Summer Days & Summer Nights Reveal!

Creative Spark Summer 2014
   
Creative Spark Summer 2014 ezine is ready for viewing!  ZnetShows has once again hosted a great challenge.  Each designer had to create jewelry designs for day and night. So many talented designers and so much eye candy and inspiration.   By the way, I think cultured sea glass is my new favorite bead! Thank you ZnetShows and Hope for providing the beads and a place to showcase our jewelry designs.

 Here are a few designs I completed after the deadline and are not in the online magazine:







Yes, yes, I know....I really love green!

    I love green too...and all your creations! Both in and out of the magazine. Love that ribbon and the long, graduated metal pieces on the earrings. I especially love your use of waxed linen in this bracelet and the gorgeous necklace with all the rounds and chips in the magazine. (That might be my favorite.) I also think the pendant you made by wiring together the blue rings is so clever and pretty. And the glass rings on leather for bracelets are great. I love the use of fibers with the glass. All really great!

    Oh, I like that you showed off what else you created!! The green pieces are great, but that red bracelet is so cool. Wonderful work, Renetha!

    Nice work Renetha, love that you made even more than the challenge required. I might have to dig back into my stash too. :-D

    I am very partial to the bracelets. They are so in. Clever how you connected the red sea glass beads in your bracelet.

    Your bracelets are great! I also like the elongated pair of green earrings. I'd better get busy and finish up with more of my beads :) Christie

    Hi Renetha You created wonderful designs. I like the first bracelet and both pair of green earrings. I also really like the red bracelet with the twisted silver spacers. Great job.

BSBP#8: The Big Reveal

Right to the good stuff..... Made with Rhonda's beaded bead, crystals, and agate rondelles. Made with Rhonda's (she made it) clasp and lampwork focal. Bracelet made with brown rainbow bugle beads supplied by Rhonda. Bracelet is based on a tutorial, Toskana by SeeBead .  I used Czech twins instead of tila or tile beads.  I didn't have enough tile beads so the twins made a wonderful substitution. Soup I started with. Thank you Lori for hosting a wonderful 8th swap and blog hop!  Thank you Rhonda for a most enjoyable soup!  To see other simmering soups and creations visit the BSBP blog for the list of participants (about 500)!

Problem: Northridge Publishing Company (Bead Trends Magazine)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I was a long time reader of Bead Trends Magazine .  It was a publication filled with beautiful handmade jewelry and inspiration.  But now the not so beautiful side to Northridge Publishing Company.   Bead Trends last issue was for July.  I don't know about anyone else, but Northridge Publishing Company did not notify me that the magazine would no longer be published. I used my credit card to set up monthly transactions for the magazine. Evidence of Bead Trends disappeared from all social media outlets.  So I went to the website and deleted my credit card information.  Charges continued to show up on my statement for August, September, and October.  If a charge shows up for November....... I contacted Northridge Publishing Company several times via their chat room.  No response.  I sent two emails.  Finally today, I received an email from their customer service.

7th Bead Soup Blog Party: 1st Reveal!!!

Here is a pic of my final design for the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party , hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things.  It was a lot of fun, and I still have about 50% of party goer blogs to visit. Last minute additions:  Working with leftover soup!  Bracelet made with gorgeous teal agates.  I love the clasp.  I didn't know it was a clasp until it stuck to some metal chain.  Investigating further, I found it was a magnetic clasp.  How cool is that?  Jayashree sent me a wonderful soup.  Believe it or not, I still have more soup!  Stay tuned for more. Now, what to do with the brass stampings..... Just added a few swarovski pearls and walla!  Dangle earrings! Now it is time for me to show off some of what I made with the bead soup from Jayashree Paramesh, Nchantme . The funny thing is, I am not done yet.  I have soup leftover.  I will post more, if I have time. Don't forget to stop by Jayashree...
