The Great Bead Extravaganza returned with an exciting Spring Fling theme. If you have never visited the world's biggest virtual bead show, don't worry, you can catch up on the fun on the official Facebook page. Simply click on Topics and then Presentations and you will find the presenters' videos. All of the jewelry making demonstrations are in one spot for easy reference. Watching the live shows is the best way to connect with the community and artists, but a replay is a great way to learn a new technique at your own pace. Let's make jewelry for spring!
Spring Fling is in full swing! The Great Bead Extravaganza was full of glowing beaded jewelry project ideas that are perfect for a garden party or a picnic in the park. Sara and Kristen had a lively jewelry demonstration for their TGBE presentation. Lots of organic seasonal colors and beautiful designs. Lavender Mystic showed us how to plan out a necklace design and then string it. Rosanna Brafford showed us how to make earrings using beads from our Pastel Party Design Kit (Sold Out). Deb, at Dahlia Designs, showed off a necklace she made with our Summer Rain Design Kit (Sold Out). Learn a new technique or two! Also, make sure you check out our blog next week when we visit some of the other designers from TGBE and see what they made with Soft Flex beading products.
