Congrats to Jackie!! She won my weekly Lark Books giveaway!! She will receive a brand new copy of 'Creative Native American Beading' by Theresa Flores Geary. Thanks so much for reading my blog, Jackie! Please stop by tomorrow for the announcement of my next giveaway.

Also, here's a quick photo of what I've been up to. I created a black bead soup by mixing several sizes of seed beads together in black, gold, and bronze. I don't do this very often, but when I do, it's always fun! My favourite beads in this mix are the black/gold Czech glass beads - I brought these home from the Czech Republic last year! As you can see, I started to bead around the outside edge of the shadow for my beaded military tank. I want to do a little more beadwork before I show you the entire piece, but here's a sneek peak:

I think this bead mix will add some visual interest!

Have you ever made bead soup before?
