Bead Soup Blog Party - 2011

Soups On!  I’ve joined the Bead Soup Blog Party sponsored by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things.  This is an annual event to help bead jewelry artists work on a project that is outside of their normal comfort zone. 

Studio Time!  Each participant was assigned a partner for the event.  My partner is Ingrid McCue of Wrapped in Silver.  Ingrid selected and shipped me a package of lovely beads that she would use in one of her designs; I will use the beads she selected to create a piece of my own.  I did the same for Ingrid; I shipped a package of beads that I would be comfortable using.  The objective for each designer is to work with materials that they wouldn’t normally select.   I’m excited to get started on the project using the gorgeous beads I received.

(Pictured below are the beads I received from Ingrid….)

 Party Day! On February 26 finished designs will be displayed on each participant’s blog.  That’s when the party begins!  Everyone hops around to as many Party Blogs as possible to see the wonderful results.  I can’t wait to see what Ingrid has designed using my beads.
