Well I will have to say this has to be the hardest challenge I have ever had. It was totally out of my comfort zone. But, I guess that was what a challenge is all about. I LOVE color and the pallet was black, white with a touch of brown.
Before:
I added some dyed red coral to give it a pop of color, along with a copper ring that I enameled.
I hope you all enjoy and I cannot wait to see the rest of the soups! My bead soup partner Patti reveals her piece on June 23rd. Here is the complete list of reveals:.

I love the ring focal and you picked a great color to add. Love it!
Great color combo. This is a great everyday piece (at least for me since I wear black most days--LOL).
Bead Happy!
Michelle
very nice!its kind of funny when I first looked at the first pic, I thought the focal was a rabbits foot, I thought it was rather odd.....I do like the colors, and your addition of the red really set it off nicely
I have to add my admiration to the others in your creative talents! The colors are really smooth before it POPS like you wanted! This is a great piece of art and I would wear this proudly!
this is a lovely necklace..good work on the challenge
I love how you added colour to make it more to your style, it really completed it well. I wish I could wire wrap a focal like you did mine never comes out righth but yours looks gorgeous.
Keeping the clasp up front is a nice touch too.
That touch of red just pulls it all together!! Fabulous necklace.
I love the enameled ring and coral you added-this is a great color combination! Your design is great:)
I love what you did! Yes, working outside your comfort zone IS what this party was all about. If you saw my reveal, I had the same issue -- I'm a color freak, and I was working with darker colors, but am tickled with what I came up with.
I hope you ended up enjoying yourself, and do another party with me!
Great colors. Love the red coral especially!
Soooo pretty! Great with jeans or a dress!
This is a really neat necklace, I am a huge fan of Botswana and I would wear this with pride!
Love the color in this necklace. Great design!
I love what you did with your ingredients. The red focal is beautiful and ties it all together. Great job!
I finally got in! It looks great, I love how you added the enameled pieces, really makes it sing! worth waiting to see:)
Love the color you added to your soup! It really popped! Looks beautiful!
In Beads and Happiness,
Suzann Sladcik Wilson
I think that turned out fantastic!
The red surely makes it pop! Great job making it yours!
Wow....amazing colors and so many participants!
