TahDahhhh! I made a bracelet with my focal bead(s)--a generous trio, and floral clasp from Jeanette in the Bead Soup Party exchange. I love the colors in the beautiful lentils by artist Dawn White and the substantial floral sterling clasp I received. Blues and greens with a dash of black, flowers and leaves and what you get is a simple, sweet bauble to grace the wrist.
Join me today in checking out all the wonderful bead soup designs by the bodacious list of participants below--I know I'm going to love seeing all the great eye candy and I hope you do too! My first stop will be to see what my exchange partner Jeanette, at Jeannette Blix Wire and Metal Jewelry did with the bead soup I sent her!

2. Mallory, For the Love of Beads
With some unexpected family responsibilities this past month, I haven't had much time to 'play' with my stash of jewelry components, so this virtual party gave me a wonderful excuse to take a few minutes for myself and remember why I love playing with beads so much.

Awesome! I knew you'd make a bracelet! :-) Yours are famous! And I'm totally jealous of that clasp!
This bracelet is just stunning! And...inspiring as well! I have some of the same beads in my stash and you have definitely got my Muse dancing:) I really want to know...where did you get that fabulous silver leaf bead? YUM!
Very cool Rickie! Love the design and colors.
Such a beautiful piece wish I had it to grace my wrist.
You´re a magician dear Rickie, love what you have done and the clasp is just wonderful.
You must have had a lot of fun,

I am so in awe of people who can use green! It's such a difficult color for me! (I mean it's not like half of nature is green or anything like that.) Great job!
Ricki, wow, I love what you created with Dawn White's lampwork beads. I never knew what to create with them..you are such a natural..stunning!!!!!!
such beautiful beads and clasp! I love how you put it all together in an eye-catching bracelet!
Enjoy the Party!
