Hi All! If you have come by here earlier I'm sorry! I did not get inspired until Wednesday (YES! three days ago Wednesday). I knew when Cryss sent me the soup for this party that the focal would become a bracelet but beyond that I did not have a clue.
The bracelet is a crazy wire wrapped concoction. I wanted to use a bit of everything that was sent. This was so fun! If you would like to know more about Cryss Thain (my partner) just click on her name and to visit her blog click here.
This morning while en route to a job fair (see pic to the right) I was still wire wrapping the bracelet. Job Fair for Quicken Loans in Downtown Detroit. We waited for 3 hours to be turned away because time ran out. They did get two copies of my resume!
Anyway on to the Party...
The pic is the soup I received (to the left) and the soup I gave on the right. I loved this soup and Cryss sent me PINK...lol! And hearts loved it! 3 snaps in a Z! (In Living Colour)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bracelet - love the details!
ReplyDeleteThe bracelet is wonderful. Very springy. The wire wrapping you did is great.
ReplyDeleteI love this, great wirewrapping and such a vibrant happy piece! Have you ever seen any beadwork done by the Huichol indians? The focal sort of reminds me of that. Wonderful job!

ReplyDeleteYour bracelet is so much fun! I love all the color and the way you crafted the whole thing. I don't think I would have thought 'bracelet' upon seeing that focal, but you really made it work! Thanks for opening my eyes to the possibilities.

Serena, I love what you did with the bead soup mix Cryss sent to you. That focal would have had me worried if I had gotten it, but you created a beautiful bracelet.
ReplyDeleteTherese
Beautiful jewellery! The bracelets looks so pretty and fun, makes me think of spring. And I like how you used heart-shaped links in the earrings. Really great work!
ReplyDeleteYour bracelet has me intrigued because I'm not familiar with wire wrapping like that. What a cool idea! I also really enjoyed reading the interviews that you and your partner did. What a great way to learn more about each other!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous colors and a very ornate bracelet! such detail and great wire work! I'm impressed, I am not as patient as you are. very nice.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the bracelet but those earrings are just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your job hunt! You did a superb job, especially with the bracelet. That lovely focal is so detailed and eyecatching I can't imagine how to create with it. Your bead work and wirewrapping do the job splendidly. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and leaving a comment, still trying to get around all the blogs.
ReplyDeleteLove your bracelet, colourful and different.
Good luck with your job hunt.
Wonderful soup that you created. The focal you had to work with was beautiful. Love some of the favorites you picked for bead soup.
ReplyDeleteI love that focal and you made it gorgeous the way you balanced it with the tapered straps on the bracelet! Love It!!
ReplyDeleteStill making the rounds and tasting all the bead soups. :) Great job with you soup. Those earrings are darling. Good luck with the job hunt.
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces, love the bracelet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool bracelet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea to crazy wire wrap the focal into a bracelet - it sits really well. Love the way you emphasized the colours in the focal by surrounding it with beads. And that little bit of green wire that you can see really makes the whole piece pop! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely bracelet!
ReplyDeleteAnd i have been inspired by your resolution of making 1.5 earrings a day! I have been totally flat since my summer holidays, and i need to get cracking for the coming holidays!
