We’re not even going to discuss the time it’s been since my last post…so, moving ahead, it’s almost time for the Bead Soup reveal (taking part across several days since there are so many participants this time).
I have been remiss in posting both a pic of the beads I received (from Maria Grimes, Garden Path Beads) and those I sent to her. Thought I could find one on Flickr but I was mistaken…the good news is I have my Bead Soup piece finished and photographed!
The Reveal party starts tomorrow and continues for the next several days as the nearly 100 participants reveal their projects. I think I’m in the first group. 🙂
Here’s a teaser of what I created with the whimsical beads Maria created for me:
Check back tomorrow at Bead Soup Central to see the full result and lots of other creative works of art!

ADORE the fish, but I’m not surprised since I love everything Maria makes. And since I’m the proud owner of your jewelry, how can I not love whatever you make?
