If I would have thought ahead, I would have taken a picture of all my ingredients together before I began creating. I remembered that I hadn't done it halfway through my piece. Oops.
I decided that since the color palette was already challenging for me, I would add another twist. (Maybe not the best idea in hindsight.) I really admire all the pieces that I see that are asymmetrical, so I thought I should try my hand at it. Here goes nothing . . .
I was really torn for awhile about making two separated pieces with the focals, but I thought they looked good together. The only things I added to Beti's soup are the Matsuno seed beads and the two metal beads in the bead caps on the pendant.
Well, what do you think? I'm not quite sure I pulled off the asymmetrical look, but I'm proud of my first effort to try something outside of the box for me.
Please go check out what Beti did with the soup I sent her!

You beautifully combined the rich colors of the soup you received, Jenny. Off to see what Beti did with the soup you sent.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing! I love the asymmetrical design. I am still trying to figure out how you attached the key at the tip! This is why we do Bead Soup. To learn and grow when we see what others do with something we started. Thanks for being my partner!
