More Soup!

Since I didn't have time to finish everything before the reveal date for Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party, I'm adding to the post below...if you scroll down you'll see the finished designs for the party. I made a bracelet using the round sterling beads in the soup. I had originally made the lampwork glass disks to incorporate into the necklace but it just didn't work out like I wanted, so this bracelet was the result...(sold already too!)

The second necklace needed a pair of earrings and the copper triangles were perfect!

Meanwhile, I have some more hopping to do!

Bead Soup!

The final list for the 8th annual Bead Soup Blog Party have been announced! My partner is Melissa Muir, a very talented metal smith. Here is her website http://www.melissamuir.com/ I look forward to working with her and can't wait to see everyone's designs! A big thank you to Lori Anderson and her family for putting this together through a lot of personal struggles. Have some pie Lori!

8th Annual Bead Soup Blog Party

It's that time again...Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Hop Party! I can't wait to find out who my partner is this year. This will be my third party. I'd like to thank Lori for all she does for the beading community...especially since she has struggled with so many health issues.

Bead Soup Blog Party

It's time for Lori Anderson's annual Bead Soup Blog Party 7! I have a great and talented partner, Rain Hannah of Honey and Ollie. Here's a link to great Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/honeyandollie?ref=search_shop_redirect I recieved my bead soup and it has so much inspiration! I'm thinking at least 2 designs from all that. Our reveal date is March 30, 2013. So with 500 participants this year, Lori divided it into 3 reveal dates. Lots of blogging going on!
