TIME for the Bead Soup Blog Party Hop REVEAL! Let's all give Lori Anderson great big heart felt THANK YOU for the great job as we all know what she has been going through.
I want to thank my BSBH partner Tina Holden over at TINA'S BLOG
for the fabulous selection of beads, findings and trims she sent me... My all time fav. colours of lime, turquoise and copper with a touch of red introduced for contrast!! I managed to use all but a few of the beads... just ran out of time.

The first piece that I made incorporated the beautiful focal pendant. I made some dangles with the Red coral, new jade, nephnite jade nuggets & chrysoprase buttons, and indian glass (hope I got that right!)

The next piece I designed was a knitted bracelet ( 28 gauge wire) using the Spotted Jade and the reproduction old coin handmade Button clasp, I crocheted a loop to wrap around the button and I added a square turquoise stone in the middle to nicely balance out the large button
hand made button clasp
Here's the 3rd piece I designed: I made lots of dangles by flattening the ends of 20 gauge copper wire to make head pins and added the dangles to the chain that Tina sent.

Those are just beautiful - I love the bracelet in particular!
It's a wow for a bracelet, knitted very interesting way!
Great use of your ingredients! Just love the bracelet.
Fay!!! I love what you did with the beads. You made the pendant the focal point and love that the full necklace itself doesn't distract from that by adding only the red to the dangles for contrast. Great use of the Button!!...and all the beads for that matter!
Here is what I made with yours...forgive the title in my link, I had trouble with my windows live writer.

Such lovely work well done!
Wow, that knitted bracelet is amazing, but that first necklace is gorgeous too. Love the way you fixed the focal with all the dangles down from it. And the asymmetry of the cubes. All of it is just beautiful. Great job.
Great pieces! Very interesting bracelet.
The vibrant colors of the first necklace are perfect. I love those blue and green nugget beads, and the way you used them. You may have inspired me to try crocheting again. Lovely work.
You made magic with your soup. That focal necklace is my favorite. Love me some beaded dangles.

Really beautiful designs - love how each piece complements the others. You made good use of a lovely ingredients.
Your colors are some of my favorites too!! I love everything you created I have never tried to crochet with wire, do you use a finer gauge? I am going to have to do that! I am loving the cube beads in the first necklace!! They add a wonderful detail to the design!

Beautiful design! I love all the dangles. Your bracelet is stunning!
Love the pops of red from the coral beads.
Fab bead soup, indeed! LOVE that wonderful necklace - oh, the composition, colors, and details are woven together so beautifully! The bracelet is scrumptious too - and you get extra points from me for tackling wire crochet. The last necklace is such a cheerful piece - lots of bright happy color and movement. You cooked up some fine pieces here!
so intresting pieces-crochet bracelet my fav!
You know I think this is the first time I've ever seen the clasp end on a wire crochet cuff. Thank you for showing that. Great soup!
That wire crochet bracelet must have taken lots of work. Love the first necklace and the earrings are darling.
Wow, the bracelet is amazing! I'm falling in love...
Hi Fay, Looking at your blog I have to say you make awesome fused glass artist. You showcased the beautiful focal that you received perfectly. Wow knitting with wire is very creative and I am impressed.# 3 is bright and cheerful and I like it too. Your blog name is catchy.
Great job on all of your pieces! The knitted bracelet is my fav. Nice touch adding the turquoise bead for balance.
Nice cooking, Fay! I love that combination of turquoise, green and vibrant red in your first necklace - thats an eye-catch for sure!
Excellent soup Fay! I love all the pieces...I would hate to have to choose....though I do seem to leaning to the last necklace...Great job!

Everything is so cool! I really like that knitted bracelet. I"ve tried knitting with beads and it's not easy to make it look good. I gave up. You make it look easy.
All fabulous pieces! I really love the knit bracelet and the multistrand necklace!
Beautiful pieces but that knitted bracelet just blew my mind! Insane! Gorgeous!
Those colors are indeed wonderful together. Even better are your creations. That first necklace is killer. I like the way you made the tassel for it especially. Lovely work!
What beautiful work, Fay!! I don't know if I have a favorite -- but I especially love the colors and textures pulled together in that first necklace, and the bracelet is very cool!
That wire knitting on the bracelet is really inspiring! I love the dangle-y-ness (is that a word?) of your two necklaces and earrings. Very eye catching in a most pleasing way. Beautiful pieces.
