REVEAL! Bead Soup Blog... PartyOn!

I had a wonderful time with my first bead soup exchange!  I humbly admit it was a challenge for me using components out of my level of confidence.  Just call me "Simple Simon"...I can do elaborate in glass, but not for complex jewelry design.

A reminder of my ingredients from Kitty

As I placed the first bead cap on a bead (my usual way below the bead), it suddenly occurred to me that fall is almost here and our massive oak reminded me also:

Acorns!

I decided to feature Kitty's resin pendant by surrounding it with acorns, and even had enough to make earrings, accented with
Kitty's handmade tags.

Notice the lovely detail on the clasp.

The Full View

Such a big pot of soup had enough for 2!

And even a 3rd set!

Handmade Pendant

As you've seen, the soup ingredients yielded 3 full recipes!
Here's the leftovers:

And they WILL get consumed!

 At any rate, I am absolutely delighted with ALL of the results!  I just hope my partner, Kitty, agrees ;-) and I'd like to thank her again for sending such a delicious soup!

My partner, Kitty,

Have fun at the Party!

Soup, Soup, Who's in the Soup?

Does the blog post title take you back a few years?  I haven't thought about my favorite childhood game since heck was a pup!  But tonight, the phrase just crept forward from the ancient archives of my memory.

My sister and I, cousins, and neighborhood kids used to stay outside til after dark playing this "interactive" game (to use 21st century verbiage).  The children formed a circle around one blindfolded person who stood with outstretched pointing finger while slowly twirling and reciting the game's mantra in monotone (spooky-ish) tone:

"Soup, soup, who's in the soup?"

Whomever the pointed finger landed on when the question ended, had to reply what kind of soup they were, but with a disguised voice: "TOMATO SOUP!" (deep, husky voice).  If the blindfolded guessed who spoke, they gave chase and if "tomato soup" was caught, they had to return to the middle of the circle and be "it".  Such were the days of my youth, ah......

In my last post, I sorta blindfolded YOU and asked:  

Soup, soup, who's in the soup? 

 Can you guess?


Ok, let's take off the steamy lid, so we're able to get a peek...

I think we could call it "Seashell Macaroni"!  LOL.

This is the bead soup I sent to my partner, Kitty at Perles and Life; I do hope she likes the ingredients I sent.

And tomorrow, we shall find out "Who's in the Soup" that Kitty sent to me!  I can't wait to show you!  Off to shoot photos...
