I'm so excited!
362 participants from 5 continents in 21 countries show what they have created!
If you still don't know what Bead Soup Party is, please go to Lori Anderson's Blog. Lori is the host of this event, and she does an incredibly wonderful job!
Thank you, Lori!
Now here is what my partner Jo from the UK sent me:
Please don't forget to hop over to her blog and see what she has created from the beads I sent to her!!! She is so talented!!!
When I first saw all those beautiful, shiny beads, I felt a little rebellious. Oh, I really loved them! Especially the lampwork beads are exquisite!!! And Jo made the soldered copper rings and the clasp by hand! Just beautiful!
But I thought I'd have to make something odd. And I tried. But whatever I did, Jo's handmade components and the lampwork beads were shadowed by the other components I had added. I wasn't happy with it at all!
Then I let the soup simmer again. The beads stayed in their bowl and I looked at them every day. The more I looked at them, the more I thought: "These are lovely beads! I could create something lovely with them! Why not just go for it!?"
I separated the purple beads from the white and decided to go with the purple and the copper for my bead soup party piece: a bracelet. A lovely bracelet that shall remind me on my lovely partner Jo and this wonderful event.
(There is a white necklace in the making and I have worked all night to finish it, but I didn't succeed.)
I linked the copper rings together using double head pins that I had made from some of the purple beads, some copper wire and UTEE.The lampwork beads are being accompanied by some of my etched copper bead caps (plus purple glass bead caps on one).
I know there are a lot of blogs to hop this time, but you can find some incredible artists here, so don't hesitate to visit as many of the blogs as possible!

Oh that is beautiful Janna! The purple and copper go together beautifully, and I love the bead caps you made. Just gorgeous! I've had such a great time during the build up to the party, and I've loved getting to know you. Thank you for being such a fabulous partner - and I really really hope you like what I made with your sea urchin! I'm wearing it as I type :)

That is so beautiful. I love how you really showcase the beads.
Terri
A wonderful bracelet, I like the way you combinated the beads with the rings and gave them a special cap.
Greetings, Michi
ich mag Schmuck mit Kupfer verarbeitet sehr und dieses Teil ist besonders gut gelungen
Grüßle
Doris
It's gorgeous - I love it!
The bracelet is beautiful, love how you showcase the focal beads, they all go so well together.
Purple and copper one of my favorite and that clasp is awesome. You cooked up the perfect soup.
Love! love! love! this bracelet...
Theresa
I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.
I'm in love with this. While I like wild necklaces, I like this style of bracelet. And her toggle is to die for. I love how you made the bracelet both delicate, but substantial (does that make sense?) -- I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I hope you’ll participate again!
Love, Lori
That is such a unique design, and very pretty! I love the delicate shapes- wonderful job!
What a beautiful soup you made my friend, your work is truly stunning!! Thanks for sharing & all I can say is yummmmmy!!!
Beautiful! From the design, to the super cute toggle & gorgeous lampwork!
That bracelet is drop-dead gorgeous! LOVE it!
This is such a gorgeous bracelet! Stunning work!
Oh Janna das ist zum Dahinschmelzen! Einfach nur wunderschön!
Sometimes we are too stuborn to see that somethings will not work out. I've learned to be patient and let the beads speak to me.
Your bracelet is just incredible :-)
this is so beautiful! i love everything about it---the color and feel and style. Gorgeous!
That is so pretty and sweet. I love your bead caps you made to set it off. Everything goes together really well. And I love the colors you picked from the soup for the bracelet.
Really good work. Fine craftsmanship. I'm sure the necklace will be wonderful.
I love the bracelet, the design, the clasp, the colors...everything about it is beautifully done.
Thanks sooo much for the sweet comment that you left me.
Interesting use of the UTEE, I've never seen that before. The bead caps set off the lampwork beads perfectly. Great result.
Wonderful! You have created a terrific piece of wearable art. I like your use of color and texture, and the lampwork beads are fantastic! Thank you for sharing your artistic process along the way. Cheers!
Lori
Your bracelet is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful bracelet! Love the mix of metal and glass.
I am a sucker for lamp-work beads and gemstone beads. You really pulled it off beautifully. We’re all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!
Enjoy the hop,
Emanda

Beautiful!!! Love the colors and the design.
Oh Janna.
This piece is so simply beautiful - I think you were full of wisdom to let these components speak out for themselves. The way it's put together is magnificent - speaks volumes for your design skills.
A beautiful bracelet, so very elegant vintage with the copper and purple tones.
Oh, how I love the dangles on the links... they give the bracelet so much movement. It's really pretty!
I absolutely am in love with your bracelet! The colors are wonderful, and your etched beadcaps are devine!
Thank you for visiting me, you were right about the necklace that is exactly how I envisaged it! What a beautiful bracelet you have made that is such a nice clasp it needed something to do it justice, well done.
Jackie
What a gorgeous bracelet! I just love it! :)
This bracelet is just beautiful!!! I too worked with copper in my soup, a first for me (both the bead soup party and the copper!). I think it looks gorgeous here with purple. Nice work!
Jana, I love it!!! You did an outstanding job of showcasing the beads!
Your bracelet is really wonderful. It definitely gives each of the pieces a chance to shine. I love that you made those bars to wrap around the rings. They're super cool!
Fabulous work overall!!
Very pretty, you let the beads do the talking just as they should.
stunning.....I want it! ;o)
hugs
hello gorgeous xxx
Your soup mix is in one of my favorite color combinations, and I love the bracelet you made with it! The design perfectly showcases the beautiful beads, and the copper brings out the beautiful purple tones. Great job! :)

You worked it really well and the end result is beautiful, just so balanced and easy on the eye. Looks very comfy too. Love the copper clasp and rings and the very interesting double ended connectors... (UTEE)...sorry..what is that? The lamp work beads are stunners. I would buy this beauty!
