101 BNE
I also was lucky to be one of the designers in this year's 101 Bracelets, Necklaces, and Earrings presented by Beadwork Magazine I just have to say, I've never seen such a beautifully laid out publication in my life. It's art. I love all of the pieces in it as well as how beautifully they're displayed. When you get your copy, you can check out some of my work: Smoke and Mirror Earrings pg. 15 and 17; Golden Hearted Necklace pg. 20 and 23; A Twist of Lavender Bracelet pg. 110 and 113; and Strands of Cocoa Necklace pg. 119 and 121. I feel honored to be included in such a beautiful collection of art jewelry.

The Bead Place will also have advertisements featured in upcoming Bead&Button Magazines and will have more projects in various jewelry magazines this year.  We thank you for your support and for sharing in our excitement!
