It’s been a long wait, but Lori Anderson’s Bead Soup Party <\/a>\u00a0is happening right here, right now!\u00a0 Lori had a brilliant idea to create an online party, and more than 80<\/strong> jewelry designers joined in.\u00a0 We were all paired off, traded beads, \u00a0and set off to create .\u00a0 Today you<\/em> can join the party too by stopping by and seeing all of the jewelry designs that were kept under wraps.\u00a0 First I have to give Lori a great big shout out:\u00a0 You are amazing!\u00a0 Thank you, Lori, for bringing us all together…you have been the best<\/span> host!\u00a0 Let’s plan a Party Participant reunion, round II! \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll admit, I was one lucky<\/span> lady to be paired with Lyn Foley<\/a>.\u00a0 Lyn is a lampwork bead artist as well as an amazing jewelry designer – wait til you see here beautiful designs here<\/a>.\u00a0 When I first visited Lyn’s site {insert -thank you Lori for introducing us to such wonderful people!} and saw her sheer talent with glass, my\u00a0 mind started racing with possibilities.\u00a0 I have always <\/em>had a love for wire with lampwork.\u00a0 Then I’ll admit, a little worry crept in… what could I ever create to do justice to\u00a0her beads??\u00a0\u00a0 Lyn sent me some of her “tribal shield” beads – a bead design that was inspired by her trip to Africa with her husband.\u00a0 I started with a few design ideas in my head….but somehow the necklace took shape with a life of its own.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My creation includes many feet of sterling silver wire, hand-cut jump rings, and onyx beads wrapped in a chunky herringbone weave – this does sound like a recipe, after all it’s Bead Soup!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lyn’s husband is a talented silversmith – he created this beautiful sterling silver leaf clasp<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
