The 8th Bead Soup Blog Party

Yes Yes Yes!!! I am all signed up for the 8th Bead Soup Blog Party.

This is the third time I have entered and hopefully it will be another fantastic hop.

Just in case you don't know about the event. The wonderful Lori from 

http://www.prettythingsblog.com/

is the organizer and she pairs you up with another person somewhere in the world. You send your partner a focal, a clasp and a bowl ( a soup) of beads.

Then on the reveal date ( this year the 3rd of May) you publish on your blog the bowl of beadsoup you received and the jewellery you made from it. I always have such fun making things from my soup because you work with items you would not necessarily choose for yourself.

I always use fabric in my designs. The previous year I made 

And this scarf necklace for my first ever Bead Soup

I usually use vintage and antique items for my designs

although in this necklace I did not use any fabric other than a antique piece of lace in the silver purse. 

 I wrapped the lace round a scrap of paper with a little poem on it. The necklace was sold at Bucks Open Studio's.

I am very busy with workshops at the moment but I will be back soon with more designs.
