I have received, an Agate focal along with some, Jade, Amazonite, Bronzite, Cracked Agate, Tiger Eye, Carnelian and Rock Crystal Quartz to play with and used almost all of it. Mary also made the clasp with Apatite wired to it I used on the bracelet and the earwires I used on the Jade earrings.
I added a few things from my collection to make up the following pieces.
I had such fun with this, my first Bead Soup Blog Party.
The necklace features the Agate focal, along with Jade, Amazonite, Carnelian and Cracked Agate from Mary. I added the chain, clasp and spacers from my stash.
I used the Cracked Agate, Rock Crystal Quartz Nuggets and the pretty Apatite beads from Mary and added the Carnelian and round Crystal Quartz and metal. Mary also made the beautiful clasp for this bracelet.
These earrings feature the Bronzite Mary sent and I added the metal and some Tiger Eye to balance these out.
Mary made the earwires from sterling and the Jade and Carnelian are from the soup she sent.
The book thong is made with the Tiger Eye and Carnelian chips Mary sent. I added the charm.
The ring is my OUT OF THE BOX project. I've never made a ring before and had one lonely Rock Crystal left that Mary sent .....so I tried my hand at ring making...after the third try I was pleased with this one. I added some Cracked Black Agate with it.
Now it's time to see what the others in the party made. Thank you Lori for hosting and allowing me to take part.

Tamara - You totally rocked your first Bead Soup Blog Party. Congrats on your outstanding work!
I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.
The ring -- amazing! Very well done! And I love how well you worked with the gemstones!
I hope you’ll participate again!
Love, Lori
Fantastic! We’re all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!
Enjoy the hop,

Another over-achiever!! Great job Terry. I've never thought to make a book thong. Cool idea. And the ring is awesome...great job - I think you said it was your first one! Cool, and I like the black crackle agate. I've used those beads before and am a fan. They are so texturally interesting.
I think I just called you Terry. Oops! Sorry! I've got too many blogs on the brain!
Very pretty! The necklace is especially nice!
Wow, so many lovely creations. Wonderful job with your soup.
Your jewelry all looks so much fun and can't believe all you made. Love the ring.

Clever display of your bead soup. Great design. I want that Ring:)

Great job, the bracelet is my favorite!
You were a busy bee! All of your pieces are stunning, beautiful work!
You've been busy! I particularly like what you did with the agate pendant, you've really brought the colours out.
Tamara! Oh goodness, I love all of what you created with your awesome soup mix! That ring, though, I love how you went out of the box with it ;)
Just beautiful work. I love the wire work on the focal and really love the colors!
Tamara, everything looks amazing! Such fun pieces! Really love your out of the box project... way to do something new and exciting!
I love gemstones and I love your pieces, they are beautiful, particularly the first necklace and the book thong, what an idea!
love the leftover ring :-D
I can't believe you have never made a ring before because that is my favorite piece!
Tamara - you made gorgeous pieces. And the book-thong what a cool idea!
Tamara, oh some very lovely pieces...I think my favorite piece would have to be the Bronzite earrings...but, then there are the lovely necklaces....Thanks so much for visiting my soup! If only the seed beads could talk....nasty little buggers!!! I visited some of your other work and oh so many pretties!
Nice designs. I see your soup mix kept on giving so you could create all these wonderful pieces. You really have a nack for showcasing each of these semi-precious gem stones. Soup-er Fantastic!
Gorgeous! I love that necklace!
Great job incorporating your soup mix! I love the colors, and your designs are beautiful. Love the ring! :)
You made so many lovely pieces! Even a book thong & a ring - amazing work!!
Tamara,
All of your pieces are simply beautiful. However, I adore that necklace with the agate focal. Your design does a great job of almost mimicking the stripes on the agate. VERY COOL.
Great job on that ring as well. My attempts at ring-making have been less successful. Yours is super!
WOW! So many pieces - they look great!
Julie and Andrea
Very cool pieces! Great work on all of it, love the ring!

Beautiful jewellery! I especially like the necklace and how the beads pick up the colours in the focal. Great job!
You made a ring for your outside the box project - amazing - it looks like you a re a pro - how fun it will be to wear. And a book thong....what a great idea! Now I have things on my list of must make! :)
I was going to say that the earrings with the rings and dangles were my favorite until I saw the ring - SO cool! And you were very busy making lots of prettiness.
Pretty! Love the necklace especially.
Nice job on everything! The necklace with the large focal is so pretty. And your ring turned out excellent! Hard to beleive that you had not made one before!!
