Plug Ur Budz: Studio Saturday

I love to plug my budz over at Art Bead Scene - see which commenter won from my post on color last week and see what one of the ABS Editors is up to this week! In the meantime, I'll be out in my studio.....

Favorites: The Trendy Bead

I'm loving The Trendy Bead feature over at Art Bead Scene. ABS Editor, Heather Powers, tracks the trends in the fashion accessories world and suggests ways to incorporate them into your beads and jewelry. Here's this week's trend using my Bling Links in Ivory.

Plug Ur Bud: Heather of Humblebeads

I've got awesome beadmaking friends! I created the "Plug Ur Bud" post just to brag about them! Heather makes awesome polymer clay art beads. Here's her newest creation, sea urchins. Cool huh? Even cooler is her necklace is the cover shot for BeadStyle magazine this month!

Whoo Hoo! Way to go, Heather! She's cool, huh?

Sorry, she's MY friend, you can't have her!

But you can have her beads.

Alternative Styles: Plug Ur Bud

Alternative Styles lends itself to amazing creativity in the beadmaking world. One of my beadmaking colleagues, Melanie of Earthenwood Studios took two full weeks in February to open her studio and show us her process towards creating her Steampunk line of beads. An in-depth look at what Steampunk is and great beads to boot! Surf on over there with a big cup of coffee so you can sit and enjoy the read!
