We celebrated the Sundance Catalog and threw a beading party with our talented friends. The Sundance Catalog is a compilation of incredible artisan jewelry, clothing, and decorations for the home. If you love the colors of the American Southwest, you are going to fall in love with the collections inside. Some of the price points may be out of reach for us hungry creatives, but the catalog is an outstanding outlet for finding inspiration. Pick an item from the jewelry pages and you can find a way to make your own variation of that design. Check out our Sundance Inspired category if you would like to shop our beading supplies.
Our Live Sale is open for shopping! Click the image above to get taken to our new sales platform. Sale ends late Sunday night. You can register to shop here - Register. And download our app here - Soft Flex App.

We had a blast sharing time with these incredible jewelry designers. Let their innovative jewelry techniques guide your way to a new necklace or jewelry set. Or just sit back and enjoy the conversation! If you love these designs or simply want to support these visionary artists, make sure you visit their websites.
Kristen Fagan of Soft Flex Company
Kristen found a bracelet in the catalog that she loved. One side of the bracelet was all metal beads and the other side was leather cording. She decided to make her version of that bracelet with Soft Flex Beading Wire, metal beads, and supplies from our Sunset Splendor Design Kit. Her variation was completely different from the source but it turned out fantastic!
Abbi Berta of The Bead Place
Abbi took her inspiration from the Sundance website. The website is easy way to find a new project idea. Abbi fell in love with the turquoise jewelry she saw and decided to make her own design with turquoise dyed magnesite chips. If you would like to replicate her design, visit her site and buy the Southwest Sundancer Jumbo Inspiration Box.
Cynthia Thornton of Green Girl Studios
Cynthia was inspired to create a kit with leather, labradorite, metal spacers, and more. She wanted to make a mixed media design in the spirit of the Sundance Catalog. She also showed us a Sundance inspired design she created fifteen years ago. The Soft Flex and leather in her design are holding up nicely, even after a decade of wear.
Danielle Wickes of Danielle Wickes Jewelry
Danielle wanted simplicity and elegance. Her kit has a full spool of Soft Flex Beading Wire and a great selection of beads. She selected a cute little heart charm to add a special Sundance vibe. She wanted something that allowed for a lot of different designs. Make a stackable bracelet, make a necklace or make whatever speaks to you!
Deb Floros of Deb Luvs Jewelry
Deb opted to design with an orange pallette. Orange creamcicle is the order of the day! She took her inspiration from a bracelet she loved on the Sundance site. One side of the bracelet is a single strand and the other two stranded. The two sides are tied together with a metal component. In the end, she made her own signature design.
