7th Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal!

I received these great beads, a lovely copper hand made owl, a ceramic handmade round bead, a beautiful purple stone and a nice handmade clasp and my imagination went crazy! There was so much I didn't know where to start. Charlie really sent a great package of yummy goodness! The first thing I did was take out the purple stone because it's my favorite color and I love wire wrapping. I wanted to try this wrap that goes on both sides so I could make a bracelet. I added some of my own beads in the purple color and wire wrapped them together added some cotton string and my own handmade clasp. Here it is...

 The next step was to use the focal point bead in this case the owl. I decided to use my died hemp string to tie it up adding the striking green beads in that Charlie sent, I love the way the copper contrasts with the green! Charlie sent a few of these great pink and copper glass leaf beads but I wanted to make a nest of sorts with more so I bought some in the green colored ones and wire wrapped them in a circle with the blood stone tiny beads she sent. Here it is...

I strung some small goldstone copper beads I had together with the green chunky stones Charlie sent then continued on with the bright green beads and leaves I had left over connecting them to the clasp.  

I wire wrapped the very cool ceramic bead with some copper and the bright green bead along with some little dark green flat beads I had. Connecting this to the clasp and the hemp string. 

And she came together beautifully!

 
I had such a great time putting these beads and focal pieces together! Thanks for putting this together with all your heard work Lori!!!! And a special thanks goes out to Charlie Jacka at Clay Space who made and sent me this wonderful soup!!!
