~bead soup goodies

i'm doing the latest bead soup as you can see from the right hand ad. 

i find it to be fun & challenging.

 and this week my soup partner Danielle so completely threw me for a loop with an amazing stash, 

so i'll definitely be returning the favor in the form of a finished piece. 

yum! see her blog here.

brass, rubies, vintage glass, agate. 

 got some ideas spinning in the head and getting ready to work them out soon, 

but the boards come first!

lustrous vintage glass pearls. knotting is in order perhaps.

 then today i made a purple pin.

and some components. enjoy!
