bead soup party blog hop

Wow...........I just finished  hopping through all of the blogs about  9:00 this morning! It took an amazingly large amount of time......but it was well worth it, I saw some amazing eye candy........and met some wonderful artists, if only through their written words and photos, there are some amazingly talented people involved in this group!  Not sure I have enough talent of my own to belong here.........but its fun trying!  Thank you so much Lori, for going to all the hard work to provide us with such a fun venue to meet fellow beaders and share our varied talents with each other!

bead soup blog party!!

woo hoo I finally got my bead soup blog party project done, it was the simplest design of all the projects I have done since the B.S.B.P. began, but due to my eyes failing me in the middle of it, it has taken longer than the others.........but now it is done and I have my pics done too, what a relief it is! no sneak peeks though. I don't know how to blur my pic to do that......so you have to wait till Saturday

bead soup

this is a photo of the bead soup my partner Sandy Richardson sent me (I borrowed the pic from her blog) the only thing different is she sent a grape leaf clasp instead of the butterfly clasp....she also sent me polymer clay elephant that she made! its really cute!  I love the beautiful fused glass pendant she made for me.......

Bead soup

I have my bead soup project 3/4 of the way done, but had to stop, because my eyes are failing me big time right now......I can hardly use the computer because I can hardly read the print, I have it magnafied to 150, and its still blurry.......distance  vision is fine, but close up is really bad......this really sucks ......
