Bead Soup. The Ingredients Have Arrived!

This is my fourth time signing up for the fantastic Bead Soup Block Party hosted by Lori Anderson. 

This year, there are over 500 participants from all over the world!

Lori partnered me up with the ultra talented Julie Panusis of Petaluma, California. She has a blog titled Cat's Meow Co that has an entertaining photo of a cat or cats at the end of each post. Some of them really crack me up! She is a very creative lady who seems like she is a blast to hang out with! Her recent interests include matalwork and wirework.

A girl after my own heart as I too have been exploring both mediums, thanks to some fantastic classes I took at Bead Fest with Eva Sherman and Brenda Schweder. Lori Anderson really is a genius at pairing people up!

Just as exciting as finding out who my partner would be for this round of Bead Soup, was receiving my bead soup ingredients in the mail! Julie sent me a fantastic assortment of beads and findings in this cool plastic box...

This is the soup that I sent Julie...

I am very excited to dive into the fantastic ingredients that Julie sent me. I wonder what I will create this time around. Stop back on April 6th to see where my creative imagination takes me!
