Bead Soup #7 by TTE Designs Featuring Terry Jeanette Carter

  Welcome 
Bead Soup 
Blog Hoppers!  
Thank you for stopping by today to see what was created in this pairing between myself and Terry Jeanette Carter
[of Tapping Flamingo- found by clicking here] .  I know there are a gazillion blogs to see so I will be brief and to the point.

  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.

  17. Oh 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!!

  25. Hi. 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!

  33. Nice pieces! I really like the necklace...Beautiful job!

  34. I 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!
