YOU are some of the best designers around and I would love to see and share your artistic talents! I am especially interested in seeing beaded designs that help to create a beautiful holiday table. Placemats, napkin rings, wine glass charms and name tags are just a few ideas. If you have a great design you would like to share, email me personally at tatia@beadtrendsmag.com!
We are also looking to feature designs with these additional themes:
* Quick & Easy
* Fashion Favorites – Features designs from a variety of styles and mediums that can be a personal favorite or necessary staple in any wardrobe.
* Birthstones (Opal/Pink Tourmaline)
* Anything Goes – The beaded possibilities are endless and not just limited to jewelry. What about pillows, table runners, picture frames, lamps, clothing, candle collars, and home decor. This category can contain jewelry and a whole lot more!
* Handmade Beads – Whether polymer clay, PMC, or lampwork, artists make the most beautiful designs with handmade beads
* Wire Artistry – Designs that include wire wrapping
* Sentimental Favorites – Designs that contain sentimental elements from recycled pieces of family treasures, gift beads, or symbolic new found treasures. We want to see your designs and hear your stories.
* Earrings
