Today it's my turn to show my creation and boy let me tell you I really had a hard time to come up with something to do my beadsoup from Stefanie justice. I even had to ask my daughter for help because I simply couldn't make a final decision what to make. We decided to go for a bit of a Gypsy-look. I recently bought some lovely waxed linen in a dark brown color and used that to wrap around the sari-silk attaching the beads and clasp. It turned out to be something completely different from what I would normally make, but I really like the result and so does my daughter. I think there is a strong possibility I have to share this bracelet with my sweet daughter!
Vandaag is het mijn beurt om te laten zien wat ik met mijn beadsoup van Stefanie gemaakt heb. Dat was nog helemaal niet zo makkelijk sterker nog het koste me flink moeite om iets te bedenken dat de mooie materialen zou laten uitkomen. Uiteindelijk heb ik ook mijn dochters hulp ingeroepen om een keuze te maken. We besloten om het een beetje in de "zigeunerlook" te zoeken. Nu heb ik kortgeleden een heel mooie dunne gewaxt linnen in een donkerbruine tint gekocht, die heb ik gebruikt om de sari-silk te omwikkelen en gelijktijdig de kralen en sluiting vast te maken. Het resultaat is een armband die ik anders nooit gemaakt zou hebben en waarvan ik bijna zeker weet dat ik hem moet delen met dochterlief!

Oh Marieke,

And after all these weeks visiting your blog today I finally found the following-button - which is great - because from now on I have you in my reader and can catch up with your creations more easily.
Thxs for being my partner - it was a pure pleasure!

Hi Marieke, I am sure Stefanie will be super happy about what you made. It is really cool that the bead soup party makes all of us think out of the box. I love the colors and the way you have assembled the components to it. Maybe we should get together for a beady weekend, since we all don't live so far away from each other?
