Since you last heard from me here, I’ve been gathering goodies for those jewelry designs in my head.\u00a0 There are several new components and mediums that I wanted to try.\u00a0 When you are heavily engrossed (!) in the beading world like I am, it is quite\u00a0common to dream about that next bead you’d love to work with (even before you’re finished with your current project!).\u00a0 Now of course lampwork beads and sterling silver wire are my number one love…but silk knotting thread, hand cast beads, and beads made with Polymer Clay have been on my mind too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First up, I finally bought a bead set by a talented mixed media artist, Heather Powers of Humblebeads<\/a>.\u00a0 I have never worked with\u00a0beads made with Polymer Clay.\u00a0 Heather’s clay beads are so imaginative, and\u00a0her color combinations are just beautiful.\u00a0 This is an example of one of her spectacular bead sets.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next to join my bead stash are pendants from Green Girl Studios<\/a>.\u00a0 Green Girls Studios creates hand cast pewter pendants and beads that are oh so very popular by jewelry designers.\u00a0\u00a0 They have pendants of the most adorable mythical creatures, and the detail is amazing.\u00a0 I hope to add a new necklace to the shop tomorrow using one of their pieces.<\/p>\n

That’s a tiny glimpse into my creative space and what I found to be inspiring this week.\u00a0 Drop me a line and let me know what’s inspiring you<\/em>!<\/p>\n
