.......I present to you for a Night at the Opera..................Madame Butterfly

Welcome to the reveal of the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party. My partner Nat http://www.grubbi.co.uk sent me a lovely Soup to work with. Unfortunately the Soup I sent her got mangled in the post so she has only has a few things to work with. As you can see I spent a lovely time creating. I added quite a few things of my stash and as always I found it quite hard to know when to stop!
The two large flowers on the necklace and bag are creations I made at a class given by the wonderful Jill Flower. Check her out on http://www.jillflower.com/ I spent a fantastic day there as a birthday treat, she is soo creative. My job finishes in September and then I would like to spend more time creating. Come over to my new Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/aroomforchange and like me to see more in the future. A big thank you to Lori. As ever you are fabulously wonderful!!! and to Nat for the ingredients of the Soup. MarjoleinX Have a look what the other participants created with their soups.
