Bead Soup Revealed


What fun this was ... what a fantastic way to meet new artists and share our work.  First of all let me say that my photography skills just suck and they absolutely do not do this piece justice.  That being said, here is my finished piece for the bead soup project.  I received the lovely focal piece, silver and clasp from my partner and friend Shea.  I added the purple pearls and dyed quartz.  It really is lovely. Let's try a close-up of the pendant, shall we:

It's perfect, my skills as a photographer -- not so much.  Please come back tomorrow --I'm going to have my son take more pictures.  Until then, please visit Shea and see better photos of her lovely work.

  11. I like it! Keep at it with the photography - it's sooooo worth it! Concentrate on getting a clear image first - you can clean up everything else later with a photo editing program. Good job!

  18. You've done a great job with that beautiful pendant!
    You will get there with the photos, don't worry! Getting a camera with a good macro setting (usually a little flower symbol on the camera)made all the difference to mine.

  21. Photos Schmotos -- it's easy to see the energy and love you put into this beautiful necklace, Sandi -- I'm so touched that something I made wound up in your gifted hands, and I can't wait to show you what I was able to make with the amazing package you sent me! Sadly, I'm still too intimidated by the infinite possibilities of polymer clay, but I'll get there some day!
