Soupe du Jour

Multi Strand

Artsy

Lampwork - Chunky

Lampwork - Lite (for the dieters)

Gemstones

Seed beads

For the first piece

I used this amazing one of a kind 

focal by Princess Peggy, 

the lamp work beads the amethyst

 and purple round glass beads from 

the soup Sarah sent for this one

Then added items from my own stash.

As well as some of the purple glass leaves from 

the very first bead soup soup from 

http://cettacheese.blogspot.com/

Even 3 of my own sorry lampwork beads.

Used the floral toggle clasp for this bracelet

used the purple cord to make this one

used the magnetic heart clasp for  this bracelet.

With the 

Bonus Beads

 I made earrings and a bracelet

You'll have to read the previous bead soup 

posts to know how this happened.

Soup mix #2

Used The focal and the faceted carnelian 

along with items from my stash

Used the 3 strand box clasp on this one 

below and the red orange cats eye

 heart beads form Sarah.

Added  red coral beads and some others

from my stash of beads

So much to ...so much to see.

I could of written more details about each piece.

But put a fork in me (spoon)

I'm done.

Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday Everyone!

 Here is another
seed bead and jump ring bracelet tat I made. 

Presented on these funky pink dish washing gloves

This time I used a with a crystal toggle clasp

instead of a button

I recently made this bracelet for a graduation gift 

for a young lady 

who is creative and super sweet.

I hear she Loves Pink!

This is a little Butterfly book

I was fortunate enough to assemble 

at one of our MIABA
(Michigan Altered Art Book Association )
meetings a few years ago.

Gifted to us by the Uber talented 

Ingrid Dijkers

http://ingriddijkers.blogspot.com/2010/08/butterfly-books-workshop.html

Can be used as a smash book or a 

journal or a mini photo album.

What ever she'd like.

It was just sitting there in my art room

I hadn't done anything with it.

Then I got this idea to put the 

young ladies face on it. 

Added some photos of her inside.

I'll be gifting this to her as well!

I think as a creative person 

she'll appreciate the work that went into it.

Earthy and Floral

Ceramic Pendant and floral charm 

were gifted to me. I added

sodalite and new sea green jade beads with 

an antique nickle finish chain and 

toggle to completed the necklace..
