Etsy Inspiration: Feeling Blue

With the emphasis on blue this month, I created two treasuries to show some options to consider for your creations this month. Can we get to 200 bracelets? Will there be that many submissions for the end of the month blog tour? Whew! That is a lot but I am up to the challenge if you are! So get crackin' with these bluesy treasuries as your guide.

First up... supplies: beads, cord, ribbon, clasps. All with a blue and harlequin twist.

Very nice treasuries. ParadoxArtGlass was a new discovery for me. Lots of interesting components -- including one with cats, yay! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much, Erin. You've pulled together a great collection of design inspiration for this month's challenge. Especially love the harlequin patterned beads.

Two items struck me at first glance, the most stricking was Jadjusjewelry beads and also the drum like mother of pearl beads from AbundantEarthSupply. Of course the more I look the more the others are looking beautiful too.
Great Selections.
