the Bead Soup Blog Hop each year.  There was a one day sign-up this year and approximately 500 people signed up.  Over the next several weeks Lori matches up two beaders and emails them with the other's contact information.  The two beaders get to know each other and exchange soup ingredients.

My bead soup partner is Billie R.S. Rothove and you can find her blog here:  Artist at Work  Be sure to visit her blog to see what she has made from the bead soup that I sent her.

Here is what Billi sent me to work with:

Hematite shapes

Hematite rounds and spacers

Painted wooden beads

Wooden spacers

Antique trade beads
Billi also included the following:


Copper findings and chain

Cloisonne beads




I decided to use the hematite beads, the painted wooden beads, the wooden spacers and the antique trading beads in one necklace.


I did some wrapped loops (I need more practice on making these)  to join the wood beads and the hematite triangles together.   I then strung the hematite rounds with the wooden spacers and the hematite spacers with the antique trade beads.

Here is a picture of the complete set that I made

Here is a close up of the spacers that I used from the bead soup mix.

Close up of the clasp from my stash.


For the next piece that I did, I used the copper findings and cloisonne beads.  I strung the cloisonne beads on beading wire and then added chain to make a necklace.




Here is a picture of the clasp that Billi sent and I used at the front of the necklace.

I still have some soup ingredients that I will be using in the next couple of weeks.  I will come back and add them to this post but will also create a new post to showcase them.

Thanks for coming by.  Be sure to visit the other 499 participants.  I have seen some of the soup pieces and they are scrumptious looking.  Here is a link to the list of participants:   http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2014/05/welcome-to-8th-bead-soup-blog-party.html

  45. I have an affinity for triangles and I love how you used them! I thought at first it would make a great bracelet component. I think you did a great job with the fun ingredients you received. Keep practicing the wrapped loops! Each one gets easier and better than the last. Thank you for sharing your creations in the 8th Bead Soup! Enjoy the day. Erin

  46. Love the geometric look of the triangles in the first necklace, and the cloisonné necklace is very pretty too.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Love the combination of ancient and modern style in your necklace, Carolyn :) Sorry to be so late visiting but I am working backwards LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  48. That was my first thought (see PiPa's comment) - you found a way with those triangles, varies shapes, colors and textures and made a necklace that looks like its moving and the earrings look like they are spinning! As far as cloisonnes are concerned, they are so beautiful that I like how you decided to string them altogether - that beauty is never too much!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Love the triangles! Your pieces are way cool! You did a really Soup-er job with your bead soup!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Wow I love the geometric set! Such great movement and each component plays up the others so beautifully. I don't usually care too much for geometric patterns but I REALLY like this. Well done1
