Soups on!...

Nothing like being down to the wire to really light a fire under my butt...deciding it was a good idea to try and figure out how to upload pics to my new MAC from my DSLR with only a few hours before the hop starts turned out to be way more painless than I was expecting :)

Ok onto the soup! My awesome partner for this BSBP was Sherri Stokey of Knot Just Macrame her work totally knocks my socks off, seriously go look for yourself, she's brilliant!


remember she sent me this? serious drool happened...


Sherri did her research well ;) I was spoiled with this fab owl ceramic owl pendant...I was stumped on what to do with it...still am. This definitely won't remain this way. The basics came together as far as wiring it up into a pendant with come faceted crystals and stones BUT I waited til the last minute and haven't gotten my sari silk in time. So I'll update this piece and share it again later...



the colors of my "soup" are just dreamy...Warm colors and wonderful textures...These earrings were the first thing I sat down and made. They came together instantly and without hesitation. 



This bracelet followed suit...an eclectic mix and that stunning copper toggle...



take a closer look at that toggle...the patina and texture is pure bliss...





With over 500 blogs to visit i'm ganna keep this short. I can't wait to see what everyone else created with their ingredients. My morning coffee and visiting everyones blogs to see their work will be how I'll be spending most morning for probably a couple of weeks :) 

Thanks for stopping by! You can view the full hop list HERE

and I'd also like to thank the amazing Lori for once again organizing another amazing BSBP with the assistance of some pretty fabulous helpers :) You all are so much appreciated!

You've made some pretty pieces - I like those earrings and the bracelet, a cooper-blue combination is always a winner.
The owl is so cute and I'll come later to see the final design.

I imagine sari silk is going to look fabulous with the owl. I love the mix of beads you have used in the bracelet.

I too would have drooled over the owl. The outcomes were great.

Totally cool bracelet and your owl is going to be fun to wear. Nice job with your soup.
Unknown said…
What a hoot ! *nricked for pun* Hmmm. That little owl, to me, seems to be begging for a tassel of some sort... I would paint one of my hole stamping brown to stand as a 'tree branch' and wire leaves and flowers from the holes... Or maybe make a branch out of crystal clay then stick jumprings in it before it cures, then proceed. Haha, sorry, my mixed media soul is pratling on here !

Really lovely job with all your pieces, but I think the earrings stand out the most. Here's hoping you can get that owl to become more of what you want! Your simple necklace is great, but I'm sure whatever you figure out will be stunning.
Love the copper & blue combo.. you've made some really lovely pieces
bairozan said…
The owl focal is to die for and I understand that you want to make a gorgeous piece with it but I like it this way. The bracelet is my favorite piece - eclectic, indeed! The earrings are pretty, too and that connector really adds something special to how they look!
Macs are so easy, I love mine! I also love that owl! Wonderful pieces all very sweet.
