I eventually settled on the one (okay, ones) to send to my partner Rita. But the third runner up, or the Miss Congeniality of the bunch, kept calling to me.
So I made something with it myself.

| The pendant is two ceramic beads, an agate donut, and some copper discs, all on waxed cotton |
I wore this soup out to lunch yesterday, which in a strange way seemed an appropriate place for it to make its debut. The soft greens felt especially spring-like to me, which was a welcome reminder that the weather will, eventually, warm up.

That's a great soup, too :-D
A beautiful piece! It's not often one gets to wear soup.:)
But really I like your idea of making my own bead soup. Maybe it will inspire me, something that has been lacking for a while now.
Oh so pretty, glad you created such a beauty for yourself!
Yes, this necklace is exactly what's needed to usher in Spring - love those citrusy, optimistic colors! And the waxed cotton in your focal is design-perfect!
How lovely! This necklace is simply wonderful! ...I, too, had leftover soups this year (I also made five), and have been playing around with the ones that I didn't send. What fun!
loving this soup mix ... the black actually makes everything else pop- great effect! so happy to see spring finally arrive ... break out the greens, and yellows and oh, maybe some orange!
