About Bead Soup

Bead Soup is located in Savage MD. Since we opened our doors we have become known in the DC and Baltimore Metropolitan areas as a friendly whimsical store with a little bit of everything. We offer a full selection of seed beads, gemstones and agates beading supplies in addition to hosting classes and selling bead kits. Bead Soup not only offers premium beading classes, but instruction in needle felting, PMC and Shrinkets. Our guest instructors include local masters in their own medium, as well as nationally and internationally known bead designers and beading book authors! We often hold trunk shows with different artists to promote their work that might be in different mediums that we don’t normally have such as bead embroidery, metal work, resin cabochons and traveling bead shows.

He’s an awfully happy jack as we get ready for Halloween so hopefully you will make him all yours this Halloween season.

Our Bead Soup projects are always done with Miyuki beads and this black cat was created with five different size 11/0 Miyuki Delicas. The colors we used are located on the color chart so once you make your purchase you will find them there.

Our sample was created with 6lb Fireline and a size 10 beading needle. We did not experiment with other beading thread and/or needles so we are unsure of the outcome if you decide to use something other than what we used.

6lb Fireline or beading thread of your choice

Size 10 beading needle

The Brickers Group
Nov 25
The Brickers Group

This event is free

This group started off with the intentions of me having the ability to teach while running the store BUT after the December get together I realized that I am not able to do that so the scope of this group is a get together and not a 4 hour teaching session. I will teach and guide as much as I can and I will not ask others to teach while they are there to work on their own projects. My customers have always been generous with their time but they are not obligated to spend their time teaching.
