Today is the 3rd and final reveal of the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party organized by Lori Anderson. With each passing year, the party is getting bigger and the number of participants is increasing a lot. With over 500 jewelry makers across the world participating this time, the party had three reveals with amazing work displayed by very talented artists.
Originally me and my partner Lena Adams were a part of first reveal but with lots going on for both of us, we asked Lori to put us in the third reveal and Lori being her, always helpful and supportive, agreed and accommodated our request.
Lena had sent me a very delicious soup. I have never used silk and leather before so I knew it will be interesting to play and design with them.
When I started thinking of the design the first thing on my mind was Mosaic Aqua Jasper focal and I was so fascinated by the silk that I knew it has to be a necklace with it for sure. I created a dangle with a silver bead and green yellow glass beads over the focal and extended it with two flat silver ovals.
As it was my first time to use the silk, I was not sure whether to use one strand or two and ended up almost tearing it when the necklace was in very last phases. I guess using two strands is better. I kept the original unfinished look of the dark green silk and wire wrapped four pairs of dangles to keep it simple. I was happy with the look of the necklace when I wore it and can't wait to show it off.
And here is the pair of earrings I made which can go with both the necklaces.
I still have to come up with a design using the suede. Hopefully soon, I will share it with you.
God has been testing Lori and Lena lately with illness/surgeries and many other difficult happenings in their lives. I really hope and pray that things get much better for both of them soon. Its my pleasure that I got to know them through these bead soup parties and I wish them good health and happiness always.
Now its time for me to start blog hopping...will you come with me?
I can't wait to see what Lena designed with the bead soup I sent her so let's start with her blog and then hop to the other participants.

Lena sent me two focal beads so with the second focal I came up with this necklace with spring colors. For this one, I used the silver toggle clasp and Jasper Turquoise beads from the soup and added few Carnelian, Agate and snowflake beads from my stash.
And here is the pair of earrings I made which can go with both the necklaces.
