Time for the first reveal at the Bead Soup Blog Party # 7.
First off, I was thrilled with all the beads, charms and bits that my partner Debra Behrends (Hopeful Journeys) shared with me.
So much good stuff that I could not fit everything into my limited design time.
(The raw materials.)
Next up, Iād like to thank Lori Anderson (Pretty Things) for hosting this event and at the same time, to thank all the party goers who make this such a blog blast. Reserve some time for blog hopping. It’s a treat. Participants links are here.
A few words about my design process. Mostly I just sit down and make stuff. Not much for sketching, or grand design planning. I trust that the piece will come into being and to be what it needs to be. And, that it will appeal to someone, somewhere.
(The finished goods.)
Thanks for taking a peek.
Lovely work! I especially love the last one so so dainty and pretty!
Gorgeous pieces!

Simply. Gorgeous.
Great designs… Took me a while to see that was bubble wrap underneath. Thought they were smushed blue beads!
Fantastic jewels!Congratulation!
I LOVE what you made! Everything is wonderful!
Wow! That was a generous helping of soup! Love what you did with it. Beautiful work.
Wow, all of your creations are beautiful! You received a gorgeous soup mix and used is very well!
Beautiful pieces! It’s very hard to pick one favourite. It seems the first one inspires me most, even if I don’t wear blue very often.
I ADORE that soup and love what you’ve made. That first necklace really does it for me!
Love that huge batch of soup – what a creative gift! First let me say your photos are looking so fab, your designs are amazing and I’m always inspired by what you create. I love the texture of the macrame in the first piece with just the smallest touch of fiber that adds so much to the focals. The other three necklaces are perfectly designed and look like they just jumped off the pages of a beading publication. I’m off to check out more of your blog, I haven’t been here in a while!!!
OMG. I am in love with the necklace with the huge green lampwork bead and your first piece, too! Really, anything you make is amazing. You’re an amazing designer I’m proud to call a friend!
Thank you SO MUCH for joining in these parties, and I hope you continue to!!
I love your design, beautiful pieces!
Everything is so beautiful!
Really fun collection from yummy soup!
Beautiful work, lot’s of soup!
Your creations are all gorgeous, but I especially love the necklace with the blue flowers. The knotted segment with the graduating beads definitely caught my eyes.
I liked what you did with your bead soup!!
Love your soup. The pieces are beautiful…all of them.Happy BSBP7.
I think you enjoyed the soup very much! What a lovely bunch of beads did you get! I love color and I love what you did with the beads, great job! Ine

Very pretty pieces. I like the blue flowers.

i am loving what you did with the necklaces. you had such great color palates to work with
Of course, they’re all beautiful, as is everything that comes off of your design table. But I particularly like the mix of materials on either side of the first necklace, and the last necklace grabs me because I’m a ridiculous sucker for purple. Is that a clasp you used as the pendant on the final one? Very cool!
Wow! You received a very generous soup and did great things with it! I particularly love the desing of the neckalce with the butterflies. It’s amazing!
Ambra
Dear Cece, you are amazing! I love all your pieces (of course), but the first necklace left me breathless. I adore it!
WOW!…on both the beautiful soup & your creations! Love them all, but I particularly like the simplicity of the 1st design with the wire wrapped daisies. So unique & pretty.
fanatastic floral elements in the first necklace and great use of the focal, congratulations!
Super gorgeous! I love the metal with a flash of color. Those purple lampworked beads with the silver on the last necklace is my favorite! Nice photos too…:)

Thanks for showing it in such lovely photos, too!

You have beautiful soup indeed =)
*bravo* for your creations.
Every piece is beautiful. I love what you made.
I like your work. It ia nice to see vintage-inspired jewelry that is not too sweet for a grown-up woman.
What a heaping helping of soup (both recieved and produced)!! Everything is just beautiful!
Wow you had a wonderful pot full of soup to work with didn’t you!!! You did a wonderful job!!! love all the designs. I don’t think I have a favorite! I love all the color and the texture and movement!!! Great Job!!!
I don’t think that you need to hope that someone will like your pieces. They are all so incredible. I am totally in love with the first two necklaces. The knotting is so beautiful.
Each piece is so unique. I particularly like how you used metal and texture with a few jolts of colour.
Such beautiful creations!! What a yummy bead soup! Great job on the designs!
You were sent pretty things and you created beautiful jewelry.
Your necklace with the large colorful focal is outstanding, but your delicately made bracelet steals the show!
Well, your design time may have been limited, but your designs were not! Love how you put the beads into the chain, such a nice effect!
Man O Man! You received the soup of the century! And what you did with it is next to fabulous! Oh, wait a minute…it is FABULOUS! I would proudly wear any of your creations. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
Wow! What an amazing soup you had to work with. You made some beautiful, unique pieces.
Wow, stunning pieces… I particularly love that large glass focal and what you did with it. What a soup!

Wow! Everything is so, so lovely! I am totally in awe of what you made–beautiful work! š
Very pretty pieces! Looks like your partner sent you soup for the whole block! Congratulations!
Really like the blue necklace. Is there blue cording going through the chain?
Lovely pieces! My favourite is the etched flower focal.
Such yummy goodness in your bead soup! Looks like you will more to cook up with what is left. I love the creations you have made for the party. I thnk my favorite is the first necklace with the blue flower beads.
Love them all! That last one, though? Dee-vine!! Graple really speaks to me right now.
I love the pieces you made with your soup! My favorite is the blue flower necklace!
Great pieces, Cece – that first one is perfection. I love what you did with the flowers and how you varied the bead sizes in the macrame piece. Great look.
Amazing job with the blue flowers!
Lovely creations from a wonderful soup!
