Rosa & Josie's: Bead Soup Ingredients (from Melissa)

Bead Soup Ingredients (from Melissa)

Goodies I received from my Bead Soup Blog Party partner, Melissa.

Gorgeous blues, amber and iridescent purple glass.

A group of luscious glass leaves that shimmer and shine like pools of cold clean water.

And, to top it off....her grandmother's string of AB crystals!
Ahhhh, right now I am ~~stumped~~ excited. What will I design with them?
A first...working with lampwork beads, that is.

That's the beauty of a challenge.

To be faced with the unknown, yet excited about the possibilities.
Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all that he can.
