Bead Soup Blog Party – the reveal!
Here it is folks… the necklace that I made with the bead soup sent to me by Cristi Clothier.
I added in some freshwater pearls, vintage sugar beads, czech glass pendants and lucite rounds in the same color as the crystals. I had these other beads all set aside because I thought they would work well together, but never had the inspiration to make anything with them…until the bead soup arrived!
