UPDATED: Bead Peeps Swap'n Hop Reveal!

Finally a few pics to load! Lovely bead selection from Becky Pancake.  Thank you Becky, I had a lot of fun once I figured out what to work with first.😊




Son #2, AJ graduated from Carroll High School!


Here's what I made with the purple and topaz? beads using the lampwork rondell as a focal for the bracelet.
I put the blue batch of beads to the side for now, unless inspiration hits me sometime soon.

 The Bead Peeps group has bead swap and hop each year.  This year my swap partner is Becky Pancake.  We both share a love of dolls and beads!  Our color choices were even similar.  I would love to post pictures, but for some reason my camera/computer is having a problem loading pictures.  I think I need a new cord, or even better...a new camera.  I hope to have the issue resolved sometime tomorrow morning.

 So, keep on hopping! 

 One challenge down, and several more to attend too.

 Renetha

    Hi Renetha, I enjoyed having you as a partner. The beads that you sent were wonderful. I was very inspired. I hope you enjoyed the beads I sent as much as I did what I received from you. I will check back to see what you made.

BSBP#8: The Big Reveal

Right to the good stuff..... Made with Rhonda's beaded bead, crystals, and agate rondelles. Made with Rhonda's (she made it) clasp and lampwork focal. Bracelet made with brown rainbow bugle beads supplied by Rhonda. Bracelet is based on a tutorial, Toskana by SeeBead .  I used Czech twins instead of tila or tile beads.  I didn't have enough tile beads so the twins made a wonderful substitution. Soup I started with. Thank you Lori for hosting a wonderful 8th swap and blog hop!  Thank you Rhonda for a most enjoyable soup!  To see other simmering soups and creations visit the BSBP blog for the list of participants (about 500)!

Problem: Northridge Publishing Company (Bead Trends Magazine)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I was a long time reader of Bead Trends Magazine .  It was a publication filled with beautiful handmade jewelry and inspiration.  But now the not so beautiful side to Northridge Publishing Company.   Bead Trends last issue was for July.  I don't know about anyone else, but Northridge Publishing Company did not notify me that the magazine would no longer be published. I used my credit card to set up monthly transactions for the magazine. Evidence of Bead Trends disappeared from all social media outlets.  So I went to the website and deleted my credit card information.  Charges continued to show up on my statement for August, September, and October.  If a charge shows up for November....... I contacted Northridge Publishing Company several times via their chat room.  No response.  I sent two emails.  Finally today, I received an email from their customer service.

7th Bead Soup Blog Party: 1st Reveal!!!

Here is a pic of my final design for the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party , hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things.  It was a lot of fun, and I still have about 50% of party goer blogs to visit. Last minute additions:  Working with leftover soup!  Bracelet made with gorgeous teal agates.  I love the clasp.  I didn't know it was a clasp until it stuck to some metal chain.  Investigating further, I found it was a magnetic clasp.  How cool is that?  Jayashree sent me a wonderful soup.  Believe it or not, I still have more soup!  Stay tuned for more. Now, what to do with the brass stampings..... Just added a few swarovski pearls and walla!  Dangle earrings! Now it is time for me to show off some of what I made with the bead soup from Jayashree Paramesh, Nchantme . The funny thing is, I am not done yet.  I have soup leftover.  I will post more, if I have time. Don't forget to stop by Jayashree...
