Hello!<\/h3>\n

Today I have a little something to share – a project made for the Kalmbach Bead Soup Party. \u00a0As you may know, Kalmbach <\/a>is the publisher of Lori Anderson’s recently released book, Bead Soup<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em>I was happy to contribute jewelry designs to the book and had fun participating in the publisher’s party as well.<\/h3>\n

Bead stores across the U.S. contributed bead sets to the publisher and jewelry designers were randomly selected to participate. \u00a0I received a generous set of beads from Studio Baboo<\/a>, a bead store in Charlottesville VA. Coincidentally I’ve been to this great shop in person – on one of our family treks to visit the University of VA, where my brother attended medical school. \u00a0Never thought one day I’d be making a piece of jewelry sent to me by this bead store – just amazing how things turn out on the path of life.<\/h3>\n

My received a beautiful, Fall-colored bead soup with a stone (Jasper?) focal, crystals, seed beads, a golden toggle clasp and all sorts of pearls. \u00a0I used many of the beads and also added beads from my own stash.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I recently found the most incredible 1953 dress form while antiquing in Hagerstown, MD. \u00a0I have my husband to thank – and will share the story one of these days when I do a dress form blog hop. \u00a0I’ve been dreaming of doing one for some time – so stay tuned! \u00a0I dressed up the flat stone focal with a little sweetness factor – a few of my favorite carved mother of pearl roses and some wire wrapping. \u00a0I then went to town adding multiple strands of pearls in all sizes.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks, Kalmbach and Studio Baboo for this fun challenge! \u00a0Looking forward to seeing more of the Kalmbach Bead Soup creations on their FB page<\/a>!<\/h3>\n
