Bead Soup Swap & Create Reveal : Partners Lorelei Eurto and Rochelle Brisson

 Let me remind you what my partner Rochelle sent me again....

Everything was sweetly labeled : here are the labels:

I mean, does she know me, or what?? Copper and Aqua colors: YES PLEASE.  an Owl Pendant!: Yussss!

Crystals, pearls, glass and ceramic- Spot On. She gets me. She really gets me.

And here is what I did with said beads.  TaDaaaaahhhhhh!

This is a necklace.  LOL in case you didn't know.  I used all the pretty beads, the Lampwork bacons, the pendant bead, and crystal  and her included copper toggle clasp. I added in those seed beads to suspend that pretty crystal below Mr. Owl. What a fun piece. And then of Course, I had to make earrings too because hey, Beads were leftover!

I added those copper earwires. 

I always love this challenge. It forces you to make something with the beads in front of you, and sometimes makes you work outside your comfort zone. I mean, not me. this WAS my comfort zone. But I'm just saying challenges like this sometimes can't stump you. I always sit down and think- Ok Do your best to use ALL the beads. I still had a small amount of beads left after the earrings/necklace were completed. But oh well. No biggie. 

Wanna see what Rochelle made with the beads I sent her: Head over there now.
