I'd like to thank a few designers who used my beads in the current issue of Stringing magazine.
Stringing
is my all time favorite magazine and I never miss an issue. It's a great resource for finding new bead artists, seeing what's on trend, there are always design articles and of course, the beautiful jewelry creations for inspiration.
In his featured article on Stringing Shortcuts, Andrew Thornton used one of my nest pendants in a clever design. Andrew paired it with another ceramic art bead and silk ribbon, so simple and so lovely. I'm always honored when Andrew does his design magic with one of my beads. You all have Andrew's blog on your reading list, right? If not, check it out
here. And he also has a
shop that you should see. And like I need to tell you, but he is part of the
Green Girl Studios family so I will include them here too. Andrew has paired up to teach Capturing the Moment Workshops with Kate McKinnon, what an experience that would be! You can read more about their event
here.
Jamie Hogsett created a bracelet with my teal egg and disk beads. They were paired up with a bird clasp from Green Girl Studios and an Earthenwood Studio nest charm - such a sweet combination. She also has a pair of earrings using my disk beads as the accents for Heather Wynn's Chit Chat bird charms - I love them. Jamie is the education coordinator for Soft Flex. Her work has been seen in countless issues of Stringing & Beadwork magazine along with several Interweave books. You can learn more about Jamie's work on her
website.
Beads featured in the magazine are available on my website:
Nest Pendant,
Teal Eggs,
Teal Disk Beads.
Be sure to pick up the spring issue of Stringing for a shot of creative inspiration!
