So, I finally finished up my Bead Soup piece, using the focal that I was sent. Now, some jewelry purists are probably going to cry foul on this one, since it doesn’t actually require any jewelry making ability, just the ability to tie knots, but I saw this on a blog many moons ago and filed it away, just waiting to find a donut pendant large enough to make a statement. When I got my soup, I knew that I finally had the right pendant for the job. It’s part necklace, part scarf (if you have hung around here for half a hot minute, you know my love for scarves!). Instructions for the necklace are here. The only thing I did additional was knot some of the brass spacers to the ends of the scarf for a little extra pizzazz.Thanks for being patient with me and waiting on me to finish up. And if you haven’t already, visit here to see all of the other participant’s masterpieces!
So, if you are counting, that is only 6 gifts, so what was the 7th gift of the week, you ask? It was these little pieces of yummy goodness. I received 4 of these little Cherry Ripe bars, yes you are only seeing 2 in the photo, because the other 2 were scarfed down pretty quickly! They are a mix of coconut, cherries and dark chocolate and they are some kind of good! Thanks again, Illene! More to come next week!
