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.
