Recipe for a Give-Away!

Color is brewing in my studio and the scent of 'Give-Away' is wafting through the air!

Here is a recipe for COLOR from my house to yours (read on for Give-Away details!):

Pour beads into large pot and stir. As the fire burns and cauldron bubbles... the new Seed Bead Medley line is up and running - a perfect complement to the projects in my upcoming book: BEADED COLORWAYS (but more on that, and how to enter to win a really cool Color Package, coming soon!).

Samples from Seed Bead Medley
[Harvest, Tropical Punch, Velvet Cloak, Antique Copper, Mossy Rock, Red Clay, Silver Sand, Tropical Surf, Golden Raspberry]

Add a dash of spice and new colorways simmer in my Bead Soup Collection.

Stir in even more color and bring to a boil. My new Fiber Bouquets will be ready to enjoy in time for Wander with Flair at Studio Beads (wouldn't they also be fun with fabric and photos in Wander Through Photos at Beads by Blanche?!). How could I stop at beads? These fiber bundles include 15 - 20 strands of delectable color, hand mixed to coordinate with, yes of course, my Bead Soup Collection.

You are invited over for a taste of color (I may even put you to work stirring!). Simply...

Enter a comment
and one special reader will win a
COLOR package

(1 each from the Bead Soup Collection, Seed Bead Medley and Fiber Bouquets)

Sample shown in:
Cardamom
Fiber Bouquet and Bead Soup Collection, Copper Penny Seed Bead Medley

Serve and enjoy with a beadweaving project (Instructions now available on-line).

The drawing will be next Sunday, November 1 - hope to see you!

  2. Hi Beverly, I'm so glad I've found you! I love color, beads and fiber also, and I find your blog so inspiring. Your beadwork is fabulous, and since I love freeform, right up my alley!
    I love the new colors of seed beads and bead soup, and the fiber bouquets are scumptious looking. Love that they all coordinate.

  5. Wow, Beverly, these are so beautiful!! I wish I was there so I could help--I'd LOVE to "cook stuff up" in the bead kitchen. (You do realize drool is not good for a keyboard, right?) Love the Spring Rain and the Harvest, but the Cardamom and Copper Penney are way cool, too--even for a blue/purple/aqua lover like me!

    "Eye for Color" will be here this next week and I can hardly wait. Will be waiting by the mailbox every day til it gets here.

  24. Hi Beverly. I just recently found your blog and I just love your jewelry. And all those colors are to die/dye for. I would love to be entered in the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I always find inspiration just from your colors alone when I come over here. It's interesting because sometimes it seems almost a more strong inspiration to look at something out of our usual scope. cool!

  26. Gorgeous color sets....I would love to enter your giveaway...
    Thanks so much.

    Hugz, D.

  29. ...then after the wonderful yarn packages, maybe your favorite clay artist could make a series of spectacular focal beads to go with the bead soups? And then, and then....

    Enjoy the ride! D.

  32. Ahhhhh fabulous! As a fellow color lover, free-form beader and free range knitter, I'm so glad to have found you, Beverly. I just placed an order for your "Eye for Color" and am looking forward to receiving it. Beautiful post!

  33. There's something so soothing about pouring beads into a pot and stirring them. Maybe it's the mixture of colors, or just the fact that there's so many pretty beads all in one place! I love the seed bead medleys, especially Tropical Surf!

    ReplyDelete
  34. As ever, the perfect hostess! Bead soup and fibre bouquets artfully presented and served with care - what a PERFECT combination! This is just the sort of thing that makes me love visiting your beautiful space :)

  35. I get a kick out of your color combinations. So lively and fresh. Keeps me coming back!

  36. The beauty of color just takes my breadth away. Once I think I've seen it, there comes a new color combo. Thanks for the inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Your colorway combinations are absolutely wonderful and very inspiring. I especially love the soft greens of the fall foliage combo, it's very elegant and soothing.....and so beautiful how you combine the beads with the fibers. Your colorful photos are always so inspirational, thanks for the eye candy!

  38. I feel really lucky to have found your site, then this blog. I'm new to beading and find your bold colours an inspiration. I hope someday I become half as good as you. I'm certainly looking forward to learning a trick or two here as i am a self taught bead weaver based in Italy with no beading community within reach.

  39. Wow! I just love the colors...they look so sumptious!
