This year my bead soup partner really stretched my creativity.
Nancy Olliver, better know as "The Mosaic Mermaid, sent me a box of beads, broken China, and two bangles. The box was packed so nicely that it took two days before I tore into it.

I have to say I was a little scared to get started, and after a few emails to the queen of mosaic, I jumped in. Did I say that Nancy wrote the article "From Broken to Beautiful" in the Jewelry Affaire Magazine, Spring 2013.

| What a box of Treasures!!!!! |
First, I had to break the China into smaller pieces to go around the bracelet. I have to say it was like a puzzle making the China, beads, and broken jewelry onto the bracelet.
