A Sense of Accomplishment

I put my package in the mail today for my Bead Soup Blog Party partner Niki Meiners.  My original focal met with an unfortunate demise, so I had to put on my thinking cap and decide what to send.  Of course, since I had everything else picked out it had to cooridinate.

I finally decided to create a focal with my own two hands using some components that I had received in my Muse box from B'Sue Boutiques.  A beautiful component was my starting point and I added a little bit of sparkle to it. 

I am excited to see what Niki is able to create with the items that I have put together for her.  BUT I will have to wait until September 17th just like everyone else.

Much Love,

Introducing...

my Bead Soup Blog Party partner, the beautiful and talented Niki Meiners.

I am so excited to be partnered with Niki for the BSBP.  Niki is the owner of the 365 Days of Crafts multi-media blog.  Her work has been featured in the industries leading publications and manufacturers’ websites and it can be viewed at nikimeiners.wordpress.com and on Examiner.com as the Wilmington, NC Arts and Crafts Examiner.

Niki works in just about every medium, except for yarn (but she does crochet wire).  She is originally from Cincinatti, OH, but currently lives in North Carolina.  She told me that she loves living on the coast and feels that the laid back lifestyle has improved her creativity.  

Here are a few examples of her work.

Molded Polymer Clay Earrings

Mixed Medium Creation

Stencilled Whimsical Wall Art

I am excited to see what she sends me in my bead package especially since she works with a variety of mediums.  I hope that what she sends will nudge me a little bit into the unknown.  I have already selected the items that I will be sending her, and cannot wait to see what she puts together with them. 

Take a little time to visit her blogs using the links above and get to know more about her.  Don't forget to check back on Sept. 17th for the big reveal.

Much Love,

Shell
