Teaser Photo from the BSBP7!

Here's a teaser photo of the necklace and earring set I made from the components that Andrea T sent me:

I used http://pixlr.com to strange-ify my picture.

I can't wait until my reveal date on April 6th! Hope everyone is having as much fun as me!!! :)

BSBP #7 - What I GOT from Andrea T!

Here's all the awesomeness that I got from Andrea T:

Those are some COOL BEADS BATPEEPS! (And yes, CAPS was needed! LOL!)

The toggle is to die for, it's very unique, and the focal. OMG. Very cool. It's from Antelope Beads.

And those gold beads in the middle? VINTAGE!

Yes, I lucked out BIG TIME. :)

Here's a pretty mix! Andrea T also sent me sea glass! Do you guys have any idea how much I LOVE sea glass?! I've never gotten to play with it before....... .. .... .

There's also some stunning big amethyst chip beads, some crystals & Czech glass, chain, "FUN STUFF" (*giggle*), and a bag of mixed gemstones. *drools*

And here's a close-up of the focal. :) Pretty rad, right? The sea glass is right behind it. Yes, I'm going to do my level best to include the sea glass! Hehehehehehe!

Here's a link to Andrea's blog so you can check out her progress with the goodies I sent her. :)

Thanks, Andrea!

What I Gave My Partner (Andrea T) for Bead Soup Blog Party (BSBP7)

A lovely mishmash of mostly greens and a little bit of brown and some pink. I also gave her all black findings, (toggle clasps, earwires, and other findings). The idea was to use the fancy jasper as the main focus of the design, so all the colors blend well together. :) But that's just MY idea. I can't wait to see what Andrea does!

The focals on the left are made by me, ZenithJade Creations! You can find more focals like them in my Etsy shop, here: http://ZenithJade.etsy.com/ ! I also included a brown and green jasper? focal that's on the bottom right in case the others wouldn't fit her color scheme. (They're a mix of brown, copper, pink and translucent!)

As you can probably tell from the photo, I included a diverse variety of goodies to choose from! In the middle top is a strand of irregular freshwater pearls...

Here's the heart focal I made for Andrea. Isn't it cool? I embedded three Swarovski crystals into the heart. It also has a place to hang dangles from! :)

Here's an up-close view of some Czech? glass beads that are black & green, some fancy jasper and green aventurine. YUM!

Andrea T just received my beads YESTERDAY, so I can post about what I gave her safely now. :) I'm sorry if these pictures are a little washed out- I edited them in photoshop so they wouldn't be so bad! *laughs* You can keep up with Andrea's blog here to see what she does with all the goodies! YAY!
