The soup mix included lots of copper pieces..focals ,beads and bead caps, that Molly made and enameled ..fun chains, faceted Czech glass, and glass beads. There was so much ,and all of it wonderful, that I just kept making things..<br />
so...here we go...<br />

Molly provided 2 copper focals, I had originally thought to alter this one to make a bracelet ..but changed my mind about that.. I had drilled 2 holes at the bottom for the bracelet connector...so riveted a loop to hold some dangles instead plus, changed the patina color a bit to match the turquoise knotted leather..</div>

This heart had riveted holes that were off set and it proved too challenging, so I drilled a centered hole to string the faceted Czech beads and used some of the beautiful chain and the enameled clasp from the soup mix , I left the riveted hole open as a texture.<br />

Many thanks to our host and creator of this wonderful event, Lori Anderson, of <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2013/03/the-7th-bead-soup-blog-party-first.html">Pretty Things Blog</a><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

While I loved everything about this soup mix as I worked along I felt my skill level wasn't quite up to working with the stiffer steel pieces...I did incorporate some but I did hold some back until I have a chance to practice a bit more with steel wire..might sound silly but I just couldn't face ruining them.<br />
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..<br />

I've been fortunate to have participated in all 7 events..I was also a contributor to Lori's book based on the Bead Soup Party blog hop...if you've not seen this book..you really must check it out..filled with wonderful designs and information.<br />
This time around Lori has paired me with Lee Anne Messerschmidt of<br />
<a href="http://wiredhammerednworn.wordpress.com/">Wired Hammered nworn</a> on wordpress. I'm very excited to work with the soup Lee Anne sent, beautiful Czech beads ,lovely enameled discs, headpins and really cool enameled wire beads...I love the unusual focal too. these arrived wrapped in a lovely hand painted paper ...this will be very best kind of challenge,as I've never worked with enamel...<br />
Here are the soup ingredients from Lee Anne..I appropriated her group photo that she beautifully organized..<br />

It's that time again.. Bead Soup Party sign ups begin Friday..Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Party Blog Hop is amazing..I've been fortunate to have participated in all 6 previous BSBParties, it's soo much fun...Lori is hosting this event only once this year..you really don't want to miss out..so many fine designers creating stunning designs from mystery soup mixes..<br />
follow the link over to Lori's blog to read all about this event...and sign up this weekend.Spirited Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05177223122928766532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970224726085094475.post-21102775570846323172013-01-12T15:20:00.000-06:002013-01-12T15:20:20.536-06:00Memories and Thanks<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome to Lori Anderson's Memories and Thanks blog hop.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I had set aside a little redbird nugget for myself, and when I first signed up for Lori's blog hop, I thought it would be a perfect focal, because Marianna was fond of redbirds..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I love redbirds too ,as does my mom. There is quite a colony nesting in our neighborhood..their territory doesn't range very far from where they were born...they seem bright and cheery..up early, busy bird..but shy as well and more than just a little territorial ...I hear one peeping in the hedges outside right now..</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">It started me thinking about my mom and what a funny person she is..neither this or that...grumpy and happy too...able to delight in small things...she is now headed toward 90 and still amazingly spry and alert..smart..common sense like you can't believe...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">What started out to be a memory for Marianna has ended up being more of a Thanks to my mom ..I was certainly a challenge for her from the very beginning....a most willful, free thinking, busy child ..somehow different from the rest of her family ..she ( and dad too) took time to teach me about so many things..not so much LIFE in the big way..but how things work in general ..she taught me cursive writing by making the letters into funny images, on road trips, we would have discussions about the crops and animals we passed by, we planted gardens and flowers, and she read to me, everyday. In looking back I realize how fortunate I was to have a mom who would spend so much time with me..even if she didn't "get" me..</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">Thanks mom, you taught me more than you will ever know.</span></span><br />

I like Dr. Oz and I've been dancing around all Fall with dropping some pounds.. one of the things on my Loooong To Do list ( not resolutions, which seem to fail) for 2013 is to get back to Cooking.. good simple healthy meals. ..Lorelei's diet challenge seems like a good way to start out the new year and start COOKING, yikes..Spirited Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05177223122928766532noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970224726085094475.post-77804723025818927632012-11-30T22:39:00.000-06:002012-11-30T22:39:11.505-06:00It's coming ...The Holidays are on the way!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been neglecting my poor little blog..Lori just reminded us to Blog..so before heading to get some sleep...I give you a rambling thought for the day...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is December 1st..how the heck did that get here soo quickly..and in one month, the Year will be over..a whole year has zoomed past.. and 2013 is looming..<br />
Of course, we have that pesky Mayan calendar stuff to deal with...I've got my money riding on us still being here on Dec 22nd..and 23rd etc..same ol' same ol'.. there seems to be a lot of varying thoughts what the ending of that calendar could mean.. the idea that something might happen to awaken us as a world is interesting...but I am not one to want life overly dramatic..a nice steady pace is much preferred...no hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, rising tides..aliens from another planet ..etc<br />
I would ,however,like to place a request in to the Universe...just a small thing ..<br />
that everyone on the planet become 10% smarter overnight ,BAM!..and 25% more compassionate..that's not a huge wish but I do think it might prove to be earth shaking.. yea I know ..not gonna happen...still a girl can wish..<br />
sooo...<br />
Here's a Wise Holiday Owl<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't believe the day is finally here ..we've waited so long to share this amazing book of Lori Anderson's ..having to keep this secret, for almost 2 years, was soo difficult..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It has been my good fortune to be a participant in 6 of the Bead Soup Party Blog hops and they were all great fun. So you can image how thrilled I was when Lori invited me to be a contributor in her Bead Soup Book..</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The soup mix I received was created by the very talented Barbara Bechtel ..I fell in love with the bird "fly" focal and immediately knew what I wanted to do..showcase it in a different manner and also to do something that was completely out of the box for me..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That focal shouted "I want Filigree"! Uh ok? I'd never done even one tiny thing that was wrapped filigree or anything else filigree..but when the muse is shouting at you..well, every beader knows, one must obey The Muse...oh and it's sparkly too..yep that's out of the box.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The basic rules for Bead Soup Party is that you must use the focal and the clasp..it's up to you to use the coordinating beads or items from your stash.The vision of this design, already forming in my head, didn't lend itself to the warm tone beads..and while I didn't want to be a pill,I was compelled to go forward with the image in my head...so those extra beads were returned to Lori . I loved what she created with them, showing what a very different piece could be created using similar ingredients.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bet you are surprised..similar focal ,size and color... Very different necklaces.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh and one other thing...my hat is off to all of you who submit pieces to magazines..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">writing out the instructions was more difficult than I ever imagined.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Heather Powers received this soup mix from me ..of course none of us knew which person would receive the ingredients we'd sent in..</span></div>

<br />
It's here...Bead Soup Party reveal day #1. <br />
<br />
Lori Anderson is the creator and master mind of this wonderful blog hop, the Bead Soup Party, I have been fortunate to participate in all 6 events. Thank you Lori, for all your hard work that has made this event possible..This latest hop has 400 participants, there will be 3 separate reveal days which should make it easier for us to make our way around all the blogs and have time to leave comments and check out the wonderful creations.<br />
<br />
I was soooooo fortunate to be partnered with the amazing Cindy Wimmer of <a href="http://sweetneadstudio.com/">Sweet Bead Studio</a>,she is a multi-talented person and I Love her copper wire work..I have to admit having this in mind when I selected ( made) the ingredients for her soup.<br />
Cindy sent a wonderful grouping of silver soup..that in itself was out of my normal range..<br />
something that continually comes to my mind with each Bead Soup Party is that I am not an accomplished Beader, I don't have the tools or stunning stash that I've come to see many of you do( bead hoarders).<br />
I can't always lay my hand on the right jump rings, the right gauge wires in the proper metals( as in,that bead hole is too small for 20g, where is the silver 22g, shoot it won't take a patina)..akkk. It's really amazing that I get anything put together that doesn't look like the dogs dinner.<br />
This time I decided to do a little funny thing..I held back a few of the beads from the soup sent to Cindy just to see what it would look like for partners to use some of the same components in their Bead Soup pieces.<br />
Ok...let's get to it..Ta Da!!<br />
<br />
Cindy sent a lovely vintage brooch as the focal, I encircled it with turquoise rounds to showcase the focal.<br />
The silver tones in the soup ranged from a soft pewter to shiny silver , adding a darkening patina helped to blend them together. I split the Green Girl clasp between the 2 pieces, the hooky part in this necklace, the link went into the bracelet.<br />

<br />
In the necklace- brooch focal, silver discs, chain, and 1/2 the clasp,from the soup... the textured turquoise ceramic ovals and orange jade nuggets are similar to part of the soup sent to Cindy. I added a braided brown leather piece to the back with the chain to visually bulk it up and balance the look of the large focal.<br />

close up on the focal..it was a little trickier than I imagined to wire that floating, circle of turquoise beads to the brooch.<br />

There will be 3 different reveal days,different participants work being shown on each of these days, allowing us time to view the amazing work ,without becoming overwhelmed and losing our places in the blog hops. This is something I seem to always do.<br />
<br />
I was so fortunate to be paired with the amazing Cindy Wimmer of <a href="http://www.sweetbeadstudio.com/">Sweet Bead Studio</a>. She sent the soup ingredients in a beautiful jewelry bag..love it.<br />

These wonderful ingredients open up a world of possibilities..Patina or not, add color or stay in a neutral palette??????<br />
<br />
<br />
The focal is a vintage silver tone brooch..it has tiny slits and openings where the designs has been raised..<br />
I intend to use these for connecting bits, rather then drill or punch into it.<br />

I know..These sneak peeks are just frustrating..don't you squint your eyes and cross them too, trying to see what those ingredients might be.<br />

399 people have signed up to participate in this spectacular event, hosted by Lori Anderson of <a href="http://prettythings.blogspot.com/">Pretty Things Blog.</a><br />
Due to the huge response, Lori has decided to split the reveal date into 3 parts..which I think is a brilliant idea..if you've either participated in this event or just joined in the blog hop to view the stunning designs, you will know it takes some time to work your way thru even a third this number of blogs..and I promise you will want to study the designers pieces ,as well as leave comments.<br />
<br />
Please go over to Lori's blog to read more about this amazing event.<br />

Seems the last month or so I've just been playing catch up with all manner of distractions keeping me from the studio..when all I really want to do is make beads.<br />
<br />
Hopefully today, after some minor errand running I will get my wish, I've been playing around with a number of ideas for new pieces and would like to get those into production this weekend..<br />
Hope all of you have a fun and safe Holiday..let the Summer begin!!!<br />

The photo above is just a portion of the bead soup Nicole sent, but I decided to work with the Fall color selection. I loved the penny charms and wanted to use at least one of them but it just didn't quite fit in the main design so I created an everyday necklace, stringing the penny charm onto brown leather cording, a ceramic bee button is used as a clasp and a ceramic bead cap is wire wrapped onto the cord, it's stationary and doesn't slide along the cord. A little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Czech</span> flower button accents the bead cap<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5skDIX9D5MeNcFr-MsZ2k7xem8cug50RAZKkH0n0cvA0tXKzPOXqOu2R3s2LJk97OO6qtAP178cDeoCNEj1lF2Vz7WEmPD8A1k5SR3fSWWYtVWKT_63awFWCiiuJTnnuJL1IK1bVJMKQL/s1600/IMG_4758.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715715429457435538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5skDIX9D5MeNcFr-MsZ2k7xem8cug50RAZKkH0n0cvA0tXKzPOXqOu2R3s2LJk97OO6qtAP178cDeoCNEj1lF2Vz7WEmPD8A1k5SR3fSWWYtVWKT_63awFWCiiuJTnnuJL1IK1bVJMKQL/s200/IMG_4758.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jwaLO3Fnm8dqcdkxPU6RNyRQwBN1_wsnLbeTtLrMFXCC_sYhETDaudLMFufdarbGqq6TDPH4zps3sunyjFMs60EJOS9h2pcUySujsJ3Jc3KX7FbquX7jo2zi8znhCPvQL0GiJESo8Eci/s1600/IMG_4760.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715715292220576194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jwaLO3Fnm8dqcdkxPU6RNyRQwBN1_wsnLbeTtLrMFXCC_sYhETDaudLMFufdarbGqq6TDPH4zps3sunyjFMs60EJOS9h2pcUySujsJ3Jc3KX7FbquX7jo2zi8znhCPvQL0GiJESo8Eci/s320/IMG_4760.jpg" /></a><br />Typical of every Bead Soup party, I reworked the main design about 3 times.The first piece featured wrapped copper. It was quickly apparent that I needed a lot more practice with that technique.The overall look just was not what I had originally imagined and the piece , in general,seemed drab. Back to the drawing board..<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">disassembling</span> the whole thing , just keeping the wire wrapped focal intact.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijgVn9Mf6tAkpMnM2MFrwsR7uek9HDDDxkN0X44K3q1ruvA3nFX7SvVXKTv9QvNJTMaolJseE_E0Bbdep1Na2mW08hV_geEgBa0eGugW44tWOlTqKPzufBVtV3Vjmwe65ysVMW87LG3yLj/s1600/IMG_4774.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 256px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715715110821413810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijgVn9Mf6tAkpMnM2MFrwsR7uek9HDDDxkN0X44K3q1ruvA3nFX7SvVXKTv9QvNJTMaolJseE_E0Bbdep1Na2mW08hV_geEgBa0eGugW44tWOlTqKPzufBVtV3Vjmwe65ysVMW87LG3yLj/s400/IMG_4774.jpg" /></a> I haven't used much handmade glass in the past, Nicole's beads were beautiful rich color combos and fun to work with. I loved the little pear toggle, but it was pretty shiny for this piece so I toned it down using the smashed, hard boiled egg trick. The materials used in this necklace were handmade glass leaf and beads from the soup mix, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Indonesian</span> ivory glass triangles,tiny <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Czech</span> glass flower buttons, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Czech</span> glass and wood bead dangles,ceramic bead and bead cap,copper,steel and brass wire and silver pear toggle clasp also part of the soup mix<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Rhea5JzwCHYZWJoAPJHNsGgNi7HeJmpcSUsM7ESZ9OEmFHQTRukQHYZk-8Sl4K6FykTB5NViXKZ9wVNXgSGqmA726VNerdqJMeQfy7NO_Eci1ACFtQSTCKCm31kRQKvUmKCK2_Uabqlh/s1600/IMG_4769.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I received the Bead Soup mix from my partner<a href="http://nvalentine.blogspot.com/"> Nicole Valentine</a>, there are 2 different color sets, a lovely springy soup of green and blue, the other, a beautiful autumn color combination of browns, greens and beige. All the components , except the clasp, were made by Nicole, she is one talented lady. The clasp, at the bottom of the photo, is a wonderful silver pear shaped toggle. Nicole also included some fun penny charms, that she also makes , which are made from Canadian one cent pieces, an extra bonus is the reverse side has coppery maple leaves.<br />
