Serving up some tasty bead soup!

Today is the first revel date for Lori Andersons Bead Soup Blog Party Hop.......and I am in the first reveal!
 This is my first necklace I made, Stepha Stamper my swap partner gave me a beautiful stone fan as part of my soup, along with some lavender fiber optic beads, and some lavender crystal beads, I added some gold luster size 8 seed beads and a copper clasp. And made a choker length necklace.
 My second piece I used the brown foiled focal along with more of the gold luster seed beads, and fresh water pearlsand fall toned crystals. Also an  filigree bead that I flame enameled and an acorn prayer box and various crystals and leaf beads for dangles
  The last necklace I used the beautiful dragonfly focal, some lime green fiber optic beads, some grey ab beads and the beautiful crystal adorned clasp, all provided by Stepha.... I also added some tanzanite crystal drops and some crystal ab fire polish beads to make a beautiful fairy princess necklace!

    Norma, you were on a roll designing with all of the beautiful bead soups that you given. My favorite of the 3 is the first necklace with the stone fan. I've never worked with them before and I like what you did with them...including the length. I know it must look so beautiful when worn at a choker length.
