The Big Bead Soup Reveal is Saturday

This Saturday is the big Bead Soup Reveal,  there are over 300 participants and I can't wait to see what they have created with the beads sent by their partners.  I finished my piece today after putting it together and taking it apart several times I finally ended up with a piece I am thrilled with.  Please come back on Saturday to see the whole piece.

Bead soup participants from all over the world!

Bead Soup Anyone

Yesterday I opened my mailbox to a wonderful little surprise, my bead soup partner Dorcas from over at wondrous strange designs sent me a wonderful package for the swap.  Laurie over at http://lorianderson.blogspot.com/p/bead-soup-blog-party.html designed a swap called the bead soup blog party.  To participate you must have a blog be willing to send out a focal bead and a beautiful clasp, everything else you may get is just a bonus.  I sent my package out to Dorcas last Friday and as soon as she gets her package I will show you photos of what I sent but for now here is what I got in the mail.

Now I have to create a piece with the items given and anything more I would like to add Then post them to the flicker group created for the big reveal that is scheduled for February 26th.  I can't wait to see what everyone gets and then makes.
