Bead Soup Reveal!

Here it is!

 As a reminder, the way this works is that I received a package of beads from my partner, Krafty Max that included among other things a beautiful red flower focal bead and a floral clasp that I needed to incorporate into my creation.  The flower clasp was far too beautiful to place in the back of the necklace though! I tried this out a couple of ways, first with the smaller silver flower from the clasp as the top piece leading to the larger flower that would sit lower on the body, but ultimately I decided on really putting the focus on that beautiful reddish orange flower.  If you read about my inspiration, you'll see why I chose to add the turquoise color palette that I did.  I happened to also have some really interesting mixed beads that actually incorporated that red color along with a couple of shades of turquoise.  I hadn't made anything with these yet, so this seemed like the perfect project to add them in.
I can't wait to see what everyone else has created, especially my partner! I'm off to visit her site myself...


And remember, there are three reveals this time around, so this list is only the first group. I can't believe how many people are participating in all three reveals.  Please visit these other amazing artists!
