Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal

I was only able to complete 3 pieces from the soup that my partner sent, my husband has become quite ill and I have be taking care of him, but I am very pleased with what I did get made.

The pendant was so pretty I didn't think it needed anything more than a pretty silver chain. I love the bracelet piece and had just the right color super duos to go with it. The blue beads worked really well with the copper spacers that I had picked up at the last bead show I attended.

Looking forward to seeing what my partner and everyone else creates

Teaching peyote stitch class

I will be teaching a beginner peyote stitch class tomorrow night at the Wagoner Arts Alliance. We will start with size 8 beads in two colors to make it easier to follow.

I will try to get some pictures from the class to post

Bead Soup Blog Hop Hoarder's edition Update

I have received my beads from my partner Denise McCabe:

And she has received the beads that I sent:

Now the fun begins, we each have until reveal day of March 25th (my birthday) to create beautiful things with the soup that we were sent. It is always a challenge to work with things of another's choosing and that is part of the fun, to push you out of your comfort zone and just create!

I will be creating and adding update teasers as I go along.
