Wasn't it Lovely!

Here's to you LORI!!!!

A big thanks to Lori Anderson for organizing the Bead Soup exchange and party that culminated yesterday in all our 'big reveals'. It was great fun to see all the wonderful designs and be part of the creativity generated by the exchanges we all took part in. There were some truly droolworthy beauties and it was a pleasure to be one of a very friendly and talented group of designers and artists....now if you haven't checked out the other participants yet, do have a look around--it's a major feast for the eyes! All the links are in my post below so drool away!

Let's Party


TahDahhhh! I made a bracelet with my focal bead(s)--a generous trio, and floral clasp from Jeanette in the Bead Soup Party exchange. I love the colors in the beautiful lentils by artist Dawn White and the substantial floral sterling clasp I received. Blues and greens with a dash of black, flowers and leaves and what you get is a simple, sweet bauble to grace the wrist.






With some unexpected family responsibilities this past month, I haven't had much time to 'play' with my stash of jewelry components, so this virtual party gave me a wonderful excuse to take a few minutes for myself and remember why I love playing with beads so much.


Join me today in checking out all the wonderful bead soup designs by the bodacious list of participants below--I know I'm going to love seeing all the great eye candy and I hope you do too! My first stop will be to see what my exchange partner Jeanette, at Jeannette Blix Wire and Metal Jewelry did with the bead soup I sent her!
