The dog days of summer are here. We are right in the middle of the scorching season. This week we took refuge from the heat and sought comfort in the Twilight Sky. Take a walk under the stars and adorn yourself in a midnight canvas. We are getting creative with Ultimate Paints and making jewelry that radiates personality. Also, If you love a Beading Party, join us as we catch up with a inspirational designer and friend. We guarantee you are going to learn a new jewelry making tip. Let's shelter away from the sizzling summer and make some jewelry!
This week, Kristen showed us how to make wire wrapped earrings with beads from our Twilight Sky Curated Collection. Sara painted our Aloha Theme Wooden Jewelry Pop Outs and made a gorgeous pair of Twilight Sky inspired earrings and a necklace. We threw a Beading Party and celebrated with the owner of Beads to Live by - Cassandra Spicer. Cassandra had a design she wanted to share. This elegant project is easy to learn and looks absolutely gorgeous. We caught up with Kay Goss and enjoyed a jewelry demonstration with our Love is Love Bead Strand. Nealay Patel has a cute and elegant cactus inspired necklace idea. We took a color theory workshop with Marcie Creates.
