Yeah, I got my Bead Soup!

My bead soup partner is Debbie Goering from Prairie Emporium. I love her jewelry and I just love the 
 beads she sent me,

Now I just hope she likes the beads I sent her :-). Here is another close up.



The mix in the first picture is handmade by her, Copper, Brass and Sterling Silver. Isn't that pendant just awesome? The second picture shows a Czeck glass bead mix, and the third some pearls. The fourth one is a copper chain and ring that she patinaed and sealed with wax, and a sterling silver toggle clasp. Here is some of her work.
This is how she sent me these great treats, wrapped in a hand painted fabric, makes me feel bad I just put my beads in a little plastic zipper bag.  It's my first party, I know more the second one. I wasn't sure what to expect. This is definitely something I would do again!

  4. Very beautiful soup!! Her work is lovely. :3

    And, don't feel bad, I did the same thing you did. XD It's logical that one would be a bit pampering toward one's partner, but I just didn't think of it for this first bead swap. Next time will be better. :)
