My beads in other people's work.

I just love seeing how other people use my beads to make jewelry. I sold these beads recently to a jewelry designer in Russia, Tatiana Poputnikova. She made these beautiful pieces. I love how she used the Mykonos beads and the other disk beads in conjuction with the lampwork beads. Check out Tatiana's work HERE.

I got my bead soup in the mail today. Thanks to Lisa Suver for a lovely group of beads. I'm quite tinkled pink. First in the box was this wrapped box and in that box there is this lovely wrapped package. Check out Lisa's blog HERE and her Etsy shop HERE

It was like Christmas morning opening up the packages and the gift!

Check out these lovely beads. These are polymer clay beads in shades of deep green/turquoise, coral/red, gold, brown and white. It is hard to tell but that large focal is a wonderful big bead.

I think my favorites are the spacer beads in a lovely gradiant of colors.

She sent some metal spacers, turquoise and pearls that are great compliments to her polymer beads.

Funny Photo

So, the big news in the Seattle area today is the snow. We just don't get it very often and at my home I have about six inches, some areas have over a foot or more. What I think is bigger news: shopping Rosters. Check out this funny guy trying to be let in at the Staples in Issaquah. I think he was just trying to get warm, check out the wet ground, it was pouring rain. Please excuse the poor photo, taken with my flip phone.

Bead Soup Party Blog

Yay, my name was picked in Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party. I did this last fall and it was tons of fun. Lori pairs you up with another beader and you send each other beads to make into jewelry.

I have been paired with fellow Washingtonian Lisa Suver. I have been checking out her Etsy site and she makes just lovely items. I sure hope I can send her beads that she will like and will be a challenge. Looks like there is very little she does not use.
