My bead soup partner is Tania Hagan from Pelima Designs. She sent me an absolute divine focal and some gorgeous seed beads. I have been wanting to try a new design on the loom for ages so this was an opportunity to show case this gorgeous lampwork focal.
Thank you Loir and Tania ~ this has been so much fun!

ReplyDeleteThat bead is beautiful. I really like your bead weaving and the clasp is a focal point all of its own. Great job and hope to see more of your work.
ReplyDeleteA really cool idea! Shows the focal well without looking like just a bead on a string.
ReplyDeleteLove it! ...great use for your focal...
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed by intricate seed bead work. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWell done, great piece for your first soup experience.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that you could do loom work like that where it is all one and then splits into several strands. The clasp is so pretty with the focal as well
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely incredible creation!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this bracelet!
ReplyDeleteVery nice well done!

You've made a beautiful bracelet. The idea of making a band with separate threads in the loom is interesting and new to me. Great work. (Please remove the Captcha functionality just for a few days)
ReplyDeleteSuper use of the focal, very very nice.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful bracelet both in its design and execution. What a shame you weren't able to use the clasp you received, but the one you used does work well with your design.
ReplyDeleteFantastic bracelet! It's a great style that keeps the focus on that amazing lampwork bead.
ReplyDeleteUnique and colorful design. Nice job!
ReplyDeletevery nice pattern in this one! and how DO you get the crimp to stay on the beads without breaking them?! I always seem to snap them in the process!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! perfect summer colours
ReplyDeleteVery pretty bracelet, and nice way to feature the focal. I haven't seen much use of lampwork focals in a loomed piece, so this was very creative.
