At the left you can see the soup I sent, which included a focal of handmade polymer clay beads in the Mokume Gane technique, I also hand made a clasp and sent these along with quite a few coordinating pretties. I included some sari ribbon. I was gifted a bit of this in a previous BSBH and because of that I now incorporate fibers in some of my work so I wanted to pay that forward. I also sent an extra little gift of mokume just to show the color and versatility of this polymer medium.
The next photo shows what Terry sent to me. She handmade a fun focal and clasp and sent a big selection of wood, shell and chip beads. This was a good collection with a very 'tribal' feel and nice because it's not something I might choose for myself. That's why we do bead soup, to be pushed out of our comfortable little boxes!
Finally, my finished product and some 'glamour shots' from close-up. I decided on a wire wrap, link/ sectional approach.
From my own stash I added a few faceted glass crystals, some polymer clay beads, a re-purposed hammered penny & a length of antique copper tone chain I am really pleased with the way this turned out. I think it will be a great summer time statement piece.

ReplyDeleteGood job Tammie. You used your soup well.
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie, your necklace is just dreamy. I adore your three-strand design. I always seem to have a bit of an issue with multiple strands, but you carried it out effortlessly. Or at least it seems effortless. . .and that's kinda the point isn't it? WELL DONE!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great necklace! I just love the colors and I am in awe with how easy you make multistrands appear to be.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the South seas and nuts and wood...Love the creations.

ReplyDeleteHi. When I first saw the bead soup that you received I thought to myself what a great pile of beads. I love those materials. But, then when I saw what you did with them....I was truly wowed. You put them all together in such a beautiful way. I really am wowed by that. How beautiful that would look on a dress in Hawaii!!! Just an idea. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late, but, You did a fantastic job! You sure stepped up the to the plate with these pieces!!!! It was so fun working with you!
ReplyDelete:) I love your jewelry that you made from your bead soup! It's truly amazing!

I love the way you pulled all of those wonderful pretties together!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful necklace! I can almost visualise it worn with a long flowy red gypsy skirt :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Necklace with a little whimsey, luv it.
ReplyDeleteI do love those earrings and necklaces. Well done!
ReplyDeleteReally great! The necklace/earring set would be super fun to wear, and it looks like it would complement many different kinds of outfits.
ReplyDeleteNice pieces! I really like the necklace...Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI never know what to do with red, because it's so bold. But you used just the right amount of it and created a piece with lots of balance. It's warm and earthy, yet bright and cheerful. Chunky and substantial, yet light and airy at the same time. And I love all the little tidbits...the penny, the polymer, the charms. Love it!
