As a reminder, check out this blog post to see the yummy fixins that Susie sent to me:

I just naturally gravitated to the browns and blues, and absolutely fell in love with the pretty ceramic heart focal, and the two ceramic rose beads. So, into the pot those went first, along with the pretty clasp from the fixins, and after much stirring, stringing, and wire bending, here's the result...."Hearts and Flowers Necklace":
Vintage Susie makes the most wonderful pendants from old silver spoons, and the one she sent me was engraved with the fun phrase "A Rare Bird". Hmmm....her package included several cute little wire and bead bird nests, too. Yep, into a new pot of soup those went, along with a Bali silver butterfly from my own collection. Stir, stir, bend wire, bend wire....and voila:
Now, how about a bracelet? Those pieces of sari silk were calling my name, along with the rest of the blue and brown beads.....weave the silk through a bit of chain....stir it altogether, and a bracelet emerges from the pot:
Vintage Susie also sent me the cutest picture of a little girl on a swing, and it was just about the right size to fit into a coppery frame I had bought some time ago. So, trim to fit, add a bit of resin on top, along with just a little bit of bling....
And with that, my first time participating in the Bead Soup Blog Party has come to an end. It has been so much fun....I'll definitely want to join in again next time.
A big, big thank you to my wonderful partner, Vintage Susie. Do go check out her blog at: http://www.vintagesusieandwings.blogspot.com/
And, for our fabulous Party organizer, Lori -- what can I say, but, "You Rock, Girl!!!!"
