Bead Soups Served!!

Welcome to the 6th Bead Soup reveal 3 August 25th 


Lisa Lodge of Pine Ridge Treasures is my partner. http://www.pineridgetreasures.blogspot.com/
We exchanged a few messages and prepared our soup mixes for each other. 

I began looking thorough my many little bags and pots of soup mixes in my studio to find something I thought she might be interested to work with and that I hated to part with. 

I decided on a selection I really liked and had not pulled out yet for myself, so this is what I sent Lisa. Can't wait to see what she was able to create with this.  







This is the soup Lisa sent me. 


It includes a pretty pink focal by Marsha Neal, 2 white, green and pink lamp-work beads and lots of pink and white beads, rose quartz, pink fresh water pearls and much more. Lisa sent me a second package she forgot to include with Lucite flowers, green adventurine round beads and a large crystal. This is a whole lot of beads!! Where do I start?? 

I was preparing for a big show and a new grand baby so when I sat down to see what would come to me, I looked through my stash and began adding a few items. I have a a method of the beads taking me in a direction. I had some little pink disks and wanted to add a warmer tone and I decided to make the brass leaf and branch toggle part of the focal. I added the little bird charm and 2 different textures of brass chain and rings. All the brass is Vintaj of course, my favorite. I finished the focal off with a couple little flower beads that look like they are sitting on the bird bath.



I found this cute little pink and white polka dot heart by Gaea.

I added the green adventurine beads to bring out the green in the lamp work bead.



My next design...... 


 I saw a shabby and chic mood with the flowers and wanted to add another color. I picked out the pink and white Lucite flowers and had just purchased some orange Lucite flowers.  Then the design came together into a flower garden with this beautiful art wood tile by J Lynn Jewels.


I added the orange flowers and some flower beads in the inside of the Lucite white and pink flowers, and some fresh water pearls in this mix.

Yes a very vibrant flower garden!! I added more flowers on the left side by the pea pod toggle.



I found a perfect peach, mustard ribbon with a tad of sparkle. I wire wrapped the ribbon to the beaded strand of pink hearts, crystals, and added a few orange disks to tie it together. I added some chain for texture and a pea pod toggle on the left side.



As life would have it I ran into 8 days of computer problems. I had ideas of a charm bracelet with the silver charms and pink beads. I have an idea of wire wrapping the lovely crystal but I ran out of time.

Thanks so much to Lisa for being a sweet and willing partner, and Lori for hosting this fun challenge. The opportunity to meet new artists and share our work is awesome and this is such a huge undertaking. It is exciting to be a part of it and I hope to meet a few new friends each time.

I changed my blog address last week when my many computer issues including my address was grabbed by someone in another country. So please save this address and stop by often. www.designsinthelight.co It is just one little letter (m) left off the end:)

Thanks for stopping by in your busy day and continue on the list to enjoy the hop. I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a comment. These necklaces are available in my shop at www.enlalumiere.etsy.com Now for your happy hopping.

    1. Thanks Kristin, I have not worked with Lucite before. I guess I was a bit afraid of it. I wanted to change it up a bit and thought it worked with the contrast.

  13. It's a shame about your computer domain issues, Cherrie. What an "interesting world" we live in. Questionable online practices by so many, on the one hand, and then such wonderful events like BSBP which would not be possible if we were not all connected!

    It is so special how you have enhanced an already lovely Soup from Lisa, by adding a few unexpected contrasting colours and textures. It proves once again that any bead can be made even more beautiful with a little imagination and a touch of flair!

  21. LOVE the pieces, and I like how you described your decision-making process of picking soup -- choosing something you would be sad to part with. To me that meant you really sent something special and put thought into it.

    Pink is your thing, you have a lovely knack with it! And I'm so sorry about all the blog issues - your direct link is on my main blog page right now and I posted in FB, too.

  26. Cherrie, I must say I LOVED the bead soup you received the minute I saw them... it was really a different mix and color scheme than I've been seeing - I like that it was decidedly feminine. Both of your necklaces are so beautiful! They are both so vibrant and wearable - just loved BSBP post!
