Bead Soup Blog Party

Soup's almost ready .....

Here is what I started with: 

Pam Krinski, Ewa Beads  sent me 2 red, oblong African Trade beads.

Next, was some Thai silver nuggets.

Followed by a beautiful Washi paper tile pendant made by my bead partner, Pam.

Add a silver toggle clasp and a Korean coin!!

Now add a 1/2 cup carved bone for extra flavor.

A couple of pinches of dyed fossil beads,

and sprinkled on top 1/4 cup of gold matte seed beads!!

My bead soup mix needs some time to simmer.

Stop by tomorrow, Saturday, February 26th!!
