Lori Anderson hosted a Bead Soup Party. Participants were assigned a partner, and the partners swapped a focal piece, a clasp and various beads. Then you were to take your swapped packet and make something out of it. Today is the day to post what we received and what we made! My partner was Terri Gauthier....she sent me much more than required and lots of fun party stuff, too!
These are all the goodies Terri sent me.....
Check out her blog to see what i sent her and what she made....it turned out fantastic! ....and check out the rest of her fabulous blog and art while you are there too....
......and this is what i made!

I really like this piece, and loved the wiring of the focal.
Very pretty!! Nice work!
The wiring of the focal bead was a great addition and the hints of green really popped... love it
It's lovely! I really like what you did with the focal:)
Wow! It looks like Terri sent you the whole party!! Great job!
I know from experience that Terri always sends the best packages! And I love what you did with her beds! That focal is to DIE for!!!!!
Thanks for being a part of the party! We'll do it again soon!
love the wired dangles!
Cool way you wired the focal. Invention the mother of necessity can sometimes brings out a whole new design!
Enjoy the Party!

Love the result! It is very uplifting to see how everyone has used their ingredients.
Wiring the focal is clever and ingenuis! This is pretty and striking!
I was thinking of drilling holes in the focal too but the wiring idea you came up with is brilliant! I had also thought of hammering the toggle clasp to distress it and antiquing it with paint...but being a novas beader and you being a professional I was sure you would come up with something really cool. And you did!
These little dangles are so cute and the wire works great. I really like it.
Love your design and how you incorporated those green wire wrapped beads!
Ahhh, very pretty creation with your 'soup'!
Great piece!
Very Pretty!
You are welcome to stop by for a cup of “Spring” soup on my blog.
