It's bead soup time again! My favourite annual jewellery and beading
blogging event and I'm always so excited to check out all the blogs
from other participants to see what beads they've received and the great
jewellery pieces they've come up with.
This year my partner is the lovely Sarah from
String a song of Sixpence.
Sarah is a bead stringer with a great eye for colour and texture. I was
particularly surprised at all the colours she works with since most
jewellery makers prefer only a select palette. Sarah is also a first
time participant of the bead soup party.
I've included a photo of a
necklace which Sarah pointed me to saying it was one of her favourite
and a pair of earrings I was drawn to because of the ingenious mix of
shapes and colours:
Sarah is also a first time participant of the bead soup party. We hit it off immediately in our e-mail correspondence. She was excited to send some of her most cherished beads across Europe to meet new bead friends :-)
As it turns out I had the exact same thing in mind when I sent her my bead soup choice because the beads as well as the ribbon and organza flower are some of my favourite components put together from my jewellery and sewing stash. I can't wait to see what Sarah comes up with it!

What fun things you do....and thank you for introducing Sarah...have a great week! : )
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy week too! I'm having a great week making jewellery with the beads Sarah sent me :-)Hugs and kisses to the boys!
DeleteI'm afraid I don't know about the bead soup party but it sounds like something you enjoy very much I like the colors in the bead soup for Sarah. Perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteSanda, the bead soup blog party is an international on-line event where jewellery makers who participate are paired up to exhange a set of jewellery components and on the pre set reveal date post on their blogs the jewellery they've created using the components. It's loads of fun and creatively exciting because the componets one receives are entirely up to the person one's been paired up with.
DeleteSo happy to see you join the BSBP this time! The soup you put together for Sarah reminds me of a Disney princess. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteKelly, that's an interesting association. I think my choice for this bead soup was influenced by the desire for bright and warm colours that I associate with summer and care free sesations.
DeleteI'm trying to visit as many of the blogs as I can in the blog party. Can't wait to see what you've gotten in the mail from your partner. The beads you sent are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHannah thanks for visiting! Sarah sent me an awesome soup that I wanted to post in a separate entry.
DeleteLovely colors, shapes and textures. The earrings are striking. I think I like bold jewelry designs :).
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the bold designs! I am fascinated by the power of minimalistic designs that incorporate bold components.
