Each mix comes in a 2"x2"x3/4" clear box stuffed full of seed beads, gems, pearls and other accent beads. My bead soups are created from at least 30 to 50 different seed bead types which I believe gives even monochromatic palettes a large depth of color and texture. Besides I love mixing beads together! Of course due to availability and my whims please expect some variability. Also, I am always playing with color and creating new palettes, so check back!
A special thank you to the wonderful women at Beads & Beyond (now Quiltworks NW) in Bellevue, WA for their help in pulling the thousands of seed bead tubes that go into my soups!

I have more colorways than those pictured! If you have a particular color in mind that you don't see, drop me a line. I will be making soups over the next few months in preparation for the Art & Soul Festival and Bead & Button Show, so check back soon for soups that are currently out of stock.
Please also note, I have tried to capture the color and texture of each mix, but these pictures are not exact and mixes change a little with time due to availability of beads. Come see them in person!
