My Soup Arrived!

Well, actually it arrived last weekend but this is the way things get posted around here - in a relaxed way!  
Here are some pictures of the awesome beads I received from my partner, Denise Petersen of Reinvented Objects. 

 Look at that color palette - one of my favorite - blues and blue-greens and bronzey colors.  Pearls and pyrite and vintage glass and little lampwork beads and sea glass and tiger's eye and handmade components.

**These pieces were made by Denise Petersen.
I told Denise that there are two things I would love to learn to do - soldering and resin - and she does them both.  Aren't the key and compass cool?  It looks the key has been on the piece of metal so long that they "melted" together.  (And she does some resin work - look at her website - there are some really pretty hearts on it!)
Now I just have to get to making something...   I have some ideas, just need to take the time to make them!
