Welcome to the 2014 Bead Soup Blog Party hosted by Ms. Lori Anderson of Pretty Things Blog.
This is my 4th party and this year, I was paired with Peggy of Charm Barn. I love the assortment of bright and interesting beads and findings. She gave so much beads that I was able to make 3 pieces and have leftover beads for another project.
One of the focal bead that she sent is a "nest." I've always wanted to have one and finally, I got it! This necklace is called "Nestled" and is a combination of the red creek jasper, pink stones and beads and wire. The wire nest houses a stone and since it's Mother's Day, let me share my story. My 2 siblings and I live in different countries and my parents are on their own. The stone inside the nest signifies that no matter where we are, the 3 of us are safe and secure in our mom's heart.

One of the clasps she sent had crystals on it. Very nice! I like the combination of the pink beads against the stone.

Take a look at these cute silver spacer beads. Is it a bird, a whale or a fish? LOL. I wanted to do something fun and colorful with it and since I had light blue and purple hemp cord available, I made a macrame bracelet with a sliding knot closure. The ends were finished with a silver bead. Fun! Fun! Fun!
