Bead Soup Blog Party Day 1!!!

Today is the First Reveal Day of the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party… with 2 more to come,
and more than 500 participants!!! Thank you Lori, for being such a wonderful hostess.
You deserve a big applause and flowers! Here they are...

 

 

The preparation of my bead soup started with the first email contact between
my sweet partner Birgitta Lejonklou (Sweden) and me. Birgitta designs and makes amazing ceramic jewellery with a special touch. A few days after our first contact,
the postman delivered 2 beautiful packages with some lovely ‘content’ at our home.
With completely new materials for me...

Look what she sent, I really love everything.

The thinking of designing and creating began, starting, take apart, restarting,
mixing and mingling and so on. Here are the results!

 Birgitta’s  Flower cuff is the base for bracelet Brittsommar, Swedish for Indian Summer.
I  choose the name because of the colour scheme. A lot of  glass beads
(made by me) were added, and freshwater pearls, some other beads & stones,
Sari Silk and leather cord. A new way of creating!

A beautiful swallow pendant and a little flower, chain and a clasp were
still on my beading table, my second challenge! Great for making a necklace,
with those lovely colours.

A swallow is a bearer of good news for  many people, so the best name for this
necklace I guess will be Happynesss, written with an y and 3 sss's this time!
