The Bead Soup mix that I sent to my Partner Silke has now arrived and she says she loves it, even though the colour palette is outside her usual comfort zone. My soup has a definite ocean/beach feel to it and here's what I sent her...
I sent my own bronze focals and clasps as well as a couple of charms. I played with some enameling on one of the focals which I'm quite pleased with and yes, I did send bars with the clasps, I just forgot to photograph them!
As Silke is a lampworker I didn't want to send "coals to Newcastle" so instead I sent her some of Carloine Dewison's lovely ceramic urchins and some polymer clay rondelles by 'Tropical Blonde'.
To complement these I sent some gorgeous rustic pearls from Smitten Beads along with some Aquamarine, Sea Coral and dyed Agate.
And for accent and contrast - Tiger Ebony rondelles, some metallic Czech glass and some gorgeous silk raggy ribbon from SowZerE Designs.
I would have great fun with this mix so I really hope Silke does too...I can't wait to see what she does with it but that will have to wait until April 13th...so far away.

What a lovely collection - I'm sure she'll create something delicious x
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to see what Silke creates with your gorgeous collection! Really chuffed to have some of my beads in with them... Thanks Lesley!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you make either... I have the same date, it seems like an eternity away!
Well I thought I'd share your lovely beads Caroline knowing I can always get more... :0)
