Bead Soup Blog Party - the reveal!
Here it is folks... the necklace that I made with the bead soup sent to me by Cristi Clothier. I added in some freshwater pearls, vintage sugar beads, czech glass pendants and lucite rounds in the same color as the crystals. I had these other beads all set aside because I thought they would work well together, but never had the inspiration to make anything with them...until the bead soup arrived!
First I made a single strand necklace, but it felt a bit lacking to me, so I took advantage of the big holes in the fluted silver beads that Cristi sent me and the czech glass pendants by weaving another strand along side the first. So...what do you think?
