Many thanks to our host and creator of this wonderful event, Lori Anderson, of Pretty Things Blog
I was thrilled to have Lee Anne Messerschmidt selected as my partner for the 7th Bead Soup Party, she sent a beautiful soup mix of greens and purples in Czech glass and enameled steel that she created.
I wanted to used the focal that Lee Anne made as a dangle bit..attached that to a ceramic flower I had made..Lee Anne also made the enameled wire beads..

It screams spring! Love it.
This is so lovely!! You did a good job!
Oh wow, this is so cool - just gorgeous!! I understand not wanting to 'ruin' things and taking the time to practice - you'll get it and I'm sure it will be a fun learning experience along the way.
I love it!! Really, exceptionally inventive and just downright pretty.
I could have never imagined that,that soup could be turned into that piece. Would never have had the insight to make it so very pretty.
Fantastic job!
Love love love the necklace. Definitely my style.
This is one of my fav piece of the hop so far. GORGEOUS.
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
Maria Rosa..I must admit that out of all 7 Bead Soup events this was the most challenging for me and i reworked this several times. Each time I thought it was done and took the photos I'd see some placement wasn't right or other design issue popped up..
the colors of the soup mix,were perfect,all the bits were lovely..but I'd never worked with enameled steel wire and smaller beads..Of course BSPBhop is all about being challenged ..and it was fun..though a little humbling
sigh, I know what you mean. I was wrapping a leaf, holding it firmly so as to protect it I thought, only I snapped it in half, made me sad. Nice organic feel to yours, wonderful soup to play with!
Oooooh, I adore your finished necklace! Great job and hope you're having as much fun on the Blog hop as I am! :-D
It is a work of art.
Fantastic necklace, love it!!!
I love it Nan! This looks like it wears beautifully!
Great necklace! So many pretty pieces in it.
i absolutely love what you came up with. the necklace is gorgeous!!
Great use of your soup and beautiful designs!
This is an absolutely gorgeous necklace. Congratulations.
Your necklace is one that I would wear and wear and wear. I love everything about it!
Very pleasing to the eyes!Congrats!
It's a so beautiful necklace. For me this would be a favorite piece, I think.
What a sweet necklace! It looks like it came right out of the pages of a beading magazine! Excellent work!!
Emily
Just adorable! You did a good job.

Strong but joyful, rustic but chic... I know many good worlds for your good necklace, but unfortunately not in English!

A stunning design. I particularly like the strong sense of movement in the necklace.
Lovely, very lovely, necklace. You received such a nice soup mix, and you really did it justice.
