I knew where I was going almost immediately! As soon as I saw the vintage reclaimed copper focal she sent, my muse was dancing along!
This is the original set up I did as I examined my soup.
I knew I wanted to stamp along the curve of the copper focal, the hardest part was deciding on a word or words. I chose what I did because it represents exactly what it says. BEAUTY. The beauty of the beads and focals that made up my soup and the beauty of the sweet soul that sent it to me. It will help me remember the joy of this bead soup party long after all the blogs have been visited.
As it arrived is seen on the left and as it is in my necklace is on the right. I tried to get it to look like it had been stamped the day it was created, my success was... ehhh. I still am very happy with it :~)
Everyone will have many blogs to visit, I am going to keep this short. I wanted to include just 2 thoughts, really. Gratitude and Beauty. My gratitude to my partner for her selfless gift of beauty and to Lori for all her hard work and for you, who have stopped by my humble blog.
THANK YOU
And here is the beauty
