As you all know, I love Bead Soup. I had a small collection of pretty and unusual bead soup and snippets of brass chain similar to this from Ornamentea. Rather than use brass wire, I used some chocolate brown Parawire and copper jump rings to give a subtle color shift.
And here's what I came up with...
Why does this make me think of Happy Hippy Chick? I don't know, but I know I love the idea of it. This is a jeans and t-shirt, flowing skirt and blouse type of necklace, I feel. But you can wear it any way you want!
I really hope you've enjoyed this Cup of Bead Soup -- we're ending it early due to the holidays. January there won't be a Cup of Bead Soup because we're having the
BEST JEWELRY CHALLENGE EVER!

Love your final Cup of Soup piece..you sure make LeAnn's pendant shine with the pretty colors. I'd wear this one ALL the time. :-)
Love your Hippy Chick free flowing flowers bead soup necklace. Happy Holidays to you and enjoy the magic...
So pretty, Lori! It does have a great, fresh summery feel to it.
I've been lurking the bead soup blog parties. I'm considering joining in this time. Is it open to everyone?
Whimsical, light and feminine. Totally gorgeous!
Yea for bead soup! What I love best about this is that you never know what you are going to get. That is part of the fun. It really stretches me creatively when I have to allow myself to be open to the possibility! Plus I have made some wicked cool friends through the Bead Soup Blog Hop. I hope that there will be many more new friends to join in the fun!
Thanks for all of this great inspiration this year Lori.
You are my 'something good' today!
