Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal

This is my second year participating in the BSBP, you can read about my experience by clicking on the link http://agapecreationsjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/03/bead-soup-party-reveal.html


This year my partner,  Deb Mckinnis sent me this soup


Deb owns a bead store that has a large supply of gems in a multitude of types, colors, and shapes. She sent yellow jasper, agate focal, crazy agate beads, Czech glass beads, wood rings and a pewter clasp. The summery yellow is beautiful and since I normally only work with seed beads, I was glad to have the challenge of tackling gemstones.



I started with the focal, truly it is so beautiful and I wanted to accentuate the lovely yellows, browns, and creams, so I added a beaded butterfly bale and one of the oval jasper beads. While the focal seems simple, I never actually made a butterfly bale, so this was new to me, therefore, there were a couple of false starts but I finally figured it out. In addition, the focal spins, which I think is pretty cool, I didn't have to compromise any of the beauty of the agate and that was important to me.




Then I strung jasper rounds, ovals, and crazy agate beads onto wire and finished with filigree bead caps and a copper lobster clasp. Note: I know we were to use the clasp that was sent, however, I misplaced said clasp so I had to improvise.


PARTICIPANTS:

Please start anywhere on the list -- bottom, middle, first from each section -- mix it up!  I hope you'll take some time over the week to visit people, and I'm going to add a great giveaway later next week to give you even more incentive to visit these wonderful people.  With it being Mother's Day weekend, many people will be a little late in posting, so come back around in a few days to them and g

  14. I *love* your butterfly bail. One of my friends does the intricate seed bead work too, and she tells me all about her "false starts," so I know exactly what you're talking about. That would drive me bonkers! LOL!

    I adore seed beads, but generally use them as accents in beaded work. Aren't I awful?

    I almost misplaced my clasps too!

    Beautiful work!
    <3,
    Andrea

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  31. Very beautiful! The color of that focal and the way you created the bail is amazing! Yellow is an odd color- I can't wear it in clothing but as a beautiful piece of jewelry it is absolutely gorgeous! It's so rich looking. Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Eow, beautiful piece - I specially love how you put the bail on that focal. Simple, but really elegant!
    Alenka

    ReplyDelete

And also gets your trusted seed beads in the mix. Thank you for sharing your creations in the 8th Bead Soup. Enjoy the day! Erin

  48. I am fascinated with beaded bails and clasps and that butterfly bail is gorgeous! I love the colors and the soft glow of this necklace, it somehow reminds me of regal ancient jewelry!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Your necklace is beautiful! The butterfly bail you created is lovely around the focal & beautiful in its own right. I think it is wonderful that the focal moves in the bail as well. :)
