6°BSBP – reveal day

Oggi è il gran giorno: vi svelerò cos’ho preparato per il 6° Bead Soup Blog Party! E’ la seconda volta che partecipo a questo evento internazionale. Stavolta siamo ben 400(!!) designer di gioielli: potete trovare l’elenco completo qui ( mentre qui trovate la mappa dei paesi coinvolti in questo grande scambio ). Sono molto felice di far parte di questo evento e colgo di nuovo l’occasione per ringraziare Lori Anderson di Pretty Things per il gran lavoro che svolge per organizzare tutto ciò!

Hi friends of BSBP: first of all sorry for my bad english, I hope you will understand what I’m saying Smile I’m Jò and I’m Italien, very nice to meet you! Today is the big day: I will show you my creations for the 6°BSBP. This is my second time participating in this worldwide event. 400 jewelry designers are participating this time and you can find all them here ( here it is the map of our living countries ). 
I am very happy to be part of this event and I want to thank Lori Anderson from Pretty Things for the huge work to organize this bead party!

La mia partner era Jackie, di Kydo Jewellery (potete scoprire qualcosa di lei, vedere cosa mi ha spedito, e cosa io ho spedito a lei qui). Della bellissima “zuppa di pietre” ricevuta ho amato subito tutto: colori e materiali molto nelle mie corde, non vedevo l’ora di mettermi al lavoro!

I was partnered with Jackie from Kydo Jewellery ( you can read something about her, and see what we sent each other here ). I loved at first sight the whole Bead Soup she sent to me: all colurs that I like, I couldn’t wait to work with them!

Come prima cosa ho affrontato il pendente di fimo fatto a mano da Jackie: sapevo sarebbe diventato il protagonista di una collana, e aggiungendo anche una delle sue chiusure e pietre dal mio assortimento è nata “Redwood Sorrel”, una collana romantica ed elegante. . .

First of all I faced the handmade polymer clay pendent: I knew it would become the protagonist of a necklace, so I added one of Jackie’s clasp and some beads from my stash and “Redwood Sorrel” necklace (a romantic and elegant necklace) came to life. . .

Poi ho preparato un braccialetto: ho creato una piastrina centrale in ottone ossidato e ci ho rivettato un cuore in rame martellato, ho aggiunto pietre dal mio assortimento e la bellissima chiusura in bronzo ricevuta. E’ stata l’occasione per provare due nuove tecniche: ossidazione dell’ottone con sale e ammoniaca e rivetto tra metalli. . . sono molto soddisfatta del risultato, adoro questo bracciale, che ho chiamato “Change of Heart” Smile

Next I made a bracelet: I created a focal using oxidated brass and I riveted on it a copper hammered heart, I added some bead from my stash and the beautiful received clasp. It was the occasion to try two new techniques: oxidize brass with salt and ammonia and metal riveting. . . I’m very proud of the result, I love my “Change of Heart” bracelet Smile

L’ispirazione era talmente tanta che ho creato anche un paio di orecchini: piastrine di ottone martellato con un motivo di stelline e le bellissime perle di vetro vintage di Jackie hanno dato vita agli orecchini “The Starry Night”. . .

The inspiration was huge, so I created a pair of earrings too: handmade stamped brass and beautiful vintage glass beads from the Soup became “ The Starry Night “ earrings. . .

Mi raccomando, andate a trovare Jackie per vedere cos’ha preparato con la mia “zuppa di pietre”, e poi andate a vedere anche le creazioni delle altre partecipanti a questa seconda tappa del BSBP ( trovate l’elenco qui, mentre qui trovate le partecipanti alla prima tappa – l’ultimo reveal day sarà invece il 25 agosto ): ci sono davvero dei bei blog da scoprire, creatrici di gioielli talentuose, nuove tecniche e idee. . . un mare di ispirazione! Un grandissimo grazie a Lori Anderson per aver organizzato di nuovo questo fantastico party perlinoso!

Be sure to check out what Jackie created with my soup, and check out all the participant for the 2°reveal ( here you can find also the participants for the first reveal – the 3° reveal will be on August 25) : you could discover great blogs, talented jewel designers, new techniques and ideas. . . very huge inspiration! A big Thank You to Lori Anderson for once again hosting such a great party!
