HERE THEY ARE ....

Forgive me for not getting this post up sooner, but I spent last night and early this morning in the ER with my Mother.  Everything is okay, but she is staying in the hospital until her problem is cleared up.  It's going to mean going back and forth between work, hospital and home.  Busy, busy times for a few days.

Anyway, as promised, here are the Bead Soup ingredients that my partner Jessica sent to me.  Before I show you, let me say that these ingredients are very different from anything that I would normally work with.  Not bad different, just different.  And, I think that that is what Lori Anderson wants all of us to experience.  It is also the reason why I signed up for this blog hop.  It is the not knowing, the surprise of finding out, and the experience of creating something that is new to you that makes this so worthwild.  I have ideas for what I want to do with what I recieved and I am getting excited to try something I haven't tried yet.  But, you have to wait for the reveal for that.  Here is what I recieved....



please forgive the blurry photos

 

 

Yup.  Hot Pink.  I do like it.  It has taken a few days of living with them, but I am beginning to figure out what I want to do with them.  I am picturing macreme and black linen cord.  We shall see.  My guess is that there will be more than one piece to come out of all the goodies I received.  I particularly like the small square beads.  I think that the green is a really good color to pair with the pink.

 

I want to thank Jessica for the great ingredients.  I do like them very much.  The color is not one that I would choose for myself, I am much more a red and green lover.  And I am more drawn to muted and earthy tones, but I am so excited to work with these gifts.

 

As for what I sent to Jessica, she should be receiving her package any day now.  I know that she is very busy with her new condo, so it might take a few days for her post.  I have a confession about the soup ingredients that I sent her.  Everything that I sent to her, I already had in my stash.  The reason that I had it in my stash is because I have been stumped as to what to do with the ingredients.  I love bright colors, but I don't know what to do with them.  I can't wait to see what Jessica has to say and what she creates.

 

Things are getting exciting....

 

HAPPY CREATING.....
