Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party is underway with the first reveal this weekend! My friend Tanya of Fusion Muse created a beautiful web page of everyone's jewelry designs if you'd like to take a look at the jewelry and revisit all the stores, and of course here are the BLOGS themselves to hop if you'd like to savor the posts and comment on the designs. I'm doing both. I love the way the reveals are all organized by Tanya (an act of love) and I really love seeing the blogs and moving from partner to partner.
The Bead Soup Blog Hop Party -- and so many of Lori Anderson's bead swaps, Cup of Soups, and jewelry challenges -- are a great way to make friends, learn as a jewelry artisan, and have fun. I enjoy Lori's group on Facebook, The Bead Soup Cafe and recommend the Jewel School community of experts and new artists join in! The group is an excellent way to learn about new artisan's work to use handcrafted with handcrafted, but more on using handcrafted with handcrafted later. For now, look for the image above on Lori's page and you'll find the list of all the participants in the first reveal enjoy the Bead Party!
Big Hugs, TJ
