8th Annual Bead Soup - Reveal !!!!!

I am posting before the midnight reveal time - I have to assemble all my stuff for my demos tomorrow , wash clothes, do litter, garbage and have a bath - so I dont want to forget -  So here it is !!!  The Reveal !!!

I want to thank Jo-Ann Woolverton for the wonderful soup that she sent to me -

 I loved the colors as soon as I opened the bag and within a couple of days had the components all made and it was just assembly I had to do- which of course I procrastinated  until 2 weeks ago

so from this beautiful Soup


to this

to see how I made the copper piece go to the end of the thread 

Assembly was a bit tough - but thankfully I was able to work in the studio so I could use the torch to torch wire ends which was the plan all along 

so 

I spread everything out 

wired up some dangles 

then I took them apart and did torched wire ends rather than wound ends 

then sealed my copper etched piece and let dry 

set out to see next step 

with the dangle attached I worked on the necklace attachment 

attached 

assembled the beautiful blue glass 

and finally the center piece 

then I did the last add on for the toggle for size 

All in all a very fun Bead Soup

I really need to take better pictures 

A lot of people are asking how I made the copper piece to sett my necklace
