Round 2 of Lori Anderson's Sept Challenge

Lori has posted her second round of creations using my Spirited Earth ceramic beads.
i can't decide which of these might be my favorite..though i am very drawn to her blue re-do

which i think turned out brilliantly.

but then the other 2 necklaces each have something quite wonderful going on , a feast for the eyes.
Please go check out Lori's blog to read more about how she is challenging her creativity, thinking outside the box..changing the norm..

More Soup Giveaway

I was a bit late in posting my necklace yesterday so did not get to finish my blogging..

This Bead Soup Party is shown on several different posts..my apologies..I'm new to blogging and beading but love both..

I have so enjoyed this bead swap that Lori cooked up..I wanted to say thanks for the invite by doing a giveaway of cup o'soup of clay beads.

The winner will be randomly selected from the list of comments left on my posts of the party..as the posts are in 3 different sections( again sorry) i will include every ones comments from those..

The winner will be selected Sunday noon central time.

Also there are before and after photos of the participants work and bead mixes on the Bead Soup flickr group.

This is the cup o'soup for the giveaway.

lots of hearts to celebrate Valentine's Day,turquoise melon beads and tubes.
