Bead Soup Swap Challenge 2021

Yep, that's right, I'm doing another Bead Soup Swap Challenge. Lori Anderson is the host, and my new partner is Sarah Beardslee. I love doing these swaps, because you meet new people and are given new challenges.

Here is a quick look at what I sent Sarah.

I knew I wanted to sent yellow and gray, because they are the new Pantone Colors of the year...and besides, I love yellow! Such a happy color!


I have a lot of paper beads I made several years ago, and decided to send her my yellow ones


I made here some beads from recycled sari ribbon and wire.


I love these yellow butterflies, so decided to add them into the mix....


along with these crystals,


brushed hematite, 


and gray glass beads.


This pretty glass leaf pendant is actually what I started out with


and I love how my soup mix was turning out.


This is not part of the bead soup, but just a little gift I made for Sarah. It is an ornament made from recycled guitar strings, hemp, agate beads, stone heart and wire.


We were suppose to send a pendant and a clasp with coordinating beads, so I made here this simple hook and eye clasp.


I found these as I was hunting around for more goodies, so I decided to toss them in.


More hematite!


...and a few little leaf beads to finished the mix.

If you would like to see this soup mix in a little more detail, head on over to my Youtube channel

Stay tuned for all the goodies Sarah sent me...The are a really gorgeous grouping of beads!!!!
