Bead Soup Blog Party Hoarders Edition Reveal


I want to thank my partner, Joyce Becker, for all of the lovely, lovely beads she sent me!! The cat-like lampwork beads, the purple lampwork lentils with the purple and Swarovski crystals and metal components and the turquoise and silver focal with the turquoise Swarovski  and sterling silver beads.


I started with the Purple lentils and added a small hoarded Humblebead disk for my first necklace.


I made a pair of earrings to go with the necklace. I love the colors of the lentils and the beads Joyce sent with them are perfect!



I went to work with the silver and turquoise beads and made this next necklace.



Joyce sent me so many beads - I enjoyed working with them. I'm still working with the cat-like lampowork beads - I want to highlight all of the beautiful colors in them and will try to get a picture of what I made up soon.

Thank you Lori Anderson of Pretty Things for getting this blog hop together!!

Here's a list of all of the participants. I'm looking forward to going to all of the blogs and Pinterest boards to see all of the beautiful designs!!

  19. So so pretty! The purple necklace / earring set is just lovely - I really love the colors in the glass beads and how you made them all collectively pop with the faceted rounds & teardrops, the Humblebeads pendant plus the flower beads. You matched it all perfectly. Your second necklace comes across as elegant and subtle. You've done a great job with a generous soup.
