Ever woke up and thought, "Today is going to be amazing!" only to realize you're already 3 hours & 2 projects behind schedule before your feet even hit the floor? Yep, I'm running a little behind schedule, but I finished my work for the Soup last night.

my Bead Soup Creations.
Pendant: lampwork & wood beads with stone disc spacers |
Necklace with clasp, lampwork & drop beads from soup |
stone discs and wood beads from stash |
Earthy Girl Necklace |
earrings: pearl sticks from soup & knot balls from local shop |
bracelet with caramel bicones from soup |
bracelet of 5yen coins, green bicones, chain & clasp from stash |
This is the piece I feel the most proud of because it was totally spontaneous I was just playing with things on my bead table. There are not accidents. That pile of pocket change was there for a reason other than I was too lazy to find my purse.
Amazing lampwork focal with pearls & metal lotus accents |
check out the swirl |
These flower centers swirl like the piece and magically they bloomed on reveal day. |
None of these capture how great this piece is. I had to keep it simple, but I wanted you to be able to see the whole thing. So this piece spins! As you move this focal rolls up and down your decolletage. So all sides of the focal are visible. Super strong magnet clasp finishes off the piece because the focal has great weight. All right that it for me. Now Go! Check out the artistry of the other Bead Soup participants. (Psst...start with my partner...she Rocks!)

Ginger - they are gorgeous! I love your coin bracelet, too. They are all wonderful - beautiful job! ;)
ReplyDeleteReally nice makes, I agree with you, the one with the yen coins is really cool... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ginger you did a really really beautiful job with your soup very impressive and love the special gift you got from your partner. Have a great weekend & it's so nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThe lampwork you received is so beautiful and you really did it justice with your designs! I esp. love the last necklace. Great work!
ReplyDeleteYour jewellery is beautiful, and that focal is stunning. It looks like it's a hard one to photograph properly so that its true beauty shows, but I get it. And I like how you kept is simple. A truly elegant piece!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love that bracelet! And the Earthy Girl necklace is great - the clasp really works well with the design :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Ginger, these pieces are great, I absolutely love what you made! And I could kill for those lotus flower beadcaps!(btw., did you see what I made for the lava beads? These are beaded beadcaps and the form is exactly like those lotuses. What a coincidence! I have to make another post about this later.)
ReplyDeleteI also love the coin bracelet and think I will "steal" this idea for the lovely coins you sent me. And I must link your post to the lampwork artist. She lives im Hamburg and will be quite surprised her beads live in Okinawa now :-)
Thank you again, this was really fun :-)
great works!
ReplyDeleteI'm another partecipant, from Italy, I'm trying to see all other partecipant post :)

ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful creations. I can tell that you put a lot of though into them (well, except for the 'spontaneous' bracelet obviously. . .it's still super cool though). I am particularly fond of the Earthy Girl necklace and can totally see myself wearing it. Well done!

ReplyDeleteOh, my, Ginger - these are beautiful pieces! The coin bracelet is so cute, I was just playing with a coin design in my mind too, glad to see other ideas :) I love what you did with that solitair swirl bead: the bead caps and those beautiful delicate pearls in the exact same sahdes - pure perfection! I love how you used your greenhouse to take the pictures - it gives the pieces a real earthy tone. Love them all, great job!
ReplyDeleteThe coin bracelet is my favorite too.
