Beadsoup Update: M is The Word!

So my beadsoup is on its way and this is what it looks like!
I am impatient and this is driving me Mad. Hurry Up Mail!

Introducing my Bead Soup Partner Susan from Ottawa. Susan makes jewellery for fun, to wear herself or give as gifts. She likes working with copper, fibre and artisan beads. She also makes all kind of lovely crafty things in lots of different media and she can sew & knit! RESPECT! My "difficult" relationship with fabric, yarn and thread is no secret! I can just about manage fluff and felt!

We have been chatting on email and Susan is lovely. Plus she has a dog so we are definitely going to be friends :-) Susan also has a 12 year old boy, hence M is the word!

Susan makes beautiful jewellery.
One of Susan's pieces from last year's party made from beads her partner Marina sent her. 
And this necklace that she made for another blogging challenge is
AWESOME! 

I am really looking forward to seeing what Susan creates from the soup I have sent her. She might need to put her sunglasses on when she opens the package as it is a bit bright... But after the long winter they have had in Canada I reckon this selection of spring colours will make her smile :-)

A BIG thank you once again to the very lovely Lori and her very supportive family and friends who made this year's party possible. Lori has not been well at all. And many would have probably said, Let's take a break from BSBP this year. Not Lori. She has been typing away from her sick bed, matching up partners all over the world and fighting with spreadsheets.
Get well soon Lori, you really are a very special lady xx

Diary Date: 14 June 2015 - Meet Teresa Hodges at Stamford Arts Centre

Teresa Hodges: Lincolnshire based artist inspired by landscape & nature. "I've always most of all enjoyed painting landscapes, and especially trees;  I love the changing patterns made against the sky by the branches and leaves, and am always moved by the sight of an ancient dead tree in a green and vibrant setting. I also enjoy painting the small rather whimsical pictures that very often include one of my dogs, either past or present." Read More via Teresa Hodges « ESC Artists . I am one of the founders of   ESCartists   in collaboration with my artist friends Eve Marshall and Cathi Prince. Escartists is a new creative group planning an escape from the ordinary by organising Artist markets and exhibitions promoting extraordinary workmanship and talent.

Cabochons Made, no pictures yet :(

OK so I have made some cabochons now. Not 100% satisfied with them, but not too bad for a first attempt. I don't have pictures to show yet. I took some but the light wasn't too good and the focus was bad so they look like little coloured blobs. I am going to ask the expert - Dave - to take the photos for me and if he can do it today I will post them later this evening.
