{The Soup}

psssssttt....hey you?...yeah you...it's time, soup time! .it's BEAD SOUP BLOG PARTY REVEAL DAY!!!!!!!!!


My swap partner Nan of Spirit Rattles sent me these amazing porcelain creations of her's and here's what I came up...


I added some vintage pearls, chain, some Swarovski crystals, one of my lampwork glass beads and some larger sized seed beads and viola!

I'm sooooo in LOVE! We can do whatever we want with our finished piece, meaning if I wanted to I could put it up for sale in my shop BUT NO WAY! This is totally staying with me! AND I have some left over beads of Nan's that I already have ANOTHER necklace started that is for my personal collection as well...I'll show you that one when it's finished :)





Had to make me some matching earrings! If you know me you know how much I love me my earrings and how insane my earring collection is both in quantity and variety of styles :) Totally earring gal.




Try to make your way around to all the blogs and see what everyone came up with with their "soup ingredients" you'll be so glad you did! Eye candy for miles!

Thank you so much Lori for putting this fun party/swap together! It's been so much fun both in getting to create something totally different and new using someone elses creations and also meeting a ton of new bloggy friends.

Oh girl, I'm digging this style. Super fun and flirty! Nice and airy and those beads are so sweet.
Julie said…
Oh wow, Marianna... this is such a lovely & feminine piece... you did a beautiful job w/ Nan's creations.
Kate said…
Another Peep!
I love what you did with your soup. I like the symmetrical row of hearts on the focal juxtaposed with the pearl strand on one side and the large rings on the other, it makes it full of energy but the color brings tranquility. Bravo!

Hope you are enjoying the Party!

TesoriTrovati said…
Great soup mix! I love the fresh spring color...and I would so keep it for yourself. That focal bead is killer.
Thanks for sharing this heaping serving of great soup! Be sure to stop by and taste some of mine. Enjoy the day! Erin
Nicki said…
Oh that beautiful aqua color. I understand how you totally want to keep this.
RockerJewlz said…
Marianna, what a bright and springy mix of silver and clay. Very nice! I sure like what Nan did with your beads as well.

Isn't this fun????
Michelle Mach said…
This is so delightfully spring-y! I especially like the front where the two different types of chain meet up with the focal.
Jen Judd said…
I would totally hide that away in your own jewelry box if I were you...it's just gorgeous!!!!
Anonymous said…

Those are beautiful ceramic beads. You certainly made them into a necklace that shows them off well. I too would keep it. I am keeping mine and have already worn it out. What a fun Party.

Jo said…
That is very pretty!

love that color combo. The large rings are perfect! Your design is gorgeous and deceptively simple.
I love the porcelain beads Nan sent you! They are my favorite color, and the way you used them is fabulous! Maybe one day you will be willing to sell it...:) The clasp is adorable too. Great job with your Bead Soup!!
