Kalmbach Bead Soup Party!

In honor of Lori Anderson's new book.........

Bead Soup: 32 Projects Show What Happens When 26 Beaders Swap Their Stash

 

Kalmbach Publishing is hosting a bead soup party. Bead and Jewelry stores all over the US sent in bead soups for participants to receive and create a beautiful necklace with the soup ingredients they received. http://www.facebook.com/KalmbachJewelryBooks. 

Those of us that filled out the application, anxiously waited for the postal service, In hopes that one of these lovely yellow envelopes would find their way into our mailboxes.

 I was sure I was not one of those lucky participants as I waited and waited.........

But much to surprise and delight, one of those glorious yellow envelopes found it way to me. Yeah! I get to participate! 

 

My bead soup comes from Facets of Isis

I am so excited! Oh the possibilities....... This soup is simmering!
