My first piece I wanted to focus on the iridescent colors of the feather. In the shade it looks dark, but get a bit of light on it, and you can see blues, greens and lots of shininess! I worked several different versions of kumihimo trying to incorporate some shiny threads. It worked, but now to decide, Kumihimo on the top, Kumihimo on the bottom? Clasp on the back, on the side? And this is what I came up with. and I really like how it turned out..
My second challenge was prying the moth wing pendant from my 7yo dd's hands!! I finally had to agree that it could be hers for special occassions. She already has worn it to school for her birthday! Here are pictures!
I also wanted to use some of the gemstones Maria sent to me. Since I was on a kumihimo kick, I paired the stones with celtic knots and a strand of kumihimo.
And last but not least, some earrings to go with the necklaces!
Thank you Maria and thank you to everyone for stopping by! Click HERE for the list of blogs!!

Don't you just love Maria's focals? I had her for a partner in the a couple years ago.
Just love the first necklace. It has such a glow about it.
I love the first piece! It's so beautiful and the clasp is great too. Happy Bead Soup Blog Party!
I love your pieces. I think my children would be drawn to these pendants too.
Happy Mother's Day! Great pieces! Love that you had to pry away the moth wings from your 7 year old!
Very nice! I love the darker necklace. Very dramatic looking.
That first necklace is incredibly elegant - I love the way the chain matches the shimmer of the feather. Great work!
Your creations really flow. The kumihimo picks up the movement/lines of the feather, etc. Beautiful work. Happy Mother's Day!
Marge,
I love what you did with the feather I just knew that you would add some sort of fiber to your pieces.
I am so glad that your little one was able to enjoy one of my pendants turned into something beautiful for her.
I want to thank you for being my partner it was a pleasure getting to know you.
Happy Mother's Day!!

I love those pendant your received and the creations you made with your soup.
Lovely work. Can't blame your daughter for striking a hard bargain over the pendant.
Such lovely work well done!
Beautiful work! I just took a class in kumihimo last summer and fell in love with it. There is something so soothing about making it -- and then the reward is lovely in jewelry! Too sweet that your daughter just had to have the moth wing. When a piece chooses it's owner, it's best to just go with it! :)
Oh my such beautiful work! The first one has depth and is strikingly dramatic, the second is earthy and free! I love them both.
Lovely first piece! The bracelet with kumihimo is my favourite though :-)
I love those Wing Focals!! They are amazing and you have created fantastic necklaces from them!!
The first necklace with the blue wing pendant is just stunning! Beautiful work!
Wonderful soup and love what you did with that first necklace!
Those necklaces are gorgeous!
Those necklaces are beautiful. I love your incorporation of the kumihimo. Aren't the possibilities endless? Making decisions on how to go is the hardest part. Sometimes there is only one way to go, but more often, the decisions.....Great job.
the focals you got are so unique! The first piece is especially pretty but i favourite is actually the bracelet.
Cool focals, love how you used them and love the kumihimo on the bracelet!
Gorgeous and unique designs, Marge! No wonder your little one had her eye on that necklace :)
so original focals!you added super beads and compilation is very succesfull, first necklace is my fav!!
What intrigueing pendants. Your necklaces matched them up nicely
The first necklace is so beautiful. Love the iridescent colours of the feather and the beads. The position of the clasp is really perfect.
That feather is my favorite! So nice of you to share with your child ;)
Gorgeous pieces! I can see why you had to promise your daughter the moth wing for special occasions...very pretty!
