It’s been a great party so far and now it’s the 3rd Reveal for the Bead Soup Blog Party Hop.
My partner has been very busy, hosting and creating and let’s give her some applause for taking on this task… you go Lori Anderson!!! (Pretty Things)
I received the best soup ingredients to use to stir up some jewelry designs. In my usual fashion, I like to mix n match, and make loads of different jewelry pieces.

So here is my 1st piece of jewelry.
Daisy Chain 108 is a micro macrame and chain bracelet. Soup ingredients used:
the purple crystals, pietersite bead and bronze jumprings. I added african trade beads, C-Lon cord, copper center piece, copper chain, and a lobster claw clasp. It wears well and fits me perfectly. The temperature was 108 degrees on the afternoon I cooked this bracelet up.
Next up … those square beads
The only items that threw me for a moment were the square shaped light butter colored beads. Eventually my creative muse surfaced a design for those and I think it is a keeper. I added those square beads to a repurposed bracelet medallion. The colors are a perfect match, and I found an old copper colored cuff to mount the macrame bracelet, in keeping with the copper theme. Plus, I got to incorporate some of those little tiny twin beads I’ve been wanting to play with.
This next copper necklace is a departure from my macrame pieces.
Although I did manage to throw a wee bit of fabric into the design.
It features a peace pendant charm.
It can be worn lariat style as well. Soup ingredients used on the copper necklace: textured copper ring connector, copper clasp, spotted lampwork glass bead and the small woven copper connectors.
Here’s what became of the sweet little round, etched ribbed lampwork bead, a few of the shell beads, the copper bead caps, the purple/green crystals, the purple cord, the white cord… I added flowers shaped amber crystal beads and a few small etched lampwork beads. A cute little macrame, slide closure bracelet.
I think I’m keeping the next piece for myself. Those Marsha Neal ceramic pieces ended up as a necklace and earrings.
My favorite color too.
If you follow along at all, you know how I often like to make the back of the piece as wearable as the front.
So goes for this necklace.
I used a Tim Holtz metal piece for the flip side of the pendant.
I’m also in love with that little Tierra Cast Buddha head bead.
What became of those Czech glass purple striped lentil dangle beads?
A little pair of earrings and macrame necklace, using one of those vintage cloisonne beads for the focal point.
This seed embroidered cuff bracelet features a beautiful moon faced clay bead by Birgitta Lejonklou as the centerpiece.
I added Lori’s pietersite beads and the small shell beads are going in this design too. Oh, and lots of tiny seed beads and thread.
Time and life sort of became very busy for me, so watch for the completed design on this at a later date.
And here’s a gallery page of photos with a few different views of all of the designs.

What a wonderful soup! I adore the colour palette, definitely my kind of colours! I would wear everything!
CeCe, you inspire me! What lovely pieces, I love your mix of elements. You add so much texture and eye appeal, you would keep someone looking at your pieces for days just discovering what you have added. Lovely job with your soup!
Beautiful, unique pieces. I love the necklace with the vintage cloisonne bead!
your macrame is absolutely stunning and how you were able to weave those gorgeous beads into your designs is a true talent. beautiful work!
WOW!! I love how you incorporate the macrame, it is fantastic!! What beautiful pieces you created.
All your pieces look great! I am especially drawn to the necklace with the peace sign because when you show it as a lariat, it looks like it’s saying “time for peace” which is such a wonderful message. The cuff is really neat too.
WOW! Your work is stunning! I love all of your pieces!
LOVE the cuff!
I’m so impressed with the drawing at the end — I can’t do things like that to save my life! I’m glad you made a piece you want to keep! And the copper cuff you had — PERFECT — holy cow, Czech glass never looked so good! You really, really impressed me, and thank you so much for participating!
Wow!! Love your designs — especially the peace symbol necklace. Versitile and lovely! 🙂
Wow, love what you’ve done! I love your idea of reversible jewellery. And that multipurpose necklace is brilliant.
Love them all, beautiful work!
What a beautiful soup! I love all your creations!! Awesome job with the micro-macrame…that copper cuff is stunning!
Very beautiful work.
Love everything you made!
Congrats!
Very generous soup and fantastic, modern projects! Congratulations!

Wow were you ever busy. They are all so lovely. Each and every one is so unique! Unbelievable!
a couple of things….first, I love all of your creations. ESPECIALLY that cuff bracelet. 2nd and totally off the subject, but do you have Louisiana relatives? there is a wonderful restaurant in Monroe, LA I’ve been to on several occasions called Cormeier’s http://www.cormierscajuncatering.com/
I like all the pieces you made, especially the necklaces. Great job!
I love the purple and greens together. Beautiful. And that copper. My favorite piece is the necklace with all the rings. It looks very wearable. Love it. Great job!
WONDERFUL WORK. I just love all your jewelry pieces. Great style and design. Your asymmetric items are so pretty.

Fabulous designs, hard to choose a favorite! Really love the peace lariat, what a terrific idea! The winged bird necklace also a terrific piece, beautiful colors and textures! The bead embroidery piece is going to be awesome, I love bead embroidery, just not enough time to work on mine!
Outstanding!!!
Oh my gosh, you made so many lovely things with your soup! I love them all, but my favorite is the necklace that you added the Tim Holtz piece. I really love the asymmetrical design and the Tierra cast Buddha head is fabulous. Great Job! Cheers!
Lori D.
All of your designs are outstanding! I really like the last two necklaces. The macrame leading up to the wings in the purple necklace is perfect.
Stunning pieces! I adore them!!
Really beautiful work! I love the first daisy chain bracelet and the cuff is simply stunning.
You have made such gorgeous pieces- you have been busy! I like the necklace with the cloisonne focal the best, and can’t wait to see the bead embroidery!
Cool soup and love what you made with it!
I’m just now getting around to the party and I am so happy I stopped by. Your micro macrame is divine and I love how you mix it up with chains and what not. Beautiful work!
Beautiful pieces! I can’t pick a favorite–I love it all!
Fantastic designs one and all. You are one Uber talented lady. Really Soup-erb!
Great pieces. I really like the necklace with the peace sign, but they’re all great. Lots of texture, different styles. Very nice.
ALL I can say is wonderful!!! Do i need to pic a favorite Hummmm Ok Send them all to me and let me decide!! 🙂
so many wonderful pieces! great work! love them all, but my favorit is the copper bracelet with the macrame technique.
greets
jacqueline
So many beautiful pieces! You put so much thought into each piece (front and back). I’m really loving the copper theme, and how just a bit of fiber can add so much depth. Nice job!!!!!
You really got a ton made from your soup and it’s ALL awesome! Your macrame skills always amaze me. I cannot wait to see what becomes of that last piece. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for it!
I love the soup you received from Lori and all you pieces are so creative and beautiful..great job
Really love what you made! So many beautiful creations!
Your work is some that I always look forward to seeing — without fail, your creations make me stop and say “holy cow”. Usually out loud. And that is why I have to view your work away from the office so that my outbursts don’t worry my colleagues…
Everything is just gorgeous. And I can’t wait to see the embroidered cuff when it’s done!
Wow, what a lovely collection of pieces! I think they are all wonderful, but that sweet little bracelet with the lampwork bead and the crystals really appeals!
Just brilliant. I love and want it all, lol. 😉
The last necklace is my favorite !
Wow, you made some gorgeous pieces!!
What great pieces. I love how you incorporate macrame into your work.
Wow! Beautiful soup and beautiful wearable pieces of art! Can’t wait to see the finished piece!
Wow, love that cuff and the necklace with the cloisone bird its so sweet all very nice well done.
I have a first giveaway of a pendant from my blog soup do come on over and take a look and enter to win if you get a minute!
Jackie
This hop is soooo long, out of breath trying to get through it! You and Lori Anderson, an unbeatable combinations.
Wow.. what fantastic work… Love the copper !!! and so many pieces
It’s all beautiful, but I’m most intrigued by the moon face cuff bracelet. Please post pics when it’s done.
