Hello all you soup-ers and welcome to my bead soup!  My partner for this go around was the lovely Eleanor from Corner Store Goddess.  This is what she sent me to play with - a dragon fly themed soup that I loved instantly:




I am all about long necklaces lately.  I played around with some chain, and then thought of glueing on a bail or drilling a hole into the focal, to suit a lariat design I had in mind.  Then I pawed through my stuff and found some gold colored beading wire, a couple of my own lamp work beads and a bunch of the soup, and had one side designed. I found some interesting chain, then decided to add seed beads to the beading wire to make it as long as the chain.  I was stumped by the clasp - so decided to use the dragon fly portion as a charm on the chain side along with a sparkly dangle.  I am generally a matching/symmetrical design person, so I wanted to ignore all that and see where it ended up.  What do you think?

One hard thing about long necklaces?  How to capture it all in a picture.  I have a dress form I got from Ikea of all places - it's meant for kids rooms - but luckily it's long enough to see most of the necklace:

I made some earrings too!


Many thanks to our hostess, and please take some time to check out all the other soupers!

  17. Oh the asymetry works beautifully! I love the idea of mixing seed bead strands with chain. Perfect little earrings too. Sigh! I'm in love!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Very pretty. I particularly like the earrings as they really capture the lightness of the dragonfly - look like they could up and fly away at any moment. Well done.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  28. You are so right about how hard it is to capture a long necklace in a photograph. But you made a beautiful necklace and managed to show it off very well! The matching earrings are perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Very nice pieces :-) I love the necklace because of the combiantion of beads, chain and seed beads. And the focal is beautiful. Great soup!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Hi Elisabeth, You did a wonderful job of asymmetrical. Your necklace is great and so are the earrings.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I have tried asymmetrical, my brain just doesn't really want to wrap around it and ultimately makes it symmetrical lol Great soup!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love the earth tones of the soup you received. I love how you incorporated the focal in the necklace and how it's symmetrical. I like how you made earrings with the left overs. A great set.
