7th Bead Soup Blog Party -- 2nd REVEAL


It's here!

The 2nd reveal for the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party® has arrived!


Today, over 200 people
(out of a total of 541)
will show you what happens when beaders swap their stash.


This is a map of all the participants.  It takes hours to put something like this together, but to me, it's worth it, because it shows how something like a bead swap, joined with the internet, can create an amazing community.  And if you'd like to join in the Facebook community, click Bead Soup Cafe and be welcomed!

(Click for a larger view.)


Where does everyone come from?  Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kingdom of Bahrain, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Okinawa, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.


Out of all these countries, I've been to Austria, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Slovenia.  Pretty darned cool to think of my visits there while pinning this map!


Below is a list of this reveal's participants, including a special experiment I tried this year with Facebook.  My goal is to get people blogging, but not everyone has a blog.  With the major help of Tania Spivey, we organized a test group of 20 people who will be showing their designs on their Facebook pages.  The goal is to get them onto a blog by next year's BSBP and another group of not-quite-ready-for-blogging folks can join in.

  1. Also gives me more time to get my act together Lori - so don't whittle about it, as we say rahnd 'ere.
    As one whose sight is a tribute to the wonders of contact lens technology I can say with great feeling how sympathetic I am and how much also I hope things will start to get better really soon. You've had a really tough time lately - let yourself have some time for yourself.

  2. Hi Lori,
    I have always wanted to join a swap but was without a blog so I jumped in this year and finally set one up it's a learning experience but it's been fun !I was a bit shy about doing a swap didn't think my art jewelry would be as good as every one else's Bla ! Bla! Bla !but I wanted to join in it looked like so much fun and I love beads and enjoy reading other artist blogs that I just have to jump in. I have followed you for a long time I know you were having health difficulties and I had emailed you a couple of times since then I have learned that you are feeling better Thank God ! Anyways I would very much like to join your next blog hop. Take Care ! Stay Healthy & Happy !
    Debra
