A small group of us were recently asked to design some jewelry for ZnetShows for the upcoming Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show. They sent out samples from their
new seal glass line, plus crystal beads and metal components. Everyone's beautiful jewelry pieces are up on Znet's
Facebook page and now we're waiting to see whose pieces will be chosen to go to the Big Show!
I want to say Thank You to Bill Zhang of Znet for giving me this opportunity!! I was having a hard time getting back to the bead table and this was the
perfect incentive - I really enjoyed doing this!!
I received a variety of seafoam, peridot and turquoise sea glass beads - so many pretty colors to work with!! I went to work immediately, since we only had about a week to get our designs photographed and posted on our blogs.
Please
take some time to visit all of the jewelry designers blogs and see what they
made. The designs are all unique and absolutely beautiful!! This will be a
tough decision for the Znet team!
GOOD LUCK to everyone involved!!
the Earrings
I made these 2 sets with a vintage chandelier crystal and my grandmothers pearls - these will be my interchangeable earrings!

I like them all. Caribbean dream is my favorite. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI think this was just Bill's way of reeling us all in. His sea glass is beautiful. I like what you did with your designs. I'm especially drawn to the Tribal look of Primitive. Lovely job.
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings - All the other designs are terrific too! Looks like you were very inspired!
ReplyDeleteGreat beach designs. Ready to pack a suitcase and your all set.
ReplyDeleteYUM...all of your designs are so pretty. Love your mix too, I think my favorite piece is the primitive...but I do like them all...very fun! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely pieces...I love the blues and greens, and you did so MUCH with the different beads!
ReplyDeleteThe Caribbean dream is beautiful! All of your pieces are so simple but with such great statements.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs...loving Caribbean Dream, and the earrings would be worn constantly. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely designs! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteLove all your designs, but I especially love the earrings you made.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs. The earrings and little beach bracelet are especially cute. But all very nicely done. I only got 4 pieces made with my samples in time, although I'm still working on a couple of designs/ideas. Just not in time for the show.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I love those star fish earrings!
ReplyDeleteLots of nice designs.
