Soup's On! -- Come and get it!
I must admit this Bead Soup was a tad overwhelming for me, I hadn't a clue where to go with what I had received.. Don't get me wrong here but Jayne my partner sent me a fabulous mix! I just couldn't seem to wrap my head around design this time!
So I decided to just dump everything on my table.. mix it all together as see where the elements would take me! Still nothing!
I looked up... and there it was the copper coil, and a jar of mixed up copper parts I had been playing with and had put off to the side! Cutting a random length of copper wire, wrapping it free form around my wrist to form the base, then manipulating the sari silk into place.. I started my journey.
This is the first piece I completed...
I was so excited with how this came out I proceeded to make another! I used up the rest of the sari silk that Jayne sent and using the chess piece as the focal!
Creating the necklace took a little longer.
I had to walk away from it several times before I came with this!
The lovely floral focal along with the handmade bone and copper clasp Jayne created herself brings a dynamic pop of color effect to this necklace. The disk beads are from Africa, the large ovals are Chinese and I have no clue if they are right side up or upside down!
Thank you so much for stopping by, have a fabulous day!
My partner Jayne... to see what she created with the soup I sent her ------->

I love your sari silk work and those black beads are fabulous. You did such a lovely job with everything. First bracelet is my favorite. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces! I really love that second bracelet, the checker pendant is just wonderful! I think you got a great soup to work with but the leather flower would have throrn me how to use it, you really did an awesome job!
ReplyDeletePretty retty.What lovely pieces you have made Lovely Love and hugs Tanya
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I remember that leather flower from the Bead soup Cafe, so pretty. You've given it a lovely home. That bracelet looks like a lot of fun to wear too
ReplyDeleteI just love the textures you created with the soup! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, you did a fantastic job! That first bracelet is just stunning! Really love the necklace! I also have no clue if those beads are upside down...but it looks fabulous, and that's what counts!
ReplyDeleteDoesnt look like you had a hard job of it at all, everything goes together beautifully. Great soup!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are so full of texture. Love them all! Makes me want to touch them.
ReplyDeleteUnique and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe pieces are lovely - I like how you used the sari silk and used the beads in the necklace!
ReplyDeleteVonna, your creativity never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeletevery nice work with very nice beads. I may be running out of words to describe loveliness!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and very creative. I love the chunky necklace...the red flower really pops!
ReplyDeleteyou did a great job w/ all your pieces, (so funny we both made a silk wrapped bracelet!) love the way you used the flower~I'm glad you liked the funky things I sent, this was fun thanks again :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting to me the thought process that takes people from a pile of beads to the beautiful creations such as you have. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWhile you said you couldn't wrap your head around your soup (and salad and dessert), you really did wind up with some very nice pieces!! I'm sure breaking out of your box feels wonderful.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely pieces. Really like the first piece.
ReplyDeleteVonna, what fabulous pieces you made! I love the bold colors and the wonderful textures in each piece. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace (probably because I just got some of those Chinese beads, and I could totally help you with right-side-up issues!). You work sari silk so well -- I'm still learning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to the party!
What a stunning necklace, and a lovely read :)
ReplyDeleteYour journey ended well, they are all bold and beautiful! Love them.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking pieces!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when your soup takes you to a new place!? I love that about this BSBP. Nice job, glad you found your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow that necklace is really striking! The bracelets were a great idea also. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! My favorite was the one with the red checker. I found it a challenge to work with the beads I received in this swap as well. It was great to have to break out of my comfort zone. Challenges are good (saying this to myself)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! Love what you did with the silk.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you created with your soup. The focal on your necklace is really great. My favorite is your first bracelet.
ReplyDeleteSonya
Love it all!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Very artistic pieces. Makes me want to use sari silk.
ReplyDeleteVery cool pieces, Vonna!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your bead soup
ReplyDeleteIngredients!
Super love!
ReplyDeleteAnything with sari ribbon seems to make me melt!
The last one is so unique! Lovely job :)
I like all 3 pieces but my favorite is the last necklace with the red flower :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, they all look so tactile I want to stroke the computer screen!
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces. I really like the first bracelet with the wire and the fiber. And the necklace is really pretty, too. The disc beads are very unique.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! Creative and innovative!
ReplyDeleteVery unique , I love the red flower necklace.
ReplyDeleteYour bracelets are so bright and cheery! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI really like the addition of fibers in your first two pieces. A lot!
ReplyDeleteThe sari wrap on the wire is an interesting technique. Does the bracelet stay on OK? What gauge did you use? The colors and found objects are playful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. I love the way you integrated the sari silk in your jewelry
ReplyDeleteI like all the pieces you made but the last piece is really stunning.
Very fun, unique and eclectic! Really nice work, love the variety of elements used.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of the sari silk and the wire wrapping together. Very sensuous!

ReplyDeletewow those are beautiful! I love how you used textiles and wire work with the beads. That last necklace is fantastic and totally something I'd wear. Chunky, unique, fun and with some boho style! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteFor someone who had trouble figuring out what to do you totally rocked it. LOVE all the fiber in the bracelets and your necklace turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the bracelets, love the necklace!
ReplyDeleteUnique works of art! That first bracelet is calling my name ... =)
