The blog party has begun!! My Bead Soup partner Suzann Sladcik Wilson (www.beadphoria.wordpress.com) gave me such a pretty combination of beads. I loved all the purples and grays and had such a great time making this piece. At first I wasn't sure where I was going with all these beads. I would put my design all together on my bead board, and then keep starting over. I started out making this a two strand necklace, but some how it turned into a very long one strand necklace. I loved the focal bead so much that I thought this is how it would stand out the most. I want to have a giveaway for this necklace, so anyone who would like to participate just leave a comment and follow my blog and I will pick a winner June 28. Thank you Lori Anderson (www.prettythingsblog.com) for having the bead soup party, I had so much fun and can't wait for the next one!
