I was very excited to get my email from Lori Anderson last weekend, letting me know my partner for the Bead Soup Blog Party. I have been paired with Marina Dobrynina, a Russian beader living near Paris. Our reveal date is the third of the three scheduled party dates—August 25—which leaves plenty of time for parcels of beads to make their way across the world.
Marina makes the most gorgeous felted beads and jewellery, each felted bead is a tiny work of art! Like this and this! And here is what she made for the two Bead Soup Blog Parties she has participated in previously.
She also makes very pretty soaps, which I imagine smell absolutely divine! Have a look at her blog Savon Feutré (felted soaps), it showcases both her soaps and her jewellery/beads.
I’ve finished my bead soup for Marina, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A smidgeon of Aussie flavours, amongst an international cast of beads. I’ll be sending it off on Monday, hope it doesn’t take too long to get to France! Once she has it I will be able to show you what I put together.

I love her felt beads. They make those a lot in Iceland. I bought a felted bead necklace when I was there.
