The 6th Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal #2

Lori Anderson of Pretty Things has brought together an awesome community of creative and sharing jewelry artists!  This is the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party and the third one that I have joined in the fun.  My partner Lori Callahan sent me some awesome beads to work with. 


I have not done much wire working and decided that now was the time to try my hand at it!  Lapis is one of my favorite stones.  I wanted to set off the lapis focal bead so I made it the center piece of my creation.

I used a simple chain to keep the focus on the wire work and beads.


 Next I made a beachy bracelet!


Lori made this awesome clasp!


I also made earrings that are simple and can be worn with anything!


Check out Lori Callahan's blog to see what she did with the soup that I sent to her! Thanks Lori - I love my bead soup jewelry!

 And also thank you to Lori Anderson.  You have been the best hostess and you are a sweetheart!  Make sure to check Lori Anderson's blog here so you can see the other soups for the Bead Soup Blog Party for Reveal #2.

  1. I remember seeing that beautiful lapis focal on your soup reveal. Such a lovely stone and it looks great front and centre on the silver wire work. Good on you for doing something new, too. I like how you put pearls top and bottom on the earrings...oh just realized that's tubing..neat!

  43. Hi! I'm finally getting around to some of the blogs I missed. I really like that necklace and the way you used wire. I'm a wire-worker and I don't tend to think of using it like this. Very nice work. I like how you took a lot of different pieces and created something simple yet elegant. Your bracelet is fun! And I like the long elegance of your earrings. Fun!
