BEAD SOUP CREATIONS

Sorry for posting a day late, but once again was in the hospital.  I was unable to originally post a pic of the soup I received because I was having problems with Chrome and my blog and was unable to access my blog. First, here is a pic of the soup I sent:

Here is a pic of the Soup I received.  (The turquoise necklace and anchor bracelet were freebies and not actually part of the soup.)
Soup I received

My partner's blog can be viewed here  http://www.tappingflamingo.blogspot.com/

I, unfortunately couldn't seem to come up with anything for the ribbons but I did make three items.

1) Using the purple beads, focal and very beautiful clasp along with some of my own beads, (I wanted to pick beads that complimented her beads but didn't not take away from them. I hope I succeeded.) This is what I created.
 Necklace using purple beads, focal and clasp.

2)  I also made a bracelet using some of the flower beads she send along with some flat flower beads and leaves from my own stash.
 Bracelet using flower beads

3)  She sent a few paper beads she had made and was hoping I would try to use them.  I  really didn't know what kind of beads you would use with paper beads so I made a simple bracelet using a few seed beads as spacers.  (the paper beads  are really very cute!)  Nice work Terry!
Simple bracelet using paper beads.

I hope everyone like the items I created.

    I like the way you used the purple beads, but I am very fond of blue, so the bracelet is my favorite :)

    You made some lovely creations ! I wouldn't have thought to use a focal with a big hole the way you have, most likely - the end results are splendid !

    Donuts focal are beautiful but not easy to use, your necklace is perfect though! I love the color combo, perfectly balanced, and also the paper beads are super!

    Hiya! - How creative to add dangles to the focal. I see *so many* of these beads and it's the first I've seen like this. GREAT job!

    These are really pretty designs. The purple and pink necklace has wonderful texture and movement and the blue flower bracelet has great texture and I love the way you mixed the flat and the more 3d flowers together. And I agree the paper beads are really cute. Nice bracelet! Have a Blessed Day!
