I Did It Again.......

I am now finished hopping through the 2nd Reveal of Bead Soup 7.  Wow, what a journey and a treat that was.  The talent among our group is absolutely amazing.  I was so proud to be a part of it.

I made one necklace that seemed to get a lot of positive feedback using Jelveh's orange coral and green tagua nut button soup.  Since I'm keeping that one for myself (the first is always special, you know), but since I enjoyed making it so much, I am now making others in other color combinations and material combinations.

Anyway, this one is now listed in the Etsy shop.  I hope you like it.


Here is my second one....made with the same African turquoise disc beads as I used on the sides of the first one, but this time used flat as the disc beads, along with dyed red coral nugget beads and red coral glass beads.  Everything else is basically the same.

Well, the shapes are a bit different because I have a terrible time trying to make two of anything the same - took me a long time to be able to make earrings because they have to be made in pairs.  I love the turquoise and the coral in this one because they are hand cut and more of a rough hewn texture and the colors are wonderful.  Greens and browns, just beautiful.

I feel so much better hearing a super-talented designer such as yourself make the comment about the difficulty of making 2-of-a-kind! I certainly feel that way!

As usual though, this is beyond amazing/stunning/awesome! Just when I think I've been "wowwed" all I can be, you "wow" me again, Jean!

Although I really liked the striking colors in the first, I think I may like this one even better!
