This is IT!
Well today is my day for the BIG BEAD SOUP REVEAL! Ta DAAAA! My Bead Soup partner was Tari Kahrs of Pearl and Pebble and she sent me the most wonderful mix of ingredients. The color theme of the ingredients was predominantly green. Green is not a color I normally work with so the challenge was on. I just had to get some orange in there somewhere, so I decided to try using copper wire instead of my usual silver and I just fell in love. Throw in some large carnelian rounds and the color combo is just to die for, if I do say so myself. Tari sent a couple different pieces that could be used as a focal so I picked the one that I thought best fit the color theme of the necklace. I have a bracelet and some earrings in the works with the rest of my ingredients but I just didn’t get time to finish them up before we went on vacation. You can read all about that on our New Lassini Light Works Blog.
Well I won’t hold you in suspense any longer….
What a yummy soup to snack, I love how you used the copper to tie the whole thing together. The clasp and focal really go well together, I would so wear this piece in a heart beat, matches my wardrobe perfectly.
Love it – Tari sent you a really nice soup, but I love even more what you did with it. Simple and wearable. The colors come out great with that copper wire. I would love to see what you will do with the rest….
Totally awesome – color, style, desgin. I’m officially in love!
Lucky you! LOVE the owl
Great job!

This should be used as a teaching example for working with color, so eye-pleasing, a real popper! I admire your wire work also and the use of copper. A stand-out piece!
Thanks everyone for your great comments! I am in love with this one too! But I can’t take all the credit, I had a great soup partner that sent me some really cool stuff to work with! Thanks Tari!!!
Love how this turned out!! Your wire wraps are PERFECT! Nice job- great soup!!
I like the colors very much, the copper and red warmed up that beautiful green. The clasp is so unique -nice to show it in front.
Just perfect — you nailed the colors! I love how the orange warms up the green without overwhelming it, and I think the copper was an awesome choice to “wrap” (heh) it all up. Just a beautiful piece!!
Great color combo!!!!!
What a fantastic soup you had to work from! I love all the colours, the copper is perfect with the beads. A great necklace!
This is just gorgeous! One of my favorite “soups” so far! Not only are the beads and focal beautiful, but you did a terriffic job pulling them together and using the copper wire. Very nice!
I love it – it has a warmth and richness that speaks to me. The copper was a perfect choice and you photographed it so very nicely.
You’ve received a love soup to work with and did a terrific job creating a gorgious necklace
Breathtaking! Love what you did with your soup!
I’m an orange girl, too, so I love that color combination. And the copper really makes the design sing!!! Love it!
Bright, beautiful, rich, warm… so many to describe this necklace! Fantastic!!
