March was National Craft Month. Did you participate? National Craft Month is a time to find inspiration, inspire others, and appreciate the JOY of making handmade art. It is easy to celebrate. You could visit a gallery or support a small art business. You could join an online group. You could also make your own art. We celebrated by hosting Joyful Beading on our VIB Facebook group. Joyful Beading is a calendar full of artistic prompts. Follow the calendar and you could get inspired to create your own stunning designs.

We gathered a small assortment of the Joyful Beading 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!
VIB is a great place to visit. It is an online bead gathering. It is a place to chat and meet new friends. It is a great way to stay social. You can learn a new tip or technique daily. You can get inspired by the gorgeous jewelry designs other people in the community post. You can also get your own jewelry gently critiqued if you want pointers on how to make your designs really stand out. We love wallflowers and chatty designers alike. Lurk or showcase your talent. You are going to love our fun club.
If you would like to see more Joyful Beading jewelry, go to our VIB group. In the 'Search this group' field (or magnifying glass icon on the upper right), type or paste this: #joyful. This will search the themed designs we hash tagged.
