FIRST I got to say a HUGE thank you to Lori Anderson and her helpers for organizing this. It must have been a task to handle all this. The SECOND thank you goes to my talented partner Eszter for the wonderful bead soup she sent and for her patience, as my first package got lost and she had to wait for the second one toaarive. Guess she's happy about the postponement, too.
So what did I get from Eszter? She sent an incredible bead soup with some beads that immediately caught my eye. For example the orange Buddha head or the pink stone beads. Aren't they great? And look at the beautiful colors of the soutache ribbon! Ah, so many Options!
And what did I make with my bead soup?
The first thought was doing a piece with soutache and I chose to take the Buddha head as the focal, because the ribbons match it perfectly. Not sure what this piece will become, but I can imagine this as a centerpiece for a colorful painting, a wall decoration or a pendant. I love how it turned out and I bow to all soutache artists who mastered this art form!
The second piece is a little flower pick I made with the flat pink stone bead. I found the perfect seedbeads and cutbeads in my stash and here it is. Lovely!
To visit my partner Eszter and what she made with the bead soup I sent to her (see below), click on the photo.
A list of participants can be found on the official Bead Soup Blog Party Page! I can't share the list here as there are over 500 (!) participants. Otherwise this would have been a loooooooooooong post. :)

Now this is something different! I like your style very much. These pieces could make beautiful brooches just the way they are.
AntwortenLöschenYou did a great job with this soup! The colors are so vibrant and very nicely placed!
AntwortenLöschenYour creativity never ceases to amaze me even if I have been following your blog for some time. Both are exquisite pieces. I love what you've made with the buddha and I would use it as a pendant on its own. Exceptional work.

AntwortenLöschensoutache pendant looks perfectly- perhaps focal in necklace?
AntwortenLöschenOh, soutache - I love how it turned out! So cheerful and charming :) As is the pink flower - you have a happy soup :)
AntwortenLöscheni have no idea what is soutache so i'm gonna google it right after this. but i love how the buddha pendant turned out. it's downright enlightening!
AntwortenLöschenSoutache is done with special ribbon by stitching it together, with or without beads. Like I've done it around the Buddha head.
LöschenDas sieht einfach schoen aus, was Du aus der "Suppe" gemacht hast!
AntwortenLöschenThis is the first soutache I've seen on the party. It's absolutely wonderful and would make a wonderful pendant. I love it!
AntwortenLöschenYou are very clever, how you used the Buddha head was genius and it can be used as a pendant for a necklace or a brooch. I love the colors you used for the cheerful little flower pick.
AntwortenLöschenHi Dagi! I love your soutache buddha!
AntwortenLöschenThe soutache Buddha is gorgeous! It will look lovely as a pendant.

I would have been so thrown by the Buddha, but you made such a nice piece with it. Really cool! The little flower is great too. You have a great eye for color!
AntwortenLöschenNice work. I love how you accented the Buddha head with the dark blue ribbon. And the green on the flower is very popping.
AntwortenLöschenYou created 2 lovely pieces, the colors you choose are great and happy! The designs are a bit 'Oriental' I ♥ love it!
AntwortenLöschenI am in love with your Soutache Buddah, I never saw anything like it! Gorgeous pieces!
AntwortenLöschenGorgeous Soutache piece with the vibrant colors of the East! This could make a stunning pendant! The soft and tender colors of the second piece are very girly, the green color is the perfect choice!
