Yeh! finally the auspicious day of the bead soup party has arrived . Here is my dish to share:
But before that let me show my ingredients that I received from my partner Alicia.
I was so happy to see the amethyst stone. Now this will give me an opportunity to practice the wire wrapping that I am trying to accomplish.
This was my first attempt for this kind of work.
In the beginning I used just a silver chain for this necklace...nah it did not quite do it. Then a few pearls and stones with wire work...still it did not look quite right on me.
So I used the amethyst stone chips she sent me and added some more from my stash. It looked right. At least to me.
Last Friday around 1 pm I was done with the necklace. So I wanted to do a matching pair of earrings
and then headed to a baby shower party Saturday morning. Yes, some people did notice and were kind enough to shower me with compliments.
I am so anxious to see what Alicia made with the packet that I sent to her. She is a very creative jewelry artist. You may find her blog and shop here.
And please be sure to check all the other members who took part in this Bead soup party.
My heartfelt thanks to Lori Anderson who hosted this party.
It was a lot of work for you,Lori, a big THANK YOU for all that you have done behind the stage and those email reminders you sent to keep us on track.
It was fun.

What an incredible focal you got! It is stunning. And the wire work on it is just the way to go. I love it.
Your necklace is beautiful! Great job for a "1st" attempt..Wow!
The wire wrapping on the necklace is gorgeous! You did that stone proud!
That is a focal! You did wonderfully! Love how you bulked up strand with the chips.
This is your first try at wirework? Holy smokes! Beautiful!!
OMG, Dita, you did it! I might send the rest of the stones to you for wrapping, that's such a neat idea, adding the chips asymmetrically, to match the necklace body. I love it, you did a gorgeous job :)
What a beautiful focal! I love your final product.
Your set is so beautiful, I like the way you worked with the centerpiece.
Lovely greetings

For a first attempt that's awesome! I'm so glad you tried a new technique for the party, and I hope you'll join me again this summer!
Beautiful necklace! Adding colour and "fullness" by using chips instead of a chain was a really good idea. Looks great!
I love the "chai" you maid with those chips. It really adds dimension and wow factor. Cool job on the wire-wrapping, too!
