7th Bead Soup Blog Party! Welcome to my blog!
I changed my design a couple of times. Here is the first idea that I had-I just didn't like the fiber along the side of the necklace. So, it had to go away.
So, I played a little more and my final design is this---
I wrapped a filigree piece around the heart to create a necklace that could be worn two ways. I used azurite beads to pick up the blue and green in the focal heart and faceted crystal quartz to accent the beads. I created 'heart' looking wire findings to connect the elements. I made a double strand from the silver tube bead up to where the chain is attached. I integrated the glass beads into a stack of bracelets. I used the fiber that Cheri wrapped around my box to create one bracelet-just wrapped the fiber and used copper wire to hold it together. There are a bunch of other pieces that make up the bunch of bracelets. It was fun, fun, fun. I so appreciate what Lori Anderson has done over the years. This was the first time that I participated in the Bead Soup Blog Party and I hope not my last. Lori deserves major kudos and praise beyond this world. I truly do appreciate her dedication and vast amounts of time that she has committed to this project. Thank you, Lori!God Bless You.

I have worked out of my comfort zone and worked with elements that I haven't used before. This is all thanks to my Bead Soup partner, Cheri Mitchell-Reed. Her blog is CreativeDesignsbyCheri.blogspot.com. Her Bead Soup will be listed tomorrow, April 14th. She needed a little help with her photos. So, please check back to see what Cheri has designed. We would appreciate it!!!
