The soup is done!!!!

This has probably been the most fun, and challenging Bead soup I have ever made.  What am I going to do with Deer antlers and shotgun casings?  After about five different starts,  googling deer antler jewelry :), and dreaming about designs, I had success.  I am very pleased with my design, and can't wait for May 3rd to serve up some soup.

It is great to see that even someone who has done a number for BSBP can be challenged. Your final design is great!

Love how you incorporated the antler bead.

Your necklace is making me look at natural objects in a different light. What could I do with an antler focal? I would be challenged by that, but you did a lovely job. Pretty piece.

Venison soup indeed! I got such a kick out of that! That was quite the challenge and our rose to it admirably Love the organic and natural look of that piece.

I love the antler beads. I love your soup. So unique! Your work have a tribal feel to it and certainly made the antler beads feel at home.

I would have had a hard time with the deer antler focal too. You found a way to make it beautiful. Great job Loretta. I do have an antler button.

The necklace definitely has an outdoors vibe, but those earrings are terrific.
