...in my kitchen, dining room, living room, studio and every available horizontal surface in our house! Above is a sneak peek at the new soups I'm packing up for the Art & Soul and Bead & Button shows. (You can see more of my Bead Soup Collection on my website)
Lots and lots of soup to ship out to Virginia tomorrow. Hope to see you at Vendor Night!
Last weekend a gaggle of my fabulous girlfriends came by to help assemble more Eye For Color books. We set up a 'sweat shop' on the main floor and pumped out books over 2 days amongst lots of stories, laughs, wine, corn chowder and Sherri's famous double chocolate brownies. Thank you Anne Ryan, Jacki von Allmen, Jackie Maclin, Sherri Lynn, Joie Moring, Susan Leonhardt, Brandon Gilbert and especially my dear, sweet hubby - Jerry!
While we snapped in color wheels, the gang of kids made a camp outside complete with fishing poles hanging off of the play system, and tents made from old blue tarps. Looked a bit like 'tent city' in our backyard...
Morgan and Brandon convinced Jerry to build a bonfire in the firepit, we roasted hot dogs and s'mores and the boys camped outside under the stars (yep - it turned to rain in the middle of the night!).
Great post Beverly! The bead soups look good enough to eat. How do you make those 9 view images?? I love them. Also the kids and the tents etc.....makes the whole weekend sound like a real happening.

Oh, bead soup is fast becoming my favourite flavour! Delicious. Although there's obviously hard work going on over there, it looks like fun was had too.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that perfect weather turns to rain at the sight of a tent I wonder? One of the mysteries of the universe. :o)
Hey you guys did you saved me some hotdogs? NOT! Then please send some over. B. your soups looks delicous, and you've got quite some work done with the gals. Miss you lots.
ReplyDeleteWow, love these bead soups. Gorgeous colors.
ReplyDeleteLovely bead soups. It looks like a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteI love beadsoups and have made them for years but never put large beads inside because I use them for embroidery.
ReplyDeleteYours are another inspiration entirely and I am sure you all had lots of fun having the "workshop"!
Can one ask for Sherri's double chocolate brownie recipe??? Feel like something decadent to munch!
Oh my gosh-how fun (and busy!). How do you even have time to comment?! Wish I could have been there to help. Have a fun and successful time at Hampton!
ReplyDeleteExquisite beads; and lovely image of the fire
