Bead Soup Blog Hop ~ Reveal
This is what I received from my partner Shanti Johnson. Lovely, bright, free-spirited and well out of my comfort zone. :-D
Earrings to match....
What to do with the leather cord? and all those fun but random bits? Add some turquoise colored wooden beads and a few peace signs to create a youthful charm necklace.
Loved the 'orange sherbet' look of these crystals
The bits I had left over.....
Welcome Blog Hopping Friend! I appreciate you dropping by to see what I have created. I tend to be a wordy writer but I know you have many stops to make on this bead journey so I will try keep my comments short today.
This is what I received from my partner Shanti Johnson. Lovely, bright, free-spirited and well out of my comfort zone. :-D
The main creation, with the big beautiful peacock feather focal and the copper leaf toggle clasp. From the soup I used the leaf beads, the green & orange faceted crystals, the sari silk and the I added the large link copper chain and the aqua crystals from my stash.
[In the pic on the right I removed the orange peace sign charm for a different look.]
Earrings to match....
I loved the look of these dyed coral sticks, so they became a 3 strand free form bracelet and earrings
(to match of course!)

Wow! Tammie. That is a dramatic piece of necklace! I love how you place the peacock feather to one side. All the other pieces look so fun and summery.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you made it so delicious with the peacock feather on the side!! I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteGreat designs! I especially like the peace charm necklace set!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs! I love that peacock feather in the first piece. The colors in all the pieces are just wonderful and so perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! Super creative and unique! Great job! A true joy to view!:=) KRis
ReplyDeleteBrilliant ones! Love them all, vibrant colours, brave combinations.... love them....
ReplyDeleteOK, in your bio you say you're a baby of the '60s. I can so see that in your pieces :-). I love the peacock necklace - it's got such a care-free, laid-back, and too cool vibe - and the use of peace signs. Every piece seems so sunny and happy - if that makes any sense. They wouldn't look out of place at Woodstock, or Glastonbury. Great work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how removing the orange peace charm changes the whole look. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteThat peacock necklace is a statement! I wish I could wear something that bold, it is so pretty! Love the orange bracelet, and I'm glad my daughter didn't see the last necklace, she would so beg for it!

ReplyDeleteJuicy! Very pretty designs! Id never be able to wear a peacock feather like that-my kids would have it in tatters.. But I love how it looks!!
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is so very lovely and what a fortuitous coincidence that you have used a peacock feather.... I have MANY feathers and was walking by them the other day thinking I should use them in some jewelry. You have inspired me to work with them now. Thank you for your wonderful comment on my blog, you really should work out of Denise's book. I'd love to see what you create!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and design. All your pieces are lovely. Using the feather would have been a great challenge for me...you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteOh, I absolutely LOVE that peacock necklace, and the coral sticks bracelet as well! I have some blue coral I loved but have never gotten around to using, and I may just have to do something similar :-) Great job!!
ReplyDeletewonderful creation! you did a great job with your soup!
