I'm participating in the Bead Soup Party that Kalmbach Publishing is hosting to celebrate Lori Anderson's Bead Soup book coming out this fall. Here's the bead mix I received over the weekend from Let It Bead in Englewood, Colorado.
I love that this bead soup is the complete opposite of what I would have
picked out myself. That makes it a true challenge! The pendant and
toggle are brass. The brown beads are shell. Aren't those green beads
interesting? They look like little eyeballs. (Or maybe I just have Halloween on the brain!) The orange rondelles might
be carnelian.
The completed necklaces will be posted on Facebook and Pinterest in early November. (I'll post links when they're available.) Stay tuned to see what I and all the other designers create!
