Voilà, c’est le grand jour.
L’échange de perles organisé par Lori Anderson de Pretty Things Blog.
Vous vous souvenez des perles que Merja Sundström m’avait envoyé de Finlande.
Un choix magnifique. Vous pouvez lui rendre visite sur son blog Suntsan Supersimppelit et voir ce qu’elle a fait avec les perles que je lui ai envoyé.
You remember the beads Merja had sent me from Finland.
A beautiful selection. You can visit her blog Suntsan Supersimppelit and see what she did with the soup I sent her.
Here is what I made.
First a necklace with the Golem Studio pendant and the Glass Bead Art beads.
Then another necklace with the onyx beads and the silk ribbon. I bezeled an amethyst cabochon and wove two tube beads.
Then I used the clasp, the amethyst rounds and the two Bali silver beads with a Round Rabbit bat pendant.
Next, the bracelets.
The first one with the coral beads, some Blueberribeads ceramic beads and some glass spacers from Pebbledreams.
Another one with the twisted onyx beads,
I had four Glass Bead Art beads left, enough to make to pairs of earrings

I had the Golem Studio beads left, I associated them with others I had in my stash and other more rustic ceramic beads from Warmceramics for this necklace.

As usual, Karin, I am overcome with the brilliant quality of your work. You have such a great eye. That first one actually made me gasp. And the velvet ribbon was the perfect touch for the next one. Looking at the soup, I expected that you'd put the red and purple together, but what you did do was so much nicer. Lovely work.
