Is It Soup Yet?

Well, I got my bead soup ingredients the other day from my partner Mandi Ainsworth.  We sent our beads out on Monday.  Here is what I got:

 A black and blue glass focal bead by Crystal Gilbert Lampwork Design, coordinating strands of beads and a dragonfly clasp (I happen to love dragonflys).  She also sent me a beaded pen that she made. 
 I have been browsing thru my favorite inspiration sites to figure out what I want to do with my stash.  Bracelet? Earrings? Necklace?  All three?  Guess you'll just have to check back and see on the Bead Soup Blog Reveal Day.  If you want a sneak peak at what we all got..here is the list of participants:

Reveal day is March 3rd...

Mandi is a fantastic seed bead artist, but I didn't send her any seed beads.  If she is like me she has a large stash of them just waiting to be put to use.  I did send her a lamp work heart focal bead with matching beads and an embossed key charm (I made all of them), assorted glass pearls and crystals and I added some copper chain and findings and sari silk.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

    That's some cool stuff -- and since they're basic colors, you can go wild with your OWN stashes, you know? And you can make as many pieces with as much of what you got as you want -- even the clasp doesn't have to go with the focal.

    Thanks for posting this!

    Hi, Lynnea. I was so excited to see the article Barbara did on you on her blog. In just the past year since I've been visiting the chat periodically, your work has gone from wow to wowsers! I'm loving watching all the new designs you display. Was happy to see your name in the bead soup pot and can't wait to see what you do with all your lovelies. Happy creating!
