And here's my pieces. I absolutely loved the ceramice dragonfly focal she sent me. But I had the hardest time coming up with something that I thought would do it justice and let it shine. I finally hit inspiration in a book my friend Karla Morgan from Texas Pepper Jams lent me about multi-strand necklaces. (You have to check out their pepper jams. They're to die for! And she's also participating in this 3rd reveal for the BSBP, so see what she made with her soup.) So here is my Floating Free necklace with the dragonfly focal. This was my first time trying to texture, patina and create my own bale from copper strip wire and then rivet it to the focal. I was terrified I'd break the focal while trying to rivet. But I think it turned out great. I used the ribbon Ann sent me, the focal, and a few of the green discs she sent. And here's a pair of earrings made with some more of the green discs and the big hole beads used in the necklace.
Next up, is my Sweetheart necklace made with the pink and white freshwater pearls Ann sent me and the wonderful blingy clasp she sent. I thought it went very well and matched wonderfully with the shell focal I had and the Pink Rhodondite puff beads as well as some pewter beads I had in my stash.
So there you have it. My 3 pieces for the BSBP reveal. I'm still working on some earrings to match the second necklace and an idea for the wire knitz Ann sent me, plus the cute little pewter flower beads. I've never worked with wire knitz before, so I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting my idea to work. Be sure to check out all the participants for the third reveal here on Lori's blog, Pretty Things. She also has links to the first 2 reveals if you haven't had a chance to check them out yet. These pieces will probably be available in my shop, KayzKreationz shortly.

Beautiful work! You had a lovely mix to work with.
Hi Kay, great job with the soup I sent! I love the bail that you made for the focal:) The pink and white color palette in the second necklace is very pretty and girly, which is always a plus. Congratulations!
Love your necklaces. Great use of fabric in the first one and the focal in the second is perfect!

Really nice work Kay! Love what you made with the delicious soup Ann sent you. The necklaces turned out really beautiful!
I love both designs. They're different styles so I can't chose one favourite. The first is beautiful and modern (your bail is awesome), the second is elegant and classy. Have a nice weekend, Ana
Great designs!
My fave is the second necklace. I love the style and colour. Great job!
I love the first necklace!

I absolutely love how you used your Soup. Both necklaces are feminine, light and flowing. You have a great sense of design.
Hi Kay,
All of your pieces are gorgeous! My favorite is the first necklace with the silk ribons.

Lovely pieces Kay, really pretty colours.
Love all the pieces but really adore the silk with ceramic focal, it looks so delicate.
Great job - my fav is the one with the silk, so romantic!
I love the use of those amazing ribbons in the first necklace, which is awesome! Amazing work all pieces!
Great job! My fave is the sweetheart necklace, it has a nice combination of soft and hard.
Beautiful designs. Love the clasp and how you hung the focal.
Beautiful necklaces, love the designs.
Beautiful pieces! How brave you are to rivet the bail!
Kay, Your pieces are terrific! The pictures show them off very well! I'm going to have to try the silk in a necklace. Really like the look!
Lovely necklaces!! Great job on the dragonfly focal - love the colors you used with it!
Kay you did a great job using your soup. Kudos for making and adorning your first bail. I like the Sweetheart Necklace
Very pretty! Love the bail. Nice job with your soup!
You had a beautiful soup to work with. Love the first necklace!
Gorgeous use of your soup. Absolutely love that first necklace.
great soup mix..! the ceramic focal is precious and the 2nd necklace looks amazing.
That dragonfly necklace is really awesome. Seriously, I'm in awe of the way you were able to combine the fibers for the multi-strand necklace as well as that super cool bail you created. How DID you manage to rivet that without breaking it? I'm too scared for sure!
