The Bead Soup Party Hosted by Lori Anderson, stop by her blog for all the details.
My bead soup mix from Jeannie,awesome pendant ( Thai silver is my favorite) and cute silver owl clasp with swarovski crystals and Czech glass.
I used Labradorite nuggets, Czech glass and two leaves from Every Heart Crafts with a mix of metals.
The Thai silver pendant is on a small strand of leather strung with oxidized Thai silver. Two forged copper stripes, copper beads, Thai silver beads and sterling silver chain in the body of the necklace with the beads.
I didn’t use any of the Czech glass or the crystals, I just kept going back to a more natural or organic look.

The bracelet is more like me. I have been trying to makeup some things I feel like I need to use. I am happy with the way they look but sometimes when I get done I think it looks like someone else made it.
Using leather and Hilltribe silver is really where I feel at home. Four or five years ago I started using leather and fell in love with the look and feel. I don’t usually think I need to use the Thai silver I have collected (like other beads and pendants) in fact I hoard it, I don’t know why.
