Bead Soup Arrived!

I don't think I mentioned that I was one of the lucky ones. Only 200 of nearly 400 people were selected to participate in this round of the Soup. It's completely understandable, as Lori Anderson can not be expected to perform feats of magic on a regular basis! That she can wrangle 200 people is mind boggling enough. 

My partner is Debbie of Prairie Emporium. I received my soup yesterday, and was excited to see how much I loved what she sent! It's always a little nerve wracking when you're about to open it and you're crossing your fingers that you didn't get that color or type of bead you can't stand. Well Debbie did good! Have a look at all she sent:

Feathers! I know feathers are pretty trendy right now, but I've always loved them and I haven't used them in jewelry (yet). I love the dotted ones best! I definitely plan to to something special with them!





Czech glass!!! An adorable lamp work owl! And a beautiful ceramic donut that she made. Plus, a pretty silver & brass toggle and some copper chain. Looks like I have a good selection to work with. I can't wait to start playing with it. I don't know if she's received my package yet, but I hope she likes it.

Make sure to come back on March 3rd for the reveal and hop!

  7. I'm in love with the owl bead. Adorable!

    I can't wait to see what you do with the feathers. I've never used them in jewelry before -- have no clue how -- but I've always loved peacock feathers.

  8. I do hope you have fun with the soup I sent!! I love my pkg from you, including the little tin box, so cute. It's going to be a challenge to do right by the beautiful pendant you sent, but I will try and love every minute of it. Have a great day!!!

  9. Thanks everyone :) I'm really excited to begin playing with it. I've been so busy after work the last couple of days though so it's just sitting there staring at me with big puppy dog eyes begging me to play with it! For sure this weekend - I've got little on the schedule.

  18. That is a beautiful and creative batch of soup ingredients! I have worked with feathers in some of my jewelry designs -- great fun! I usually wire-wrap them in -- and my favorites are the speckled ones, too. Enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing what you create. :)
