My partner is Ann Rishell of My Critical Eye blog. Be sure to visit Ann's blog to see the bead parcel i sent to her. These are the gorgeous beads and components that she sent to me.
Ann sent me so many beautiful items I couldn't use them all! I am especially loving the turqouise beads and the coral sari ribbon and focal - turquoise and coral are my favourites right now. I added some coral czech glass beads from my own bead collection to complement the soup, Here are the two necklaces that I made:

ReplyDeleteI wrote out a reply the other day, but I think my computer crashed before it was sent. I'll try it again! :-) I think both of these are completely lovely! Your bead partner has great taste, I'd say (because I love the colors and beads) and I think what you did with them is creative and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, you used all the ingredients your partner send you. I love the bird necklace, really great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs. I'm drawn to how you used the fiber and the beads..I think I'd like to give that a try! Soup-er Job!
ReplyDeleteVery delicate! Well done.
