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)

Nice bracelet! I love these colours! Greetings, Michi

Very colorful and full of fun and whimsy, great creations. Vonna
What a beautiful focal bead and I love how you created your bracelet. Sometimes we need to wait for beads to speak to us and I'm glad yours did in time for you to finish on time!
You rock - wire bending on line??? Love that happy colorful focal. The earrings are perfect!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this economy is completely in the toilet XOXO
Nice bracelet. Good work!!
Nice wirework, and lovely composition!
That's committed to be wrapping at a job fair! I love that focal in the bracelet, and you did a great job!
I hope you'll join me for the next party! The badge and dates are up on my blog!
Love, Lori
The bracelet is awesome - really love the heart links you used with the heart shaped beads for the earrings - great work!
Super bracelet. Sorry about the disappointing Jobs Fair. The right time will come -- it took me a year. We’re all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!
Enjoy the hop,

Stunning - love the focal and the wire wrapping you did around it! Those earrings are awesome too! Good luck on the job hunting!!!
I forgot where I was and who I have visited but hopefully I get to everybody!
Your bracelet is fantastic! Both the soup you sent and received are beautiful. Congrats on your publishing in bead trends :)
WOW---These are bright and beautiful! You did a great job!
Wrapping at a job fair? This could be a new way to relax your mind and clear your ideas.
That bracelet is really original and colourful.
Good luck with everything!

Lovely designs. Love the colors
Be Blessed to be a blessing
So fun and summery, like wearing a flower garden on your wrist!
What a fun bracelet! I love how you wire worked everything together into a thick bangle :)
Beautiful bracelet - love the details!
The bracelet is wonderful. Very springy. The wire wrapping you did is great.
I 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!
What a funky bracelet, and the earrings are so fun!
I love all you have cooked up with your soup. Nice job with the design.
beautiful creations, love the bracelet
Lovely pieces! The bracelet is wonderful!
Serena, that bracelet is AWESOME! Love it!! Way to go, fellow Detroiter!! :) -Andrea

What a bold, fun focal! And what a cheerful bracelet you made with it!
Great job, love that bracelet and the earrings!
Such a unique piece!
Great job - the wirewrapping is a nice contast to the focal.
Terri
What a fun bracelet...bold and colorful too-just like I like :) Glad you finished it!!!
Love that you made that bracelet into a cuff style - how incredibly unique! Looks great!
That is a beautiful bracelet. Great job with your soup.
Love your work!!
Your 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.
Those earrings are darling as well!
What fun pieces! So sweet!
So fun & colorful!
Love the bracelet! Great job with your soup!
Love the subtle double hearts for the earrings. And the bracelet is a show stopper. Very cool! You did a Soup-er job with your mix!
love the bracelet
love the bracelet and love the earrings- you rocked it! Beautiful work!
You did a great job! :)
The bracelet is really cool, but I LOVE those earrings. Your amazing color sense must come from the fabrics you work with.
Good luck with the job search!

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.
Therese
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!
Your 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!
such 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.
Nice work on the bracelet but those earrings are just lovely :)
Best 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!
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment, still trying to get around all the blogs.
Love 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.
I love that focal and you made it gorgeous the way you balanced it with the tapered straps on the bracelet! Love It!!
Still making the rounds and tasting all the bead soups. :) Great job with you soup. Those earrings are darling. Good luck with the job hunt.
Great pieces, love the bracelet.
What a cool bracelet!
What 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!
That's a lovely bracelet!
And 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!
