Bead Soup Delicious

My Delicious package of Bead Soup has arrived from Lisa Oram. Aren't these a wonderful set of beads to get the imagination going. I absolutely love the colors and the different shapes. Since I have been emailing with Lisa, I have learned that she likes to do beadwork, especially bead crochet. She also makes her own flameworked beads. Here is a close up pic of some of her artists beads that she made and included in the stash she sent me.

You may be wondering where the clasp is. I requested that I be able to make a clasp with one of her beads so you will be seeing it when the piece is finished.

Now the challenge begins. I do not yet have a plan for how I will work with these pretties but will keep you posted.

Thank you Lisa for such a wonderful serving of Bead Soup.

You can see pics, and read about the beads, pendant and clasp that I sent to Lisa here.
