 Adrienne Campbell, who is my partner in the bead soup swap sent me a great set of beads to work with. I love the way it turned out and will be keeping this necklace for myself I think.

Sorry my pictures are not very good. I just finished and didn’t have sunlight .

I am in Tucson this week and setting this post to publish on Feb. 10th, hope it works. Please visit Lori Anderson’ s blog to see everyone participating in the Bead Soup Party. It has been great fun!!  Adrienne Campbell was a awesome partner. Thanks Adrienne (I love that toggle).

    Oh Debbie! It’s just beautiful! You did an outstanding job with the supplies I sent :) But then again…I knew you would after looking at the rest of your work! Truly, I must say it’s one of my favorite pieces by far and I’ve been busy hopping from blog to blog. You are amazing my friend!

    When I saw the markings on the beads, I just fell in love with them, and you really did them justice! I LOVE what you did — very, very nice! I’m so proud of what you did!

    Thanks for being a part of the party — we’ll do it again soon!
