9th Bead Soup Blog Party - REVEAL

9th Bead Soup Blog Party - REVEAL from Krafty Max. Her blog is beautiful, and so is her work!

Alice Craddock created this bracelet from her swap beads, and says, "This is a fun piece with an ethnic feel. I love the yellow beads made by Gaea. I felt drawn to add the cute little elephant to this bracelet."

Janeen also created this piece using the hoarded pendant she received in her swap. What a wonderful way to welcome in Spring!

Choker Style Necklace

Janeen Burlingame challenged herself with these big red ceramic beads, and created this wonderfully chunky necklace.

What Hajer Waheed made with her swap beads. How cool is this theme??

Here's a close up of the bail I created to showcase the Earthenwood Studios pendant sent to me by Terri. I used a bronze clasp created by Jill Eden, from Eden Art Glass, along with most of the other beads sent in my soup. It didn't turn out as expected, but I DO love how it turned out :) Glass Art, Do Love, Art Glass, Eden, Close Up, Charm Bracelet, Created By, Turn Ons

I had great plans for what I received from my partner, Terri G. My plans included a little bead embroidery, a lot of twisted herringbone, pearls (because I sent her some, too), and an elaborate necklace along with a couple of unrelated pieces. You know what they say about plans, yeah? The beads decided they mostly wanted to stay together, and be in one piece. So I created a bail & added a few Czech beads & a gorgeous handmade bronze clasp, and viola!

Beads received from Johana Nunez sent to Karin King (Maverick Beads)

... and the beads! The heart shaped rose pendant & rectangular link are from Earthenwood Studios, and she also sent a variety of Czech beads, charms, red Malay jade, deep red wood? beads (not sure, but they are lovely & earthy), and seed beads!! This will be so much fun to work with, I am already inspired :)

Great Pictures

This is a not so great picture of the very great earrings she also sent.

This is the back of the wicked cool magnet that she made for me! Signed & everything... I love it.
