Well! Now that partners have been partnered for the biannual Bead Soup Blog Party, I can get a belated start to August's Cup of Bead Soup project with Lutka and Co. You can read more about the Cup of Bead Soup project by clicking here.
I received a lovely assortment of handmade lampwork glass, and you probably already know how much I love handmade glass! Take a look....

I already have an idea for the top left beads -- they're nice and large, and if the idea in my brain comes through, I'll be making something really cool, and functional rather than wearable jewelry. If my idea doesn't work, I'm going to be so disappointed with myself!
Don't you love the vessel in the bottom left? Like a sweet little perfume bottle. And those purple flowers! I feel like planting them. And finally, the upper left -- those beg to become a charm bracelet. But who knows?

I love lampwork bead too, and I have a large selection to show for it. I tend to hoard them, taking them out to gaze at them from time to time. I guess I should not be so selfish, and actually make something with them for others to enjoy their beauty.
I can't wait to see what you make with these!
LOVE those purple flowers!
LOVE the purple flowers...beyond amazing!!!!
I love the lamp worked glass beads so beautiful. Have fun I know whatever you come up with will be gorgeous.

Oh, my heavens, each and every set was more fabulous than the other! The top right beads initially made me gasp (startled my husband), but then I realized I really love the vessel the most. No, the flowers. No, the beautiful pinks...Aw heck, they're all yummy!! Can't wait to see what you turn them into!
oh everything isvery nice Lori and I do love that vessel, that is simply stunning
I too love the flowers, everything else is really great too. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Love love those lower right hand beads. They remind me of my grandmothers african violets. Be Blessed to be a blessing
All of them were puurrrty.
PD
Linda really does magic. Can't wait for your pieces!
All of those beads are really beautiful but the purple and green in bottom right is spot on with my fvourite colour combination. These should be very nice to work with.
What beautiful beads, I can never seem to find such nice sculptured ones the flowers are gorgeous.

Those are so beautiful!!!!
Now I am extremely curious about your big plans for the large ones.
The top left beads would make an awesome beaded purse handle!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PURPLE FLOWERS!!!!!
