What's in the soup?

Hey Guys!  Have you heard about the Bead Soup Blog Party Lori Anderson has organized? 

Here is the short scoop:  1. Everyone who has agreed to participate will send a focal, a special clasp, and a small assortment of coordinating beads to a bead swap partner.   2. Everyone then makes a piece of jewelry using the focal and clasp that they were sent in the swap.  The coordinating beads are an extra resource that the designer can choose to use or not.

I found some suspicious ingredients in some of the soup packs photographs in the Bead Soup Party Flickr Group....  could it be Ceramic Beads?

  2. Good Sleuthing Kristie and wonderful finds. Yeah for Bead Soup. I participated last time but knew I couldn't plant a veggie garden and make soup at the same time along with everything else. But I know I am missing out on the fun. So lets do one here--a little later on, like Fall?

  5. This is my first Bead Soup. I'm partnered with Jen V who sent me a fabulous glass focal that I ended up using as the clasp. Oh, but don't tell Jen. She can't see til the 19th.
