I received a very pretty bead soup from my partner Roxanne Blanc at </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She sent two focals and I chose to use the round pendant with attached bail. It matched the chain she sent perfectly. I added several of the large turquoise colored jasper beads, two of the round filigree beads and some hematite beads from my collection.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also made a bracelet using the lampwork glass beads Roxanne provided. I wire wrapped them and added a second strand of mixed glass beads, and a coordinating ribbon. The magnetic clasp makes putting this bracelet on a breeze. I also added some green leaf dangles which are hard to see in this picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I also made some colorful earrings using the fancy rivoli beads as the dangles on these earrings. I love the colors together.</span><br />

I was surprised to see we were on the same wavelength with what we sent to each other... I sent beads to her in the same colors and shapes, a different mix of materials, but very similar overall. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Roxanne's blog is at <a href="http://strikesmyfancy-2013.blogspot.com/">strikesmyfancy-2013.blogspot.com</a>. She is a professional pattern designer and seamstress. She participated in the Bead Soup Blog Party last year and had a great design using the soup she received then. Here's the link to her BSBP post from last year: <a href="http://strikesmyfancy-2013.blogspot.com/2013/04/bead-soup-blog-party-reveal.html">http://strikesmyfancy-2013.blogspot.com/2013/04/bead-soup-blog-party-reveal.html</a>.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am definitely feeling challenged by the rivolis and the metal focal with places for inserting cabachons, crystals or... something.... that will take some thought! I love the chain and metal lentil beads too. </span><br />
