Because I’m sort of a visual gal myself, I’ll cut to the chase. But before I do, thanks to Lori Anderson (Pretty Things) for hosting the Bead Soup Blog Party Hop. My wonderful trading partner for this round, Morwyn Mullins (Another Country Beads). And, all you fabulous jewelry designers and artisans who make this fun party a success.
Get hoppin’ – “Visit Pretty Things for the complete list of participants”
Here’s a small sampling of some of the beads that Morwyn sent my way. Saved a few for a rainy day (not sure when that’s gonna happen around these parts.)
One more for the road and wishing you safe travels to the next blog. Enjoy!
wow!! I love your work- my favorite is the necklace with the green/cream and wood focal. That pendant is amazing!
Fantastic jewels!Congrats!
Brilliant! I love your micro-macrame – and I particularly like what you did with the big jasper focal in the Serenity necklace. It’s inspiring to see the beads used in ways I never imagined. Thanks for being my partner!
Beautiful as usual! I love everything you make.
I really love your job, my favourite is the necklace withe green and cream focal!
I’m a partecipant from Italy, I’m trying to visit all of you.
this was really a great experience!
ciao ciao
Stunning–all of them. I can hardly take it all in. I love the unique bead soup you received, which you certainly put to good use. The macrame technique you used in some of the pieces is amazing!
So completely creative! I am astounded. Absolutely gorgeous, and that first pendant is my favorite!
I hope you join me again this summer!
Your creativity and skill is fantastic and artful! Love all the pieces and especially the simple earthy stile necklaces with stones in “bags” JUMM !!
seems You got a fun soup too !!
You really got some mileage out of those beads! I love the little holster you made to put the jasper in!
Very creative, interesting and beautiful. I love mixed media so I love them all! My favourite, however, is the necklacde with the mother of pearl beads and the stitched pendant. Ingenious! I also love the hoop eariings 🙂 x
Wow what amazing creations you came up with, love them all
So many wonderful combinations. the lime green one was definitely my favorite.
Wow, wow, WOW!!! These are fantastic! I am so inspired to add some fiber to my work!
I was using crocket components for the first time yet, and I adore the way you did it in your creations! I love the third necklace especially – it tastes like vanilla ice with hot chocolate sauce!
You came up with a great group of jewelry. My favorite is the heart pendant necklace, the red is a perfect pop against the creaminess of the rest of the beads.
Wonderful pieces! I really like the Serenity necklace!
Wow, beautiful pieces!!! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the first one, but they’re all gorgeous. <3
Wow, beautiful designs! 🙂
Wow Cece – your talent astounds me! I love the whole lot, but if I had to pick a favorite, I would have to say the green and brown necklace where you stitched the wood of the focal or the gorgeous necklace with the large heart focal – too many choices! Fanastic job! 🙂
I think the Serenity piece is my favorite, I do like them all but the little scattered silver beads in Serenity remind me of star gazing. Next to standing at waters edge of the ocean, gazing at the stars brings me there. Beautiful
Your work is so amazing! The detail and the accuracy in your macrame is beautiful. I love everything that you’ve made.
Your work is STUNNING!!! Is there no end to your talent? Your style is very unique and amazing … I love every single last piece! Beautiful!
Everything is so special. No wonder your store is always sold out. My favorite is the heart necklace and the first necklace and the hoop earrings with the tiny charms. So sweet.
All beautiful!

Your designs are stunning…it is impossible to pick a fave…I LOVE them all! Such beautiful, eye candy…I’m in beady heaven right now!!!
That’s a lot of soup! Your ingredients were well suited to your taste I would say! Very artistic, meticulous and beautiful!
The serenity necklace and earrings with tiny elephants are my favorites, but I’d wear them all. That’s a first for me during this hop. Oh and I love the photo at the top of your blog. It’s so peaceful. All lovely-you and your work.
Everything is gorgeous! I love your first two pendants and those creolan earrings. Wow!

Oh My Gosh!! I love everything you created. Your work is stunning. My favorite is the first necklace. I’m in love with that focal and seed beads are difficult for me to work with so I applaud your mastery of this type of bead. Cheers!

just gorgeous!
Cool, beautiful pendants, I love the green and black necklace it has a lovely oriental feeling.
I love all of your creations. They definitely have a calming, peaceful, and earthy feeling. Your ability to use micro-macrame techniques to enhance beads allows you to create some unique and gorgeous focals and earrings. Well done!
Oh my goodness….you must have worked for WEEKS on this soup! You are so very creative! Love your work! The first piece is my all time favorite! Beautiful job!
What an amazing group of jewelry you created. You are a master.!
Very creative! I love your style! Fantastic job!
Your designs are really great. I love that first focal. Beautiful.

They’re all wonderful in their own ways — I kept thinking “oh, that’s my favorite” until I scrolled and then thought, “no, THAT’s my favorite”…I do particularly love the “serenity” pendant and the way you stitched on the wooden circular pendant. What a cool idea!
Thanks to all who stopped by to take a look-see. It’s been a fun party and I’m still hopping blogs. So many great pieces I’ve seen!
I like your work, nice focals!
I really love your use of crocheting around the large pieces. I hadn’t thought to split up the soup beads and use them in so many pieces but it’s an awesome idea! Excellent job, really beautiful.
Love your pieces. That micro macrame is beautiful. I love it. I was going to try to learn to do that about two years ago — I got pretty far actually — I bought a book and some string. Yep, almost have it all figured out….NOT! But, I want to. All of your pieces make me feel comforted – maybe its the way the macrame holds the stones inside. Love the earrings with the little stone beads too. Great job!
I like how you mix fibers, wire and beads together!
Oh, wow, that’s something – you sure got creative: all beautiful work!
You received an awesome soup, and you used it to its fullest potential!! and in so many ways!! your work is stunning
Love, love, love these pieces. Your little “basket” bezels are my absolute favorite, along with those wonderful hoop earrings.
Sorry I am so late to the party – still working my way through the Bead Soup! I am bowled over by the awesomeness of your creations – each and every one is a work of wearable art! LOVE!
Each and every one of your pieces created for this challenge had me swooning!! Oh my goodness, you really outdid yourself with your bead soup. I’m IN LOVE with that necklace with the embroidered/wood pendant. SO COOL!! You blew me away with all the beauty you created, really.
