Below is a little eye-candy and an idea what the BSBP is all about.

I participated in the Bead Soup Blog Party in 2013. My partner, Beccy Peterson and I were able to participate without a Blog by posting on our FaceBook Page. Here are a couple pictures of what I received from Beccy and what I made.
This is what I received. 

We had to use the Focal and the Clasp.
 The Glass Focal was BEAUTIFUL,
As was the glass Toggle Clasp!


 Here is a close-up. I couldn't capture the true beauty or awesome colors of the focal - my photography skills are a work in progress!
I really enjoyed the challenge, working with beads and colors I wouldn't normally choose.
I also used waxed Linen cord, Leather cord and even broke out a stash of my Wooly Wire!!!

This is what I sent Beccy.







                                                 




And she REALLY out did herself, She must have used EVERY bit of what I sent her!

 
 Come back Saturday February 11th to see who my partner will be! Also, mark your calendar for Saturday MARCH 25th for the REVEAL :-)
