The Colors of India Bead Tour was a lot of fun. Nealay filmed three stops on the tour. He filmed a live Facebook video on Tuesday, July 2 at the SilverSilk and More Facebook page. On Tuesday, July 9, he filmed his second live video at the Soft Flex Company Facebook page. He wrapped up his tour on the Jesse James Facebook page on Tuesday, July 16. Each live video contained a jewelry demonstration and a giveaway.
Colors of India Bead Tour Project 1
Nealay was discussing business with Sara Oehler and Sarah James and they touched on the subject of doing a social media beading tour. The result of this discussion was the Colors of India Mystery Kit. Nealay was live on the SilverSilk Facebook page on the first stop of the tour to create stunning a bolo necklace with pearlesque chain.
