Yep here it is the big reveal! It was so fun participating and my partner was the best. I had not made a necklace in a long time that didn't have any lampwork beads in it so it was a great challenge and with such yummy soup it wasn't hard. I added some fresh water pearls and some more carnelian, but used almost every stone Lori had sent me.
Thanks Lori for a great time! Can't wait to do it again.
Make sure you check out all the bead soup participants.
Oh Libby...what a fantastic piece you made!! This is absolutely stunning! Not a surprise w/ your talented eye & Lori's incredible elements. Show stopper. Nice job! :o) ~ Julie
ReplyDeletevery beautiful libby. the colors are so rich and the play of texture and shape work beautifully together.
ReplyDeleteOH, I have no words. Oh wait, yes I do. Can I buy it? I am in LOOOOVE. Audible gasps when I saw it. You have outdone yourself. I am SO. GLAD. You liked your soup and ate it to the last drop!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a part of the party -- we'll do it again soon!
I agree w/ Heather, 'rich' is one of the first words that comes to mind. I wouldn't have thought 'silver' w/ these colours & you made them work together beautifully
ReplyDeleteTis beautiful, the focal and the colors remind me of late summer in the sunflower fields at the farm or maybe keywest as the sun goes down. Lush, warm, and rich, a wonderful piece!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Party!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece, just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a work of art.
ReplyDeleteJust stunning and fabulous colors, I love it :0)
ReplyDeleteLibby, this is just spectacular. I need to learn how to get the bead clusters nice & snug like you did...I bet you did some type of wire wrap to snug them up, yes?
ReplyDeleteREally nice job...and the beads you sent to Lori were pure sunshine...she REALLY followed the "party" in Bead Soup Party with the colors you sent her!
Such a beautiful, rich necklace. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is amazing! You did an awesome job. I can only imagine the amount of work you put into that piece. I love the focal, but the necklace is a work of art, and at the same time doesn't draw from the focal. Great work!
ReplyDeleteOh, Wow! This is a stunner!!! Amazing work! What an absolutely gorgeous piece! I'm so thrilled to be finding such talent!
