I am participating again in Lori Anderson’s Bead Soup Blog Party. My partner is Judy Riggs of Rigglettes. She sent me the most wonderful “soup” a few weeks ago. The soup sat on my work table for a while, during which time, I thought of the many things I could make. And finally, I decided to make what I would like to wear. And here are the things I came up with:
First off, I love the lampwork beads she sent me. And I wanted the unique glass focal to be seen, so I made a lariat style necklace which clasps in the front. I clustered all the beads together to make one big drop:
I like to wear earrings, and I like them simple, so I hung the lampwork beads from Bali sterling earwires:
As bracelets go, I like them chunky. So, I strung the beads up, and doubled them:
At first, I didn’t know what to do with the nice handmade headpins. Then I thought, make a chain necklace! I think it came out nice:
And finally, the “quirky components” Judy sent, were made into a “groovy” belt for my Blythe girl, Pinkie – wish I had one life size 🙂

Sometimes making something YOU know YOU like is the best route and it totally worked out for you in this case. Making the chain with the headpins was such a good idea too…so unique!!
Linda –
What a great job you did with my soup! My favorite is the necklace – very clever use of the toggle. This was such fun, I love seeing what everyone makes – You were a great partner, all of the care that went into the soup you sent was obvious – You sent such a variety I was really challenged which is exactly why we should do things like this! Thanks again – Judy
