BEAD SOUP BEAD PARTY... SEVEN!!!!

Can you believe it?  It's party time again... Bead Soup Bead Party 7... SEVEN!  That is a lot of beads and a lot of happy.  With a huge thank you to the founder and host, Lori McDaniel Anderson.

'Sparklefly' by Diana Mains Welte 2013

My creation features beads from Sandra Richardson of Texas.  Pulling out the red and blue of the beads, I was able to come up with a fun but very wearable piece that would look great with a summer white dress or those comfortable jeans and breezy top.  With the gold accents behind the focal... well, that sparkle makes it great for July 4th celebrations, too!

Now run on over to Sandy's blog to see what she did with my handmade ceramic beads.  Also you can link up to the party and browse all the other eye candy made for this event.  Don't forget to mark your calendars for April 6 and April 13 for the second and third reveals of this 3 part extravaganza!

      Shari, I took your soldering class several years ago at Union Bead Boutique. Because of that class, I got addicted to wire... then clay. Thank you so much. I love seeing all your work. ~diana

    ~*Diana, you made great use of what you were sent! I LOVE the clasp design and placement and I am also admiring the way you sectioned off the beads with the three bead, dangles. I'd wear those as earrings!
