If you remember, this was my soup and what I created. I've already sold the bracelet, so I'm going to be giving away the pendant. It's an amazing handmade lampwork glass bead with tons of Swarovski crystals dangling beneath and a sterling silver bail at the top, and it'll accommodate nearly any chain. Wouldn't it be great for fall (I'm really, REALLY looking forward to fall right now!)
Normally something like this would sell for $65 but you could win it for free!!!Just leave a comment, and if you have a blog, post about it on your blog as well. You don't HAVE to be a follower, but wouldn't that be cool?
Good luck, and have an awesome, beadful day!

Please put me in your hat. January sounds perfect for the next party and I will definitely attend again- it was so inspiring and fun. You certainly boosted the number of followers on my blog with this event and I have met so many wonderful jewelers too because of it. Thanks again and again and one more time!!! Glad you are over your migraine. They are a bummer!!
Beautiful Pendant Lori! I had a blast seeing everybody's creations for Bead Soup. It's so much fun to see how the various partners used either others inspirational pieces and made some awesome designs!

If not- I'll definitely be looking at all the beautiful work. Please do enter me into your give- away- I have my fingers crossed.
Gorgeous pendant Lori. I had so much fun taking part in the Bead Soup Party... I was just so annoyed I had internet issues from Friday to Monday evening so it meant I had to post my piccies 3 days late...oh well.
Thanks for offering such a gorgeous piece as a giveaway.

Lori,
Thank you so much for hosting this fun party! I have had a great time and am looking forward to January and participating again. Please add my name to your drawing for your beautiful pendant.

That is truly an amazing pendant. Sure hope I win! O what a treasure I could design.

Thanks Lori. Just loving all the fun give aways.
YES of course I want this!!! Thanks so much for delighting us with your BeadSoup party, gonna have to join in the next one(I hope...)Thanks again! oh and I am a follower of all your blogs
Your color choice of small crystals for the pendant is so different than what I would have chosen. That's the beauty and individuality of what we each see. The bead soup showed such diversity.
I truly want this pendant! I'll give it a happy home. Thanks for offering it.
Mary
