Bead Soup reveal

Ok, if I did this correctly it is posting just after Midnight on September 17th at Pacific Time. Serena - thanks so much for the beautiful focal piece, clasp and beads. I had a wonderful time creating this. The colors on the humming bird are just great.

in the meanwhile

Here's something to pique your interest while waiting for Bead Soup on the 17th.

I really enjoy participating or winning these:

Bead soup sent and received

I had to reformat my hard drive which means I am having 'fun' finding all my favorites, so it has slowed down my postings.

That said, my Bead Soup partner, Serena sent me some beautiful items [bottom picture] and I (hopefully) returned the favor [top picture].

I really love the Hummingbird pendant and out of the sack it is so pretty.
