Bead Soup

I was Randomly NOT chosen for the Bead Soup Blog Party this round which makes me sad - but hey, life goes on. I've decided to continue to live in my rose colored world and pretend that I was chosen and that the bead set I had put together for my partner is the one I received. This seems fair to me since my blog is pretty new and doesn't have thousands of followers who are now crying in their bead stash.

So - on with the show!

Here's the bead set that I received for the BSBP (in my head)-

 

As you can see - nothing like my normal choices. I actually bought the focal bead from a couple in Arizona (I think) quite awhile ago. One of those impulse things and somehow I've never been able to make it work for me. It's BIG (25mm) and pillow shape has always been a challenge for me as well.  But its ok ~ I'm feeling like I'm up for the challenge!

Hang on to your horses ladies - she's off to the races! (sleeves rolled, sparks flying, smoke..... cue thunderous music!)
