On the reveal date, this year it was postponed till the10th, everyone reveals on their Blogs what they received and what they made with their Soup. There are hundreds of people taking part and it is very inspirational to see what everyone made with their Soups.
I love the Soup Brendalee sent me as these are some of my favourite colours and the stampings are things I am working with at the moment.
I am a Textile designer and I always incorporate (Vintage) fabric so
I added some of these fabulous pieces.
These are embroideries made by the Hmong people of Northern Vietnam,
with the tiniest stitches I have ever seen.
 | ||
| The pendant is a pocket so I cut the black piece of paper (that states the provenance) to size and have put it in so that the wearer knows it is an antique piece of fabric made by the Hmong people of N W Vietnam. I have also hung old vietnamese coins and bells from the pendant. It makes a delightful sound when you wear it. |
With the beads that were left over I made some individual Bohemian earrings. You can choose which ones to wear and if you lost one earring it would not matter as you can use another one!
I love how they turned out.
 | |||||||||||||||||
| The memory wire bracelet is already a favourite. I incorporated a few handmade beads made from vintage French silk. |
Brendalee also included a doily that her Grandmother had made years ago and I wanted to do the craftmanship justice. I stiffened the lace and made them into earrings. And a little bit also went to make a bead for the bracelet.
I had a lot of fun making lots of things with my Bead Soup and I love how these pieces turned out!
Thank you Brendalee for an awesome Soup and Lori for the opportunity to take part.
Good health and happiness to you and your family.
Brendalee makes fabulous jewellery and you can find her at
and her blog http://silverbee.typepad.com/

Thank you for stopping by.
So beautiful, Marjolein! I like the way you use and honor those old Hmong textiles. They give depth to your jewellery. The colours are beautiful (as allways in your work), feminine but sophisticated. The first necklace is my eye candy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susanna for your lovely comment! It is truly special coming from you whose work I so admire!
DeleteBeautiful! Just beautiful, what else can I say!
ReplyDeleteMarjolein ( I went to school with a girl with that name- good memories) your pieces are works of art. What you have done with the Hmong fabric not only honors their culture in a spectacular way, but gives new life and beauty to them. Honestly, I'd expect to see these in a museum somewhere. They are truly beautiful. Christie
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful creativity and imagination!! You did a wonderful job on your soup, and the addition of the Hmong fabric really showcases your designs!
ReplyDeleteWow! That first necklace is an absolute poem; I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of work you've done! You not only a designer of jewellery but an author of it as well. All the pieces are beautiful and each have a story to tell. Thank you for making the earrings with the doily...I was quite touched. Thank you for your bead soup...you were a great partner!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't know what is happening with my sign-in but it keeps defaulting to a blog that is many many years out of date.
Thank you so much everyone. I am truly humbled and touched by all your wonderful comments!
ReplyDeleteWow I have no words sufficient to describe your work. Each piece is a work of art and has so much meaning to it. They feed the soul.
ReplyDeleteLoving how you put those elements together. I think the first necklace is my favorite -- it hangs beautifully.
ReplyDeleteOh my these pieces are the most original I have seen so far! That necklace is simply stunning! It is not easy to use embroidery, so bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of non matching earrings! Great soup ideas!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Every. Single. One! Love them!
ReplyDeleteThose Hmong pieces are amazing! And I love the Bohemian earring idea!
ReplyDeleteI have no words to say how beautiful and rich your jewelry is. Your use of materials, colors and design is just amazing. Every piece is a work of art!
ReplyDeletewhat an incredible talent you are! I am speechless, Marjolein! I joined your followers! thanks for the beauty! jean
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean for your wondeful comment. I hope I can do it justice!
DeleteAll of your creations are beautiful, but that first necklace is just WOW!
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely love the idea of the Bohemian earrings! So cool☺
Thank you Thank you all for your wonderful comments everyone. I give you all a big hug!!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with your handling of the piece from Vietnam... they are all such statement pieces and you should be proud of your work!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the amazing embroidered pieces. And those Bohemian earrings are divine, I love the idea of mixing them up or just wearing one. I would be swapping and changing them all day! Clare x
ReplyDeleteYour creations are stunning! Loving the individual Bohemian earrings - what a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just wow! The bohemian earrings are amazingly pretty and I love the colours of the memory wire bracelet too. I think you did wonderfully in mixing textiles and jewellery beads together. And you managed to make so many items too! I'm in awe of your talent.
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting pieces - those embroideries are wonderful with the beads. Your Bohemian earrings are such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I like the earrings the best! All beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pieces love the wrap styled bracelet and the bohemian earrings

What wonderful creations and embellishments! I especially like the lace treatment from your grandmother's doily (how perfect to reveal near MOther's Day!) and the bohemian earrings. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI love how you combine the antique fabric piece with beads and findings to make beautiful wearable art. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are stunning! I am also a textile artist and I adore old pieces with exquisite detail!! So brilliant to combine these glorious stitched pieces with the beads!! absolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, I especially like the wire wrap bracelet.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I LOVE how you made these your own by adding the textiles. You certainly have an eye for design. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely work well done!

ReplyDeleteI love all your pieces, but necklaces are awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

Love that you used fabric in your designs. I feel like I want to reach into the photos and touch your pieces! Kudos on a soup well served! - Suzann Sladcik Wilson
ReplyDeleteAll your pieces are beautiful...I love them all. I love how the pastel colors are combined and also I like the design....the necklaces are very pretty..
ReplyDeleteI love your style! The earrings are adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pieces. I absolutely love what you have created with the textiles. Very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteok....wow! I love the earring idea with wearing non matching/matching earrings. I have made some before the did not match but went together. I like you earrings much better though, so feminine! I think my favorite is the memory wire bracelet too...and the colors of those necklaces, love them too!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I don't even know where to start, everything is so beautiful! I love that you represented the Hmong people and commemorated the piece with their provenance. My favorite necklace is the 3rd one though! The idea behind the bohemian earrings is wonderful. Just do a bunch of coordinating earring and they can pick and choose! And your memory bracelet out shines mine by a mile! Loved looking at your pieces!
ReplyDeleteAll your soup pieces shine! I can't believe how much I'm learning by visiting all these sites. Like Deborah said the Bohemian earrings are such a great idea whether I'm making them for myself, gifts or to sell, it's great to not have to worry about loosing one! Great job in simmering your soup!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I love them all :)
ReplyDeletewonderful mix of soup ingredients and jewelry pieces. Love the tiny Hmong pieces the best.
ReplyDeleteMarjolein - these pieces are inspired. Normally I find one item which draws me the most but I have to say I really love them all. Probably because they are my colours, but also because they are lovely designs. I do like the idea of Bohemian earrings which you can mix and match. What a great idea. Rose
ReplyDeletewow - such great great pieces. the bohemian earrings are a spectacular idea.....I have earrings floating that have lost their partner and no clue what to do with them! I think my favorite is the bracelet - all chunky but not over the top, very well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the bohemian earrings and memory wire bracelet! Also neat idea incorporating the Hmong needle work.
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely some of my favorite pieces so far; I love them all. The Boho earrings are a GREAT idea!...and I love that pocket necklace, and the first compass star one. Wonderful, wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteYour inclusion of the fabulous Hmong textile work was inspired. Such gorgeous pieces!
ReplyDeleteOh, so many so wonderful earrings. Love them. Your textile work is great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous designs. If I had to choose a favorite it would be the first necklace. Yet, everything is so fabulous it really is difficult. Luckily, I can adore them all.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pieces, but that bracelet really speaks to me! I love the combination of colors and textures! And those earrings are so fun :-)
ReplyDeleteThe silk beads you made were quite wonderful. I am really impressed with the many ways you worked fabric into your designs. The beads you got went really well with the fabric you chose
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely - every design is a treasure! I love the way you combine color and texture. And I love the idea of the Bohemian earrings - awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely soup - and what utterly lovely things you did with that soup! I adore the fact that you incorporated Hmong textiles into your work - truly mixed media pieces you created. All of the necklaces are simply stunning, and the memory wire bracelet is just YUM, but ohmygosh, those Bohemian earrings!!! I saw those and just smiled. Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteYour design so unique and chic =) love them much...
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful pieces! Love how you made it your own with the addition of the textiles!
ReplyDeleteI love, I adore, ALL your earrings!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! I love the colors of your soup the way that you combined them into little superstars that they are! My fav is the bracelet - oh.my.goodness.!

I really enjoyed all your designs. The "pocket" necklace is magnificent. I like to make single earrings as well.
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are stunning, all of them! You have an unique style, I love the fabric beads and components incorporated in your designs,, it gives them a very stylish bohemian flavor, which I love! You are a free spirit and your fabulous "one of a kind" earrings states that perfectly! I am happy I have admired such beautiful designs!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marjolein! This is so original and beautiful :) I would love to be able to incorporate fabric treasures as you do (you are my hero!)
ReplyDeleteAmazing designs! So very unique. A romantic collection of pieces of history remade into gorgeous new things. I think my favorite is the pocket pendant, but I loved all of it. And what a great idea for a set of earrings! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces - They are “gorgeous!” Very soft, feminine and romantic!
ReplyDeleteI love your eclectic style, and I really love the memory wire bracelet. It's a treasure trove of individually cool beads all mixed together to make a gorgeous cohesive whole. So nicely done all together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. A total delight to scroll through it all. Bohemian rocks.
ReplyDeleteAll of your pieces are so special (with or without the amazing textiles). I really like how they are both romantic and tribal at the same time. And your idea to make the mix and match earrings is very cool.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed your soup!!! It is so inspiring! You are quite talented! Love how you've incorporated fabric into your designs. Haven't worked with memory wire, but I think I will now! You have a keen eye for color too! How fun are those bohemian earrings! Nicely done!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous creations! The stitched elements from Vietnam make them so eclectic! I especially love the mixed media bracelet and the beautiful collection of mismatched earrings!
ReplyDeleteWow! That first necklace is a real show stopper! Your pieces all have such a nice vintage feel to them. Such pretty colors combined. I have always admired Hmong embroidery. It was so much fun to see it featured in your jewelry designs. Well done!
