Finally!

My bead soup finally finished traveling and found it's way to my mailbox!  This is my very first BSBP  http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/ and I was paired with the very talented Traci Zeller http://jewellerywithatwist.blogspot.com/.  She lives in Canada and mailed the bead soup she put together for me 2 days before I sent my mix to her.  I took about 10 business days and she received what I sent her.

I made the pendant and added snakeskin agate and brown fresh water pearls with a copper flower toggle to the mix. 

I love the mix that Traci sent me, it presents me with some challenges but that is a big part of this entire process.

Traci sent me a very eclectic mix of beads.  There is a ceramic focal bird by Lisa Boucher that I love. I have  several ideas simmering about how to use it, especially with the double toggle clasp.   I do not normally do multiple stands so that adds to the challenge.  She also sent some lovely faceted moss agates, ceramic beads, a Czech glass bead and two bead spacers. 

I am so excited to finally get working with my wonderful bead soup!

Come back on March 3rd when we all do the big reveal.
