A taste of goodies I sent to my bead soup partner...
faceted ruby quartz and druzy crystal quartz hearts.
This is my third time to participate in Lori Anderson's
I was fortunate to be paired with a fellow Texan
and gifted lampwork glass bead artist,
I received her lovely package that was filled to the max with a mix of goodies.
Freshwater pearls and more....
Antique beads from India.
And, of course,
some of Lyn's gorgeous ruffled glass beads.

Super light and airy.
My mind is buzzing.
What I sent to Lyn, begins with the picture you saw at the opening of this post.
A group of faceted ruby quartz beads...in graduating size.
A couple of druzy hearts.
And...
a vintage faceted glass necklace AND large vintage rhinestone brooch.
All tucked inside this antique love bird pewter box.
Do you think I had Valentine's Day in mind?
Yep, I did.
I almost chuckled when I read Lyn's post about what I sent her here.
Can't wait to see what she designs.
Can't wait to see what I design.
Stay tuned. Big reveal date is March 3rd.

Hi Diane,
I have finished my first round with what you sent me! I need to fine-rune the stringing so that it "wears right." I've surprised myself, so thanks for the great challenge. Can hardly wait for the March3rd reveal!

Just beautiful, Diane. I love that Lyn's bead soup is so original. And her ruffled lampwork is so beautiful. Lyn was my very first bead soup partner - isn't she great?
Holy Smokes! That's a lot of great stuff - can't wait to see what comes of it! Happy Creating.

I cannot imagine the excitement all of you have when you receive your box of bead soup goodies. How exciting! My birthday is March 3rd and I plan to spend part of it checking out all of the bead soup participants websites. So inspiring.
