| Harvest Dance necklace; focal and toggle clasp by BSBP partner Barbe St. John |
 |
| I love this resin and brass cowgirl toggle that Barbe made! |
Thanks to a LOT of hard work by
Lori Anderson, the Bead Soup Blog Party is here! As always, I had a great time working with the treasures that BSBP partner
Barbe St. John of
Saints and Sinners sent me; above is what I made from the awesome focal, toggle clasp, sari silk, and autumn-hued beads that Barbe picked out for me. I added in some striped glass rounds I found at Michael's the day before I got Barbe's package; the rest of the beads are from her and I still have some left over! Big thanks to Barbe for being so generous and for nudging me enough out of my comfort zone that I decided to just cut loose all expectations and play. Barbe, I hope you had fun with what I sent you, too, and thank you again, especially for the extra-special Albuquerque
Wanderlust pendant! (I'll be showing that off soon; I'm composing a special piece just for me...)
Thank you, too, for visiting -- now it's time to blog hop! Go
here for the full list of participants and their partners -- I know, that's a LOT of blog hopping, but you will love what you see! Enjoy the eye candy!

Awesome clasp, it totally deserves to be shown off in the front where it can be see! Really nice color combination too and I'm starting to really lust for some of that sari silk ribbon by now. It's everywhere!
Fantastic colour and combination! It feels warm and summery! Love it!
You did an awesome job, showcasing the clasp but yet allowing the pendant to also shine!
Vibrant colors, very beautiful

Coolest toggle ever! Love your necklace and that you went with a bright color pallet. Soup-er job!

The focal is so nice and you did a great, bright work!

Such a great design! Your use of color is very subtle, even though you're using bold color. That is, you've made it a bold-neutral!
