The current Bead Soup Blog Party is now in full swing and I’ve had the luck of the draw to be partnered up for the swap with the talented Morwyn Mullins (Another Country Bead Works). Morwyn does some fancy seed beading and and her work has loads of creative energy. So without further delay, I’m spilling the beads… here’s a sample of what I sent to Morwyn … because a woman needs options, there’s a real assortment of materials. You can check out her blog post for better photos of the loot.
And here is what I received from Morwyn…
Seeds beads … I’ve been wanting to work some neutrals, but color always seem to win out with me.
I’m really liking those little tiny bone skull beads and those terra cotta figure beads.
And, these great picture jasper pieces. They remind me so much of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which happens to be about four miles from my home. It’s a shame that I so rarely get to enjoy hiking the canyon these days. Perfect days for it lately.
Thanks for the materials Morwyn. And, thanks Lori Anderson (Pretty Things) for once again hosting this creative challenge.
So glad all arrived safe and sound! Now to the fun part, yes?
Great photo of the red rocks, too –
Cheers!
What a beautiful mix of beads! Have fun with them.
Gorgeous soup ingridents for the both of you. I can’t wait to see what you both create with all those goodies!
I love the neutral color palette. Bright colors always seem to win with me, too. I can’t wait to see what you make!
I love the things you sent to your partner, too. Are those handmade ribbon flowers? They look like they’d be fun to design with.
Some really eclectic, cool things! You can make several pieces with all that!
Wow, what you sent was really neat (I haven’t headed over to see the other pictures yet, but I will just as soon as I finish up here!)
The neutral color palette you received is really soothing somehow. And those terra cotta figurines are to-die-for-awesome! I’m on pins and needles to see what you make.
I have at least a half dozen ideas already, but as always, I look to incorporate a new technique ( for me) with each challenge.
I love all the natural looking beads you got, very funky! Your totally right, they have like a cool desert palette to them. Can’t wait to see what you do with your BSBP beads!
