Welcome to the second round of reveals for Lori Anderson's 6th Bead Soup Blog Party! My partner, Paige Maxim, sent me a selection of beautiful beads that presented quite a challenge. Please be sure to hop on over to her blog to see what she's made with her soup selection!
The focal bead I received is a decoupaged rose image on a black wooden tile. I decided to make a tin bezel to house the tile and provide a decorative image on its back. The color of the tin relates well with the earth tone of the beads.
Paige provided a really fun copper clasp which I oxidized and tumbled to create a lovely gunmetal color.
Detail of tin bezel made to enhance the focal tile.
I also received a really fun selection of flower charms that she'd made from vintage lucite jewelry.
I though one of the smaller charms would make a great ring,
and voila, it's a ring!
This size seven cutie has as 10mm wide band that's cut from 21 gauge double clad silver plate sheet. I've attached the lucite flowers by inserting a miniature stainless steel nut and bolts. The hardware is concealed with a little dab of colored coordinated resin.
Oh, and didn't I say something about a give~away?!
Yes, I did, and the winner is...
Crafty Hope!

Therese
I am still blog hopping! Love the gunmetal necklace and the lovely frame for the tile pendant! Awesome color theme! I am also doing a giveaway on my blog!
I would love to win your ring!!
What a great necklace! Perfect for fall. And yes, those flowers rock!
Love that tin bezel that you made. So pretty - much prettier than the back of a piece of wood! That necklace is gorgeous. Now, about that ring. You say you just decided to make a ring and voila! it was a ring. I just tried that and it didn't work. Did I leave something out. Is there something you have to do after the "decision"? Great job!
LOL Jean!
There was a little bit more to it than "voila". I'm planning to make a few more and will do a quick tutorial.
Hopping by to tell you I love your necklace and ring is so cute!
Oh I love what you did with your soup, the ring is so happy and the tin bezel looks perfect with your focal. Beautiful job.
Gorgeous necklace. I too like to repurpose things.Thanks for a chance to win you ring. It's very kool!
Oh my, I absolutely love that necklace focal you created...spectacular!! The back reminds me of old tin ceilings. Very cool!
The ring is precious! What a great idea!
