Soup du Jour: Bead Surprise!

This is too intriguing to pass up!

Lori Anderson of Pretty Things is hosting another successful Bead Soup Blog Party!  Open to international beading bloggers, it's a chance to get to know some of your fellow beaders, bloggers and shop owners for new favourites and inspiration!  Once you sign up and you're matched with your "Party Partner," you'll put together a "Party Pack," consisting of: 

• A focal piece
• Coordinating spacers or beads
• A special clasp (lobster clasp excluded!)

"The idea is you will use the focal and the clasp, and some of the coordinating beads, incorporating beads from your own stash," says Lori on her blog.  The idea is to help you think outside the box and word outside your normal comfort zone, pushing you in directions you may have never gone."  A fantastic way to bring together a creative community while flexing some important creative muscles!  Check out some of the sample "Party Packs" others participants have received from previous Bead Soup Blog Parties.  I betcha those gears are turning already!
