I am late posting my BSBP photos. I would like to thank
Lori Anderson for accepting me as a participant. I would also like to thank my partner
Norma Turvey for sending me the most beautiful soup. I did not take the best photos during this fun time. Which I have learned my lesson. :)
 |
| This is the lovely box that my soup was in. |
I love the box that Norma placed my soup in. Once I have used up all the beads I will move this box to a special place to be admired. :)
 |
| The brown and tan beads mix beautifully. |
|
I had a ball just looking at these beads and even brought them to my bed and decided what I was going to designs, One necklace was created in my bed while the baby slept in the crib next to me.
 |
| These lampwork beads and clasp are just beautiful. |
I did not use all the lampwork beads nor have I used the beautiful headpins. I am new to wire wrapping and would not want to mess them up.
 |
| The brown stone focal is beautiful. It makes me smile when I see/touch it. |
Now on to what I designed with these beautiful beads. I am still planning to use up the rest of the soup once my wrapping skills advance.
 |
| Brown crystals, Brown and Black rounds and gold seed beads |
This was the first bracelet made, I love the crystals. I have to change clasps this one is a cheap thing that keeps sticking.
 |
| I made this chain out of jumprings, The clasp was a gift from Patti Vanderbloemen |
I used the gold seed beads and pearl like beads to make two stacks of dangles. The chain is made out of simple brass and gunmetal jumprings.
 |
| Here is the second bracelet I made, With handmade chain |
I used jumprings purchased from Lori Anderson and basic brass ones, I thought the clasp Norma sent was to beautiful to be at the back of a necklace. So it is used as the focal in this simple bracelet.
 |
| Red leather lace, and my beautiful focal. |
This is a very simple necklace, It has various pearl dangles, round dangles, and crystal dangles. I am new to using leather lace and had issues wrapping the ends. :)
 |
| This is the first necklace I created. The clasp was from Patti Vanderbloemen |
I created this necklace in bed. I had to restring it a few times and finally decided to add chain that I had purchased a few years ago and horded. The glass rounds were purchased from the Lovely Lisa Lodge.
 |
| How the necklace hangs. |
I am down to the last necklace designed. And I am surprised I did not make any earrings. I will have to make some. :)
 |
| This is one of the beautiful lampwork beads Norma sent. |
The chain was a gift from Mark, for my birthday, I added two drops, one of flowers and the other is a blue and orange crystal. I hammered the end of the wire to keep them in place. The lampwork is coverd by yellow crystals from Lisa Lodge. And It was an attempt of wire wrapping. One more picture.

My photographing skills need work and I need better props. I do hope you enjoined your visit, And will be visiting all your sites through out the week.
