Bead Soup 6: The Third Reveal!

I am posting a tiny bit early in order to attempt to catch the midnight East Coast deadline :)  Here we go!

My wonderful partner for this last reveal was the lovely Cynthia Riggs, you can view her blog and her soup post here:  http://cynthsblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/bead-soup-is-served-hope-youre-hungry.html

Cynthia sent me the most wonderful soup and I have both loved working with it and getting to know her.  She is such a kind and lovely person, I am so fortunate :)  Here is the link to my original post with my soup:
http://soulsfiredesigns.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-soup-has-arrived.html

And here is my first piece that I created!

Gypsy Soul Necklace

This piece has the gorgeous enameled filigree flower Cynthia made for me and the clasp she included, along with some of the lovely green czech tear drops and sari silk she sent.  I added large sky blue glass seed beads and a little Vintaj chain.  I love how cheerful this necklace is, I think it is fun and has a bohemian flavor ;).

Next up...
Wander this World Earrings

These earrings feature a pair of blue czech glass beads in a really fun shape Cynthia sent, along with some of the red vintage czech glass and the pair of sweet keys she enameled in blue.  I used Patina Queen's wire to form the ear wires and Vintaj large brass rings.  These are really long and make gorgeous music as they sway, perfect for wandering the world... 

And last but not least...

Wisdom of the Forest Bracelet

This bracelet features the beautiful green czech glass Cynthia sent, I paired it with a sweet owl charm from Patina Queen, dark green agate, and a cute little czech maple leaf.  It is all hand knotted on Irish waxed linen thread from White Clover Kiln on Etsy.

I really enjoyed my soup this time as always.  Thank you so much, Cynthia, for being an awesome partner.  Thank you, Lori, for being such an incredibly dedicated hostess :)  Now... on to the rest of the party!
