The Ocean Blog Hop, A Bead Soup!

So I signed up for ANOTHER blog hop... can you tell I'm having just a little bit of fun? Here is the bead soup I was given by Pine Ridge Treasures, (AKA Lisa Lodge), to make something from (just to whet your appetite!):

Frosted white & orange sea glass...

Orange, yellow & white beads... a truly interesting mix... I wonder what I'll do with it!

An overview... it's a really nice pile of beads!

It's The Ocean Blog Hop...

I'm in the June 14th reveal! :)

Come back on June 14th to see what I've made! I'll try to take some teaser photos of the progress I make as I go along, but nothing concrete until the reveal date!

Sea Glass Explosion!

So, I am once again participating in a lovely blog hop- this time sponsored by Bill of ZnetShows! He has some lovely, and I mean LOVELY, beachy manufactured sea glass.

This is what I received:

 

This was my first project using his sea glass- a lovely copper, blue shards and Swarovski crystal bracelet!

You can find these by clicking here!

This is my second project, which I have to admit isn't TOO BAD for my very first attempt at making a wire-worked cuff:

Beach glass made by ZnetShows!

This was my next project, some dainty and cute feather earrings on some very soft green sea glass:

Tibetan silver feathers, silver-plated wire, and sterling silver earrings hooks with the soft green beach glass!

Did I mention that Bill sent me a TON of sea glass?! These were my next project- I mean, who can resist some swanky cats and fish bones?

Again, Tibetan silver kitty cats, pewter fish bones, white/translucent sea glass from ZnetShows, silver-plated wire, and sterling silver earrings wires!

This is, BY FAR, my favorite out of everything I made so far. Czech? glass ovals and stars, blended with Swarovski crystals, Sea Glass from ZnetShows, some blue chalcedony on copper!

Necklace and earring set!

Overall, I am absolutely THRILLED with the Beach Glass Beads from ZnetShows- very, very impressed. By the way, they also do wholesale!

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!
