The fabulous Bead Soup Blog Party reveal day has arrived. Many, many participants from around the globe this year, so get ready for a full day of blog hopping. Once again, thanks out to the gracious host, Lori Anderson (Pretty Things); as well as to all the amazing artists who are participating this year.
As a appetizer, the beads sent to me by my wonderfully talented partner, Carol Bradley (Carol Bradley Designs.) I was so enamored with her enameled beads that she inspired me to order some enamels from Painting With Fire.
Here’s the result of mixing and matching the beads and combining some of my own bead stash…

Wow, they’re all fabulous! Wonderful soup!
The further I scrolled, the more goodies were revealed…you have created some wonderful wearable pieces of art from a beautiful bead soup. Love them all.
I am SO sorry for being late — today our internet provider decided to crash. My stress level is through the roof, to say the least! They’re still working on it, but it’s like dial-up.
Holy smokes, woman, you rocked it ALLLLL out! I can’t even pick a favorite, I just want to scoop them all up! I’m all about color…. wow. You did a fantastic job!

Lori
Cece, Very beautiful, I really like the first necklace.
Therese
WOW so many pieces, each one outstanding, I want nearly all of them, I really can’t say enough
Goodness gracious, great balls’o fire!!!They are all outstanding, can’t pick a favorite. So creative, all of them. Nice attention to finishing details on everything as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
You know, I’m with Lori, I just can’t even pick a fav. They are all stupendous, and your design style is just spot on. This is the best use of fiber I’ve seen yet. Thank you for the luscious eye candy. So glad I got to see your creative genius at work!!
Gracious, I thought I got a lot of items made with my soup. Honey, you went above and beyond. AND each of them are so spectacular!! I love all the color you used and the uniqueness of each of your designs. Just fabulous!
My goodness, you had all my current favorite color combos in one place. Totally rocked your bead soup. LOVE it all!!
Love it! wow everything you made is just gorgeous!
It’s impossible to pick a favorite – all so with so many beautiful details! Stunning collection!
Wow, oh Wow! So many pretty pieces came from this. Looks like you got the bug and couldn’t stop! The result is so nice it’s hard to describe.
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe how much you made from your soup mix, Incredible! I am in awe of that micro macrame’d enameled bead! You are going to have so much fun enameling. Simply amazing work!
All your designs are fab-u-lous!
Wow, so many great pieces from your soup. I love her enamel beads (would love to have some of my own) I love the colors you used in the first necklace and the filigree focal. It looks so light, cheery, fun to wear. But that little clay pony necklace just tugs at my heart. Horses are my passion, but we had to sell our horses a couple of years ago and I really miss them, so that would be my favorite. Wonderful pieces.
SUCH a LOT of soup to digest! amazing pieces and all appropriate for fall….love them! ;o)
hugs
hello gorgeous xxx
MY OH MY!! This is one of my favorite soups yet!! That second bracelet just makes my mouth water… Such gorgeous work 🙂
The multi stranded bracelet is just terrific! The colors together are scrumptious! I kept scrolling down in amazement at the number of pieces you made. And each piece is designed so creatively. WELL done!
all I can say is wow! so much beautiful eye candy, you really made some beautiful things with your bead soup, I couldn’t choose a favorite if I tried, its all wonderful!
Wow! I’m blown away by your talent! Amazing pieces (so many of them)!

With such a fabulous assortment of soup ingredients to choose from, how could your creations be anything but, well, fabulous? I don’t even know where to begin! Your lampwork bead is stunning, and Carol’s enamelled beads are droolicious! I love all your pieces!
One of the best soups I have gotten to view! Incredible variety of designs!! 🙂
Oh my where to begin…… You have so many wonderful pieces. I really like the earrings with the lampwork head pins. My most favorite though is the bracelet and that focal on it- We really need more info on that. Did you make it- where did it come from. That is my favorite focal so far!!!!
Alice’s Beads and Baubles
wow! You were busy! Fabulous designs all of them, but I’m attracted to that last one. A beautiful focal but I think it’s the black beading pulling me in.
Gosh, I cannot pick a favorite they’re all gorgeous! I really do like the bracelet & the mystery polymer bead is beautiful.
So much bounty! Treasure! And your beads are divine!
Oh wow! I kept scrolling down thinking “how many pieces?!” I love them all, especially the first two. The colours in those especially are beautiful.
Wow!Wow! and one more Wow! I wouldn’t be able to choose if I had to – I love everything! Your use of color is FABULOUS!!! Beautiful!
