Last week I posted about my involvement in this season’s Bead Soup Blog Party and I shared the soup I sent to my partner, Christina.
Today I want to share the soup she sent me!
It arrived in an awesome metallic blue bubble mailer and inside were 2 cute packages, in these pretty drawstring bags, and a note.
I opened the little pouches and then had to restrain myself from spreading them out, mixing them up and starting to play. It’s such a beautiful soup, I wanted to dive in straight away but the light was too bad to take any good pictures so I had to keep it intact until daylight!
I can’t believe how ‘me’ the soup is! Turquoise, in all shades of mint and sea-foam through teal, is my absolute favourite colour and I gravitate to colour palettes with just one colour combined with neutrals! I also love the natural, raw look *and* mixing it with a little sparkle for a rustic/glitzy contrast. Oh, and those enameled headpins… did I already mention my current enamel crush!?
I had to get a closer picture of the focal bead so you can see the way it combines the brown with the teal and loads of texture and interest.
And I couldn’t resist getting some arty close-up of some of the beads with the sun shining through them!
What do you think of my bead soup?
