Good Wednesday to you lovely people! Today we have a fun  blog. We are featuring designs from one of our jewelry design kits, the April Showers Design Kit. We have collected some work from two of our staff members, Sara and Kristen. And we have gathered a bunch of fun pictures from members of our Facebook group – VIB. This kit was so much fun. The colors are perfect for a rainy day but also look so elegant and happy. 

If you have not joined our  Facebook group yet, do so! We would love to have you. Our VIB group is full of talented  jewelry designers and crafty folk. We love to foster the spirit of acceptance and inspiration. There are always lively discussions about the beading and the craft. There are giveaways and stuff you will not find any where else. We love active participants but do not require you to chat. If you do feel chatty or would like to hear some opinions about your  Soft Flex strung jewelry, you can post your images and get feedback.

Sara Oehler Designs

Don't miss our  Design Kits. They are a themed collection of  beads, components, and beading wire. If you have the  tools, a single design kit is all you need to create a bunch of lovely  jewelry. Everything you need is inside. 

Our  gallery staff put the Design Kits together. They take a theme and run with it. Last month, we celebrated our matriarchs. The Mom Rocks Design Kit was a fun collection. This month, we are featuring the Shades of Coral Design Kit. All of our kits are unique and are not sold elsewhere. If you would like to purchase a kit, we release new ones towards the end of each month. Quantities are very limited, so make sure you grab one quick!

Kristen Fagan Designs

If you miss out on one our jewelry  Design Kits, there is still hope. We often follow up with Trios Beading Wire Packs and Bead Mixes that share the theme of the Design Kits. This is a good way to grab some of the fun of the Design Kit or enhance the Design Kit you purchased. 

This month, you can find a Mom Rocks Trios and a Mom Rocks Bead Mix that celebrate the Mom Rocks Design Kit.  Trios are a package of three spools of beading wire. Each spool is ten feet in length. The selected colors match the color scheme and fun of the respective  Design Kit. Our Bead Mixes were part of the Design Kits they take their name from. We have extra inventory to sell separately to anybody that missed the kit or would just like to add to their kits. Don't miss out!

VIB Group Member Designs

We gathered a small assortment of fun designs from our  VIB Facebook group. There were so many wonderful ideas and jewelry pieces. You really need to join our group to see them all. A lot of our members also have stores online. If you see a design you love, make sure you let the designer know. They may sell you that design or at least let you know how they made it. We would love to see your work too, join us today!
