My Bead Soup partner from last year was Nan Emmet of Spirited Earth. She makes wonderful ceramic pendants and beads (not to mention really, really cool spirit rattles).

This picture is the first necklace I made with her cute starfish pendant. meh. I was going for simple and just got blah. So, I turned to my favorite reason for working with metal - the hammer. :)
