Cory Tompkins my Bead Soup Partner blessed me with a wonderful soup.
and so it took me away from my usual seed bead work to a more eclectic style.
With so many different and interesting beads, I went a little crazy!!!
She included her very own handmade polymer clay beads, and polymer clay critters. An Owl and a cute little birdie!

ReplyDeleteYour designs are so wonderful! I love the asymmetric necklace, and love that you modeled it! The bird in the nest is just too cute! really like that you did a very minimal look with it, it lets the bird shine! and I like what you did with the leftover beads, that is such a wonderful design, the brick beads made such a chunky, funky focal!

you had such a fun creative soup and I love what you did with it. I loved Mr. Hootie and your first necklace and the earrings were so pretty as was little birdie. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove them all, CJ. especially intrigued by the brick bead design. I just ordered bricks for the first time and looking for ideas :)
ReplyDeleteAt first I wasn't sure about the first necklace. I'm glad you including a picture of you wearing it because it looks very good on. Lovely pieces!
ReplyDeleteThe lampwork bead necklace looks great one you. The birdie necklace is sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see you & Cory's reveal! :) When she said her partner was Cj Bauschka, I knew you two would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou created gorgeous jewelry! I'm surprised that you are working outside your element because the flow, brilliance & savvy of your designs seems like years of art experience in the techniques! You are a gifted artist. I LOVE your Marcia Seever of Shazazz lampwork necklace! I have a Shazazz lampwork bead in my reveal also; aren't they wonderful? Beautiful necklace & profile photo! Mr. Whoo is adorable -- and elegant. Birdie in her nest is ingenious & lovely. The mixed metals look terrific, and the nest is brilliant! Your earrings are fabulous, as well, with wonderful wire work and then beautiful bricks too! I'm new to beadwork -- a spiral weave, right? You outdid yourself. Impressive and striking jewelry! Happy Hopping! ♥ Rita
