by Suzann Sladcik Wilson
It’s time to serve up another batch of Bead Soup! I have been fortunate enough to have participated in 4 of the 6 Bead Soup Blog Hops. Every time I have enjoyed the challenge to stretch my creative limits. The Blog Hop has also afforded me the ability to interact with amazing designers for the first time. This time I was pared with Tabatha Dinger of Modernly Created. She is a real sweetheart and I am glad that Lori gave me a chance to get to know her.
Bead Soup Package From Tabatha
When my package arrived, it was so beautifully wrapped! I almost hated to open it…but my desire to see what loveliness was on the inside had me quickly tugging at the ribbon as soon as this picture was taken.
Bead Soup Mix
Look at all the gorgeous ingredients Tabatha sent me! The ribbon from the package was so elegant, I knew I wanted to somehow use it in the final product. Here is what I came up with.
“Growth” Necklace by Suzann Sladcik Wilson
Here is the finished piece! What I love about it is all the different textures in it. The soft ribbon, the hard metal pieces, the smooth natural stones, and glittery crystals are all contrasting, but yet come together to create a spectacular piece. The piece is entitled “Growth” for several reasons. First, the center piece reminded me of the leaves of a flower starting to come out of the ground. Second, every time I participate in a Bead Soup Blog Hop, I feel myself growing in creativity. Third, the past few months have been a massive time of growth for me. Emotionally, spiritually, and artistically, there have been many, many changes. Each change, smooth or rough, has caused me to grow and discover wonderful new aspects of life.
I hope you have enjoyed my Bead Soup creation! Make sure you visit all of the blogs listed below!

Very nice use of bead soup ingredients!
Thank you, Barb! Look forward to seeing your creation!
A very unique focal, such a lovely necklace!
Thank you, Margareta! (BTW, my grandmother’s name was Margareta) The focal was different than anything I had used before, but I really loved it. The finished piece shows it off in such a unique way.
What a beautiful necklace! You have some unique pieces in it, I’d love to see it on a plain background, so I can drool more. 🙂 Great job!!
Hi Shirley! Thank you for the complement! It was getting late, so I went with the picture I had. Hopefully I can re-shoot it today!
Great job Susan, it’s a beautiful piece!
Thank you, JV! The piece is so different from what I would usually do, but that is why I love the challenge of a blog hop!
Beautiful piece. I like that you included the ribbon.
Thank you, Loretta! The ribbon was such a pretty touch to the package, I wanted to include it!
Very lovely job with your soup. I like the mix of materials that you managed to incorporate.
Thank you so much, Shiraz! The materials were a lot of fun to play with. Looking forward to seeing your creation!
Beeeaaauuuutifullll! So light and feminine.
Very well done
Thank you, Kathrin! It was a fun challenge to make the metal more feminine.
Your necklace is so pretty, love the use of the package ribbon; but most of all , I love the story behind the name you gave your necklace!
Thank you, Lisa! It means a lot that you enjoyed the story.
How cool you used your ribbon (I used part of my packaging, too!) and the necklace is beautiful. Thank you so much for playing, and I was glad to get to meet you in person this year, too!
It is a lovely, creative piece! Very nice!
Thank you! Blog hops are great for their ability to stretch your creativity. Looking forward to seeing your piece!
