My Bead Soup Arrived Today!!

It took 4 weeks for this parcel to get here.

We really thought it wasn't coming. 

So we moved our reveal date 

to the last one on August 28th.

Sarah is so generous.

She sent a second soup mix just a few days ago.

No worries Sarah I'll send you a second one as well.

Flower Power

Maybe some of you remember that expression from the 60's.

I was just a little girl at the time.

couldn't help it...

this bracelet reminded me of that expression.

Here I used Moonlight Journey's collage sheet 

entitled 

Bee Butterflies and Faeries

Jewelry Sampler

to created this whimsical charm bracelet.

Along with miscellaneous store bought 

charms and some handmade ones.

Bottle Cap Inc's 1/2 inch acrylic cabochons. 

Flattened out the 1/2 "

mini bottle caps and colored them with

 Alcohol inks and  Patina paints by Ranger.

Seed beads & Jump rings

Went blog surfing the other day from the list of 

blogs that I follow.

Through KimmyKats Blog 

I found this tutorial from Gossiping Goddess

on how to create this seed bead and jump ring bracelet.

It is just my speed (easy) and really cool. 

So I made this bracelet today using some of the beads 

that Lorelei had sent me from a previous bead soup.

Added an old button and a cream bone bead 

disc spacer, a few Sodalite beads strung on 

 natural waxed cotton cord.

Looks great with my jeans!!!
Update: 7/20/12
Here are two more

 One was done while watching the View

The other while watching the Chew.

Waiting on the Soup

Well it seems to be taking a while 

for the bead soup for me 

to arrive from England.

Mine arrive to Sarah in  record time.

The thing is we have no control over 

international shipping.

I'm hoping they arrive this week.

This is the assortment I sent Sarah and 

she has already blogged about it.

She said it reminded her of peacock feathers.

You know...she's right!
