BSBP#8

Even though time has been stretched for this edition I was extremely lucky to be paired with June from http://www.onewhiteswan.blogspot.co.nz/  Her gorgeous pieces she sent me had my brain ticking over and over.  Such colour and vibrancy, where do I start...
After much thought this is what I came up with 
Was such a please to be apart of Lori's famous bead soups.  Thank you June for the amazing colours. How did you know I love purple?

After 3 years of hard work I graduate this year

So to celebrate I made me a set to wear on my graduation next month.
The main pearl is from the Cook Islands where  my family is from so there is a personal connection and maybe a start of new tradition

7th bead soup blog party with Lori :)

Once again I have put my name forward for another bead soup organised by Lori Anderson.  BIG Thank YOU for putting this together again.

My partner is Caron Reid her blog is http://www.caronmichelle.blogspot.com.au/

she sent me this beautiful collection of Moukaite Jasper Beads that are mined in Australia'



So I have made these ...




Necklace - Using one of the larger pieces I double sided bead stitched around securing the pendant before adding to smaller bead then did a stitch which required beading each bead on twice before hanging with the ribbon for an adjustable length. 
Bracelet is a chunky style bracelet using all of Caron's beads. 
With matching earrings.

Thank you Caron for the beautiful beads and Lori for organising a great event.  Please follow the link below to see more.  There is so much talent out there :)
