Bead Soup Party

As you will have read in a recent post I am taking part in the Bead Soup Party organised by Lori of Pretty Things.

Well on Friday my "bead soup" arrived from Dale and here is what I received.

An assortment of glass, wood and plastic beads, seed beads, metal components, buttons, some funky wire clasps and even a shell.




Mine are somewhere between Australia and South Korea so hopefully Dale will receive them soon. Hopefully he can take a picture of what I sent him as I completely forgot to take one before wrapping them up and sealing the envelope...DOH!

Now to get started on designing a piece.

A fresh batch of hearty bead soup

The past few days I have been drooling over one of my new books, "Beaded Colorways" by the very talented Beverly Ash Gilbert.

Today I made my first batch of bead soup. I overcame my OCD fear of mixing my precious seed beads together in a nice big shiny silver bowl... and look how I was rewarded! A yummy bowl of soup.

Check out the results...mmm don't you just l♥ve colour!

Watch this space to see what I create from my soup!
