Actually, to be fair, it arrived a week ago or so *hangs head*. I have only just now found time to attempt write my post. (vacation, kids... kids post vacation insanity...) But! Let us get to the good stuff... my wonderful partner for this challenge is Cynthia Riggs, if you don't follow her blog, you totally should! She is the sweetest lady! She and I have had a great time emailing back and forth learning about each other :) Cynthia is one of those amazing people who does enameling! I think enameling is just beautiful, so believe me, I was over the moon when I got her package!
The whole bowl of soup!
Vintaj clasp, Cynthia added the red beads to the toggle bar!
Vintage Czech glass beads (red) and how cute are the green tear drops??
Blue Glass Beads
Enameled Beads and End Caps
Enameled Key Charms and Connectors
Furnace Glass
And the to die for focal! Isn't it incredible?!
I am so excited and I can't wait for Cynthia to show you what I sent, I (being the space cadet I am lately) forgot to take a picture before I sent it... *facepalm*
I can't wait to get started with these goodies... now if only the children would cooperate and give me time! Our blog review is the third one, to give me more time lol, on August 25th! Here is a link so you can check out the other reveal dates and participants... not to mention what the party is about if you don't know :)
check it out on August 25th
So there you go! There is my soup :) I need to upload my vacation pics so you guys can see! I am hoping a few of them may inspire some pieces for the shop.... and I've been working on a piece using my Marsha Neal's Challenge palette... Here are a few of my latest pieces in general:
Jenn, Your photos are fabulous. I think I'll hire you to photograph all my enameled flowers!! Can't wait to see what you make. Cynthia
ReplyDeleteCynthia's enameled flower is fantastic! I look forward to seeing what you make.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love enamelled work also so I am jealous of your lovely goodies :-) i'm on your reveal date too so I'll look forward to seeing what you create.
ReplyDeleteI just saw HER picture of the soup she sent you and loved it there. . .your pictures show a bit more of the soup and I still love it. It's so bright and cheery. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun playing with this mix.
