May Beading Help Web Previews

I’m very excited about the Beading Help Web May news! First off, sneak preview of some ideas for Mother’s Day…from traditional name bracelets to engraved name beads from my new favorite vendor: Generation Gems…to cute personalized wire bookmarks and the best can’t-think-of-anything-else gift…get ready to celebrate with Mom!

Secondly, I had a blast interviewing lampwork artist Janet Crosby. While you are waiting for the interview to be published, check out her totally cool chicken beads. While my own chickens tend to chase me around the hen house (so I won’t go in there!) I love Janet’s hen and rooster beads!

Finally, May’s the perfect time to start thinking about graduation gifts, and prom and bridal jewelry. There are lots of great ideas on our free projects page, and I’m working on more every day. Tonight, I had a lot of fun creating this freshwater pearl choker with a drop pearl and Swarovski top-drilled crystal pendant. Wouldn’t it look great with a cream or green strapless dress?

That’s it for sneak peeks…look for full stories in May!
