ampwork bead box i picked out bead after bead trying to find something that would compliment and then there was one a failed execution of lampwork technique something that might have ended up in the garbage had i been more ruthless might have been overlooked but was suddenly was perfect i pulled out a pewter grey leather and suddenly it was simple one wing one bead a piece of leather fearing i had failed joanne and her precious hoarded bead with something so simple i made a bracelet to match it was all of the beads i d intended to use for the necklace but somehow the serendipity of the simple necklace took over bonus bracelet for pendant by maverick beads joanne also sent some very lovely resin wings which are her own specialty they are truly gorgeous i paired the wings with a few of my lampwork beads and some crystals for some lovely long drop earrings resin and lampwork bead earrings by maverick beads the next pair of earrings is also a set of resin wings paired with a matte set of handwoven seadbeads beads some silver beadcaps crystal and silver earwires i hope they compliment the resin wings resin and handwoven bead earrings by maverick beads and finally a third pair of earrings joanna sent a lot of things in pairs so i hope she s not disappointed to find a bunch of earrings in the reveal the third pair features a lovely pair of ceramic buds by cherie erwin of new zealand finding inspiration in the olive green colour of the tops of the buds i paired them with a couple of chain connectors and some of my own lampwork beads for a lovely pair of spring earrings ceramic and lampwork beads by maverick beads i still have more to come from this bead soup there are more lovelies that i will work into jewellry as the inspiration strikes my second partner is the equally lovely johana nunez who blogs over at art incendi sent the following bead soup filled with all things spring i was lucky enough to get johana as a partner when her original partner did not feel comfortable sending beads to puerto rico luckily lori posted at the same time i was on line and our partnership quickly came together puerto rico is not that far away from canada and so her beads were the first to arrive this is what she sent blue berri beads ceramic yellow bird serena smith lampwork lampwork flower buttons swoon dimples give more pink polymer bo hulley beads bracelet blank jade scott resin pendant glass flowers and enameled metal johana provided an amazing variety of beads but what to make i started playing around with the purple enameled metal beads on a bead board that had some yellow lampwork that i was intending for another project the yellow glass was hand pulled cane which produces beautiful striations of coloured and transparent glass i also discovered that i had a set of lampwork spacers in precisely the same colour as the enamel the glass used to make the spacers was discontinued about a decade ago so i have no idea what possessed me to make a bunch of spacers from it but there they were in the bead box i also had a couple of bright orange lampwork beads kicking about with the addition of the yellow purple and orange a bracelet soon started to come together i wouldn t normally do an elastic bracelet for a blog hop with art quality beads but because of the size of the enameled beads it seemed like the only solution enameled beads on colourful beaded bracelet by maverick beads next up a pair of earrings with the same enameled beads a pair of lampwork headpins the enameled beads plus some vintage german new stock glass are stacked to form earrings that are a statement piece without being two heavy enameled beaded earrings from maverick beads i was not sure what to do with the amazing swoon dimples bead which says give on one side and more on the other i had still had some of the beads considered for the first bracelet kicking around the bead board and decided to make a super fun spring coloured confection it s still pretty gray days around here with the last of the snow slowly going away the pretty pink polymer clay pairs with a couple of handwoven lavender beads more of the veiled yellow lampwork glass from the first bracelet and bright aqua vintage acrylic beads swoon dimples bead on colourful spring beaded bracelet from maverick beads last up a pendant the first piece that came together the little yellow blue berri ceramic birdie seemed so happy on top of the lampwork bead and a lampwork headpin that the piece came together quite quickly i love the combination of yellow and green in this seems so fresh and springlike blue berri bead on spring pendant from maverick beads i had a fantastic time working with everything johana sent i m looking for the perfect compliment to the pendant bracelet blank and lampwork and figuring out how to mount the lovely glass flowers so stay tuned for those in a future post posted by karin at 11 33 pm 31 comments labels bead exchange bead soup bead soup blog

soup lori anderson s blop hop 2017 because of a mix up i now have two bead soup partners this very disguised soup via two filters is currently at the post office on it s way to johana in puerto rico i had picked out the soup before i knew anything about johana but i think she ll really like the soup i can t wait to see what she might make with her lovely hand enameled creations a proper introduction soon posted by karin at 10 59 pm no comments labels beads blog hop sunday january 29 2017 bead hoarders bead soup and swap and hop i signed up for two swaps blog hops in the upcoming months one is the bead peeps swap and hop where i ve been partnered with divya who blogs at jewels of sayuri i picked out something i m hoping she ll like but will be a challenge to design with after all why participate in a swap if you re only going to get things that are your own style disguising the beads in the swap so they ll be a surprise to divya was a challenge but i found a filter that did it the second swap is what i think will be the ninth edition of the bead soup party this time host lori anderson has designed the swap as a bead hoarders swap so i can pick out my beads before hand i dipped into my stash of lovelies and found a couple of things that i m hoping my swap partner will appreciate the beads were a challenge to colour match for the rest of the soup but i m hoping my partner will appreciate what i ve set aside stay tuned for the reveals of both swaps swap and hop april 8th bead hoarders bead soup march 25th posted by karin at 3 09 pm 1 comment labels beads blog hop saturday january 28 2017 earring duo blue birdie and carmel steampunk gears these cute little birdies were found at my local bead store most of the charms and dangles they have are not really my style but when i found these folky little brass birds i knew they would be perfect paired with handwoven beads in a matte silverlined blue they d be the perfect piece to attract attention at a casual gathering i haven t made many pieces recently without handwoven beads in them once the muse took over so did the beads i took apart a necklace recently that just wasn t working and the little clay steampunk gears and the colourful lampwork rounds ended up on my work table next to each other they d be perfect for a steampunk enthusiast who wants something that s a little more subtle or casual than your ordinary steampunk garb posted by karin at 1 57 pm no comments labels beads earrings jewelry lamp work lampwork seedbeads friday january 27 2017 blues and greens casual essential oil diffuser bracelet and vintage apple green earrings it s completely the middle of winter here maybe getting a little lighter each day but still mostly just dark and grey so a little colour and fun is in order the bracelet is an essential oil diffuser bracelet the little white ball in the middle of the white and turquoise petals is made of felt so you can include your favourite essential oil within a wonderfully fun bracelet a sterling silver clasp adds to lampwork beads a handwoven beaded bead and some vintage acrylic flowers the earrings are more lampwork apple green disks and donuts mini dark blue spacers and vintage acrylic navy rounds links to purchase are here and here posted by karin at 9 08 pm no comments labels beads bracelet earrings jewelry lamp work lampwork tuesday january 24 2017 romantic duo peach and violet bracelet and earrings this isn t my comfort zone peach and violet not me but sometime karma and glass speaks to you and you go rummaging around the beadbox for something and a large acrylic cube just kind of sticks out at you sure it s been there for 20 years but it needed to be in this bracelet the peach and light lavender beads are my own lampwork some times its not as exciting to make spacers but there are other times like this where the simplicity and striations of the glass make everything just right if you d like either of these pieces for your own collection the earrings are here and the bracelet is here posted by karin at 12 21 pm no comments labels beads bracelet jewelry lamp work lampwork seedbeads northern lights essential oil diffuser bracelet in subtle light blue i ve become slightly obsessed with making beaded beads out of seedbeads as seen by the lovely just barely there blue coloured beads not a seedbead colour i would normally work with but it worked well in the bracelet this particular bracelet also has a felt diffuser ball so it can also be used with essential oils just put a couple of drops on the felt ball and you ll benefit from all of the healing properties that essential oils have my etsy shop has been sadly neglected but the bracelet has been listed here posted by karin at 10 51 am no comments labels beads bracelet seedbeads saturday may 10 2014 bead soup blog party 8 today s reveal date at the bead soup blog party i know i m way late and didn t even let you know i was participating but it s been an extremely busy spring and well life happens hosted by the fabulous lori anderson the bead soup blog party is an event where two people swap a group of beads and make items with those beads the beads must include a clasp and a focal but can include anything else the two people want to send there are 468 of us participating this year and all of the creations will be available for viewing today on the blog party my partner is karen jones a lovely lady that lives only an hour and half from me and who blogs at off the top creations karen sent me the following pretties to play with a gorgeous selection of green beads some stone some ceramic with some copper accent pieces and a few lovely brown pieces to balance it all out i picked up an issue of bead stringing this week and used lorelei eurto s bracelet recipe to make this bracelet i used the glass and wood beads from the soup combined them with a clasp from theatoo and added my own lampwork focal and accents to the mix i really love this bracelet and will think fondly of karen and the lovely things she sent me when i wear it next on to what i did with the clasp that karen sent i had quite a hard time with this one as the clasp was a different shape than what i m used to i tried several different combinations including one version with hot pink beads before settling on this i also used the copper round butterflies and some of the serpentine that karen sent along with chain and vintage glass from my own collection lastly i created a quick pair of earrings out of some fancy jasper and a couple of lampwork rounds i m quite happy with these and think the bronze beads at the top and bottom add a lot to the earrings of course i also sent karen some goodies to play with and if you d like to see what she s done with these head on over to off the top creations to see her reveal if you want to see all of the other pretties this link will take you to all of the other participating bloggers in the bead soup blog party
