Well, it's that time again! :) I am so thrilled to share with you the Bead Soup that I recieve from my fabulous partner Jennifer Pottner from Rock Candy Beads. She also has a delightful shop on Etsy called Rock Candy Bead Studio where you can purchase your own awesome stuff if you like what you see! :) I have had these delightful gems sitting here looking at me while I have been way too busy doing "summertime stuff"...but today I thought it was ABOUT TIME I GOT BUSY...because tomorrow, well tomorrow I get to reveal my creations using Jennifer's AMAZING soup she sent to me!
Here I have the soup as a whole, it contains Jennifer's very own Raku beads and focal, her very own lampwork, some adorable peridots, quartz & amethysts, some larger jewel agates and sage amethysts, some oh so yummy fresh water pearl nuggetts, some tourmaline slabs, some enameled clasps and some really fun and funky hammered chain!!! TALK ABOUT A SOUP TO DROOL OVER!!! I love it all!!!
But I just HAD to show you her focal...you see it in the center of the photo above...it has the large silver swirl in the center....well as I was looking at it I noticed two things...one - the focal itself has a beautiful rainbow splash of color on the bottom edge and two - the swirly "bail/holder" was COVERING THAT UP!!! So I decided to disect the piece just a bit and guess what I found - the focal piece came right out of the swirly holder and now would you look at this!???
Can you see the splash of irredescence on the bottom edge??? Isn't that GORGEOUS??? I can't wait to show off this piece...and the best part? TOMORROW IS THE BIG REVEAL!!! I hope you can make it back to see what I have made with these delicious components that Jennifer sent to me! The big reveal is in just a few hours (I plan on posting close to midnight EST) Hope to see you all soon! Enjoy!
