REVEAL! Bead Soup Blog... PartyOn!

I had a wonderful time with my first bead soup exchange!  I humbly admit it was a challenge for me using components out of my level of confidence.  Just call me "Simple Simon"...I can do elaborate in glass, but not for complex jewelry design.

A reminder of my ingredients from Kitty

As I placed the first bead cap on a bead (my usual way below the bead), it suddenly occurred to me that fall is almost here and our massive oak reminded me also:
Acorns!

I decided to feature Kitty's resin pendant by surrounding it with acorns, and even had enough to make earrings, accented with
Kitty's handmade tags.
Notice the lovely detail on the clasp.
The Full View

Such a big pot of soup had enough for 2!

Zoom

And even a 3rd set!
Handmade Pendant
As you've seen, the soup ingredients yielded 3 full recipes!
Here's the leftovers:
And they WILL get consumed!

 At any rate, I am absolutely delighted with ALL of the results!  I just hope my partner, Kitty, agrees ;-) and I'd like to thank her again for sending such a delicious soup!
 Go here to view the reveal of the soup I sent to

Have fun at the Party!
Check it out! The participants are from ALL over the globe.

    Oh these look so lovely. I adore the stamped tags on the earrings. I stopped by her blog too. She did a wonderful job with the stash you sent, and hand dyed ribbon? How cool.

    These are beautiful Cynthia, love the little acorns, the pendant on the second necklace to me it looks like an elagant sea turtle, and on the third I like your combination of pearls and lamp worked beads. All three sets are gorgeous!

    Cynthia......very KEWL!!! I love the acorns! You did a wonderful job. Your last piece is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed seeing how you used the "soup" I sent you.

    I don't think your were outside your "level of confidence"!

    It was great having you as my BSBP partner!

    And now I see that my first comment must not have published -- hit me with a stupid stick.

    I LOVE what you did -- the acorn, the multi-strands -- you had nothing to be afraid of! I'm proud of what you did!

    I hope you'll join me next time! The badge and dates will be posted tomorrow, the 19th!

    Love, Lori

    I like how the second one resembles a turtle, or maybe it's just that I have turtles on the brain from your post above. I tend toward simplicity in my designs too, so I can really appreciate what you've made here :)

    I enjoyed your creations. And I want to buy a sea turtle. I lived in Fort Myers Florida where the nesting season for the turtle just ended. My blog is http://heavenlanecreations.wordpress.com

    You made the most of your soup with some lovely creations. I, too, thought the pendant looked like a sea turtle.

    They are all beautiful pieces! I love the second one especially... it reminds me of a lacy, filigree turtle. Looks good at choker length too!
