Revealing My Soup

As you already know I've drawn Shannon VeVart (German), Miss Fickle Media.  I'm underscoring her sites so you can access them quickly.  Shannon is a great designer and has an outstanding on-line presence where you can purchase so many of the parts we use to create our designs.  She is au courant in her designs and supplies so how can you go wrong.

This is the soup she sent me to work with.  Are you kidding - I'm like over the top with this.  First, I love Melanie Brooks pieces.  I've been an admirer for years and have several things in my stash.  And what's not to love with what she matched that with - it's like pearl heaven.  To top all of that off she sent me a plethora of silver findings, links, earrings, and headpins - and, and, and....holey crap. 

Am I a lucky gal or what?

 

 

I don't think I'll put anything yellow with it - gosh I hate that kitchen counter.

 

If you need inspirations for your work you don't need to look far.  Shannon has many images online that will guide you through your own designs and processes.  Some times you just need a little eye candy to get you going.

There you go - check her out - you'll love what you see.



Bead Soup here we come....

First please let me introduce you to my partner - Shannon LeVart - Miss Fickle Media.

 

Wow - maybe I need a nice profile picture.  Isn't she a cutie?  Better than that, isn't she talented?  I hadn't realized it before but Shannon had at some point purchased lampwork/ ceramic beads from me.  I never much keep track of where the goodies are going and was shocked when I was checking out Shannon's images while I was collecting some links for this post and saw one of my hearts on this awesome necklace.

 

I was excited before - now I'm ecstatic.

 

My soup to Shannon went out a couple of days late.  Unexpectedly my happy little pregnant daughter decided to go into labor two weeks early and I had to dash off downstate for a few days.  I rectified this situation quickly when I got home and my soup went out in the mail today.  And what does my soup to Shannon look like....



 

 

That's all you get!  Actually, you are going to have to wait for Shannon's reveal because I was in such a hurry to make sure this got to the post office I never managed a photo of all of it.  LOL  I hate being late with things and this time it nearly drove me over the edge - hence you only get this photo of the package...sorry about that.  There is a glimpse here and there but it's packed from top to bottom with things.  In the spirit of not giving away to much - YET - and since Shannon is patiently awaiting this package I'm not going to show you any close-ups of what Shannon sent until this arrives in Missouri.

 

But let's take a peek, huh?

 

Nice wrap huh?  I love it - brown wrap - cleaver.

And inside....

 

 

No peeks beyond this until mine arrives but Gheeze Louise - Melanie Brooks goodies!!!!!

Holy - hit the jackpot.

 

Thanks Shannon.  I'm already teeming with ideas.
