posted on this jewellery blog since the bead soup swap months ago but i have been very busy over on my oth er fashion related blog anyway to get me back into the swing of making and posting regularly i m taking part in the art bead scene holiday ornament blog hop today i m posting a little teaser of the ornament i ve made using a gorgeous ceramic art bead it s a bit of an unusual colour scheme for christmas but the finished ornament looks great the official ornament reveal and blog hop is december 6th so be sure to come back then for the final piece and a list of all the participants bead soup the big reveal september 17 2011 85 comments hello again i ve had a lovely break and now i m ready to get back into jewellery making and blogging what better place to start than with the big bead soup reveal here s what ana sent me a beautiful concoction of blue yellow texture and cool beaded beads i have to say straight away though that i didn t use the clasp i know i know that s the whole point but i was just stumped as to what i could do combining the clasp and the bigger beads as i don t tend to wear multistrand pieces so my next post bead soup challenge is to make something with that clasp here s what i did make first up was the satin cord dragonfly that ana s boyfriend made as it was already attached to a metal ring i thought this would be best as a key ring or bag charm i paired it with some bright ceramic beads in the tones of the bead soup for a playful look next were ana s beaded beads that combined different textures and colours i wanted them to be the focus of the entire piece and as they were quite chunky thought they suited a necklace best i used yellow agate donuts and a combination of crystals seed beads and the blue glass beads in the soup alongside the beaded beads to create this fresh zingy necklace it has a great spring feel and i think that i d wear it with a plain white or navy tshirt to set off the colour contrast this long simple necklace was next using some of the cane glass beads from the soup i wanted to pick up on the yellow and blue colour theme but using this mustard cord brass wire and beads with a little more depth gives it less of a bright and more of a sophisticated edge very simple but highlights the beads and the different textures perfectly this bracelet was the final piece i pulled together from the soup although i still do have loads of beads left after the bright and sophisticated pairings before i went for something a little darker and more moody a contrast of matt blacks and sparkling blues the lucite flowers are wrapped using antique gold findings and the toggle clasp is in the same colour this piece really draws out the different bead surfaces smooth sparkling rough matt and metallic and it a little more interesting that a simple strung bracelet through the little explosions of flowers this bead soup was my first one ever just like ana i really enjoyed it and found it challenging but in a productive way i normally steer away from very vivid colours together but the yellow and blue really popped and i found myself pushing my design skills to think of other colours that blue could be paired with without becoming just a backdrop what i like most however is that i ve now used beads in these designs that have travelled all the way across europe and when i wear them i will be thinking of ana in slovenia and all the other bead soup partners across the world who must think the same i can t wait to go through all the blogs to see everyone s soups although with over 300 to look at it might take some time check out what ana made with the bead soup i sent her over on her blog ps it s awesome a little break august 26 2011 2 comments today would normally be the same time each month where i post the bead shops of britain project unfortunately due to some browser issues i m unable to upload any images to wordpress and so can t post the bead shop of britain for this month just yet i handed in my dissertation yesterday which was a big task as my ma took 2 years to complete part time phew so i m going to have a little break for a while not too long to also coincide with waiting until we ve got the new browser stuff installed and then business as usual until then have fun making jewellery of course elly bead soup blog party update august 24 2011 2 comments i am getting some seriously wonderful parcels at the moment there s a few that will be arriving soon that i have yet to tell you about but this one i can my bead soup arrived from my partner ana krepel novak who lives in slovenia ana s blog is called cat s pajamas dog s tuxedos which i immediately loved she makes her own beaded beads so i m glad lori paired us up as we ve got the tiny beads round bigger beads thing in common she also makes her own clothes and does lots of cool diy projects and writes about fashion too here s the soup she sent me when i opened the parcel i said awesome to myself i love contrasting colours for a start i also like yellow but find it quite tricky to work with so that s great too ana also sent me a multi strand clasp the type i ve seen but never used so i m looking forward to making some multi stranded she also sent me as the focal a very cute satin cord dragonfly that her boyfriend made on a ring plus there s the beaded beads and the glass ones too including some lovely cane glass beads what i like about this collection of beads is that it s in colours i like and textures i like but would never have chosen myself the aim of the bead soup blog party is to really try and stretch creatively by taking one someone else s choices and i think that s exactly what ana s selection is going to make me do you can see what i sent her over on her blog and she s written an amazingly nice post including being lovely about a focal i made and referring to joan from mad men a gal after my own heart the big reveal for all the soupers is september 17th so remember to come back and see what i made i m having some blog issues at the moment with getting images up so some of the posts might be a little late coming but there ll be there some simple earrings august 19 2011 2 comments remember i said that i d made some great earrings for a gift for someone well here they are made from czech glass agate rondelles antique gold findings and those excellent long kidney earwires i don t think i will ever be able to get as beautiful photos as these ever again by the way the sunshine was just right the colours sparkled it all worked these were for a lovely friend who kept mine and him indoors bikes for a few weeks a month while we moved house thank you squash you rule these are some earring experiments using czech glass again alright it s an obsession sue me and these darling headpins from beads direct copper with tiny hearts on the end you can also get stars and different colours too love them looking forward to tomorrow as i am off to a secret bead shop location to review the next in the series for bead shops of britain oh how i love doing this project have a great weekend oh it s beautiful august 18 2011 leave a comment exciting a short post to say the other day in the mail i received a beautiful gift i commented on erin s post about what does live what you love mean to you over on her fabulous blog and my comment got chosen to receive one of her limited edition pendants as featured on the front of stringing magazine oh my i have no idea what i m going to make with it all i know is it is wonderful thank you erin for such a generous gift also i have already sent my beads off for the bead soup blog party and my partner ana has sent hers i will be going a lengthy post about both soups and ana when they arrive more exciting beady beadness copper diem s treasury challenge august 16 2011 1 comment whoops i had a family reunion this weekend which involved a 4 hour train journey to my mum s then a 2 hour car journey down south and then all the way back up again yesterday so you ll forgive me for completely forgetting to post the results of copper diem s awesome etsy treasury challenge right right here s the treasury amy from copper diem sent me a beautifully textured treasury in orange and teal one of my all time favourite colour combinations i loved the variety of texture in this treasury and wanted to pick up on that in my piece along with the different curved shapes like the bracelet and the swimming pool ladder although i completed the piece very quickly i still don t think it s quite finished it s a double bracelet that can be wrapped around twice but i m still not sure of the fastening and whether i want to make it a bit longer the beads are a mixture of czech and indian glass freshwater pearls seed beads some wooden and metal beads ceramic cornflakes and the two glass hoops in red are by hmb studios the whole thing is strung on some thick matte brown leather and to space out the dangles i used antique gold jump rings and thick hoops threading all those on took a very very long time but i m pleased with the texture it creates and the weight of it is just right to save your scrolling finger i ve decided to put the photos in this gallery format which i think looks nice might try it for some other ones too i don t know if this is in the rules of not but a friend of mine emily who is getting more interested in jewellery making ok so i m encouraging the habit and doesn t have a blog so i gave her the link to the same treasury as me so she could make something in the challenge too here it is i m really pleased she made this necklace great colours and sparkliness and look at all the dangles we didn t compare notes on these designs and yet we both thought of putting pretty dangles and different textures together great minds think alike it d be great to get your thoughts on her work and also so we can encourage her to start her own jewellery blog woo emily you can see all the rest of the participants in the blog list below thanks to amy for such a cool challenge and i hope she does another one soon oh and sorry i was late copper diem fuego metal y color silver nik nats beads

wednesday btww 10 8 august 10 2011 3 comments this week s btw has an extra w that extra w stands for wish and it s what i would love to be on my bead table this week the bead table is looking a bit bare as everything has been put on hold for dreaded dissertation writing so i thought i would take a little trip into dreamland i discovered the joys of online newsletters when i first started buying beads online it s a great way to get a heads up about discounts cool projects and all sorts of news about the ever enthralling subject of beads i signed up to the beads direct newsletter a while back and they haven t disappointed in letting their customers know just how much they ve got going on they re having a fabulously huge sale at the moment and i decided to feature some of my favourite pieces mainly from the semi precious selection think i must be having an autumnal moment because they re all shades of cream browns and black mystic agate faceted round beads magnesite free form slabs in inky black czech glass mix in dark brown ok so not in the sale but i liked it too much not to include it crazy lace agate pendant bowenite octagons like tiny little landscapes frosted tortoiseshell glass bead mix bowenite faceted nuggets aren t they just beautiful i can imagine these strung up with some leather cords and antique gold chain with some gold and brown beaded beads inbetween so far the summer sale from beads direct has been taking up most of my time i need to explore the rest of the website and have a look at everything else what s on your bead table and bead table wishlist this week check out the rest of the btws over on the flickr group ps i have some wonderful earrings waiting in the wings to show you but as they re a present i ve got to wait until the receiver has got them before i show them to the world bead table wednesday 3 8 august 3 2011 4 comments it s august already i can t believe it the weather here is humid and occasionally thundering so everyone is very hot and sticky i wanted to take some photos of my works in progress and finished pieces outside and found that venturing out into our yard at 8am before the sun had got too hot and there was still coolness in the air was incredibly refreshing and helped me take some great photos some of these pieces i am thinking of submitting to a magazine erin had a fantastic post on her blog the other day about submitting to magazines her work was on the front cover of stringing well done erin with some very helpful advice so with that in mind i am not showing the whole piece this week just some small snippets not all of these are for a magazine but enjoyed the macro too much to not show all of them like this amazonite stick with embellishments crazy ball pendant czech glass yum yum yum cannot get enough of these beauties those peanut beads look huge iris and flowers it makes such a difference taking photos outdoors with the early morning light rather than indoors will try and do this from now
