A Star....

Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal

It was my pleasure to be partnered with Jean A. Wells please be sure to check out her blog for some amazing pieces! Jean sent me some lovely ingredients for my soup.

I am really happy to be a part of this challenge hosted by Sally Russick. Please visit her blog at The Studio Sublime Normally my work tends to be in contrasting color schemes rather than monochromatic shcemes. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a piece in varying shades of ORANGE!! I,love Orange it shouts out loud! What's your favorite crayon color? Be sure to look for your favorite color on Sally's blog where you will find a lot of very talented artists for your blog hopping pleasure!

The faceted rondelles were purchased from Lydia at Beedtime Bead Shop here in Ocala. The Preciosa crystals were acquired at Birdsong Beads in Andrews, NC on one of out many trips up to Murphy.

 This is a post a long time in coming!   But I have decided to post some reviews of places I have shopped from (beading related) or persons whom I have purchased products.  Ok so here is a big shout out to Althea Duffy of Opals from Ranch Surreal.  Look that up on Facebook folks!  I have purchased opals, sterling opals, boulder opals, and turquoise from her and HAVE NEVER been disappointed.  From time to time she posts a sale of her stones on Facebook via live video, check it out, you won’t be disappointed!  She has a delightful personality, and begins with a welcoming “Hey Guys!” Every time!  She has a large variety of all sizes, shapes, and types of cabochons perfect for bead embroidery!  Plus she does some awesome beadwork herself.   Go check her Facebook group out!  The above is unsolicited, unpaid for review that is totally my own opinion!
