The finished soup! |
The focal is brown sea glass and I used the quartz teardrops to make an embellished bail. The lampwork lentils took me straight to the beach, so the colors of the shell, pearls, wood, and agate beads reflected the blues, tans, and browns of the shore.
Detail of the focal. |
What wonderful beach-y beads! |
I enjoyed having Julia Anne as my partner! She sent a wonderful Bead Soup, and although our Soups are quite different, it's very interesting to me that we used similar colors. And we only live about 30 minutes apart.
I am very grateful to have been able to participate in my 2nd BSBP. Much appreciation to Lori Anderson for making this such a great experience.
Peace, Love, and Sunshine,
Kel

great work!
I'm a partecipant from Italy, I'm trying to visit all of you.
this was really a great experience!
ciao ciao
Your bead soup necklace turned out quite scrumptious! Lovely, beach-y colours. Funny how so many of us ended up making 'summery' type pieces. Thanks For commenting on my post - I'm glad it gave you a few laughs. We can always do with more cheer in our lives :).
Very reminiscent of a day at the beach. Makes me wish for the days of summer as I look out my window at the snow and ice.
Lovely summery colours, I love what you made! It's a very pretty necklace :) x
Love how the necklace turned out. The muted colours are gorgeous.
Kel,
I would have never thoughts to use those little quartz teardrops to make a bezel - that is brilliant. And I must tell you I have had those lampwork in my stash for quite a while now. I love them but never quite knew how to use them. You have inspired me with the graduated necklace - that was so smart!
Thanks for being such a great partner. We live so close - we should meet up for coffee and wear out bead soup pieces. :-)

Beautiful necklace. Reminds me of the ocean! I love how you designed the front part of the necklace with the larger stones. The focal is really unique as well-nice work!
Very pretty! I like how you connected the pendant to the necklace. I'm so glad you participated, and I hope you'll join me again in the summer!
lovely piece! and so funny that you two live so close to each other. my partner was in mexico...just around the corner from colorado! ha! :)

It took me to the beach! I love how it came together. I'd wear it all the time!
I love all things beachy! What a pretty necklace! Love the sea glass focal! :)
Ahhh...the sand and the sea...all in one! I love the sea glass and lampwork...and I love that you put your own "stamp" on it!
like what you have done, I too had beachy beads, they were fun to work with. you can almost hear the ocean while working with them!
Definitely a piece to remind you of the summer, waves and the peace of that beach vacation...
Very pretty necklace! The focal is really cool. Great job
Living on an island I am drawn to all things beachy. I have never used beach glass with lampwork before. Thanks so much for inspiring me to try something new.
so lovely and the colors remind me summer will soon be here!
Your necklace look perfect for a day at the beach!! :)

Kelley, that's a lovely Necklace! Brown and blues are so wonderful in combination and your design has an extraordinary touch - I like it!
A beautiful piece! I tend to make things with a beach/ocean theme, so this one speaks to me.
How fun that you have a beading buddy so close to you!
That truly is a beautiful necklace! And your right...it's beach time! Youd did a wonderful job in presenting the beauty of those beads!
Love your necklace. I really love the brown with the blue. Blue can be so bright and the brown pulls it in some. Very very pretty necklace. Great job!
Wonderful necklace! So summery!
