New Work from the ABS Team

 I thought I'd end the week by sharing new work from the ABS team!  Visit their shops to see all that is new!

Erin of Tesori Trovati has designed her own stamps to create a new line of Simple Truths pendants. 

I recently re-launched my Humblebeads website filled all sorts of goodies, including the Day Lily pendant shown here.

Kerry Bogert has been sneaking time in her studio to create new lampwork beads like these lovely hollow glass creations.

Marie from More Skye Jewels has launched a new line of pendants and toggles like the one seen here.

Rebecca has been stocking her new Curious Bead Shop with all sorts of glass beads and handcrafted findings like the ceramic clasps that are a collaboration between her and a ceramic bead artist.

Gaea is always creating something new and I absolutely love these faux bois pendants and bead sets.

Tari of Clay Buttons has been so busy behind the scenes of the ABS but she keeps a stead client of button lovers very happy!  The Lotus are one of my favs, you can have them made as pendants with a hole at the top or use these for the closure on a bracelet.

 

My very talented designer friends have been as busy as bees on a warm spring day.  Ms. Brandi Hussey has recently released a new ebook on Editing For Your Shop, learn her savvy techniques for touching up your photos.

Erin Siegel is a regular contributor to Ornamentea's collection of free projects.  She just came out with these Day Glo Earrings that are oh so trendy using Elain Ray ceramic beads!

Bead News

Here are some random pieces of Beady News to take note of this week:

Bead Star Auctions - 100% of the proceeds go to the American Heart Association.  You can purchase one of the designs featured in this year's magazine. 

Also, don't forget to enter Bead Star this year for your chance to win!

Rings & Things - The road show is once again touring the country with those beady rock stars.  I will be checking out the one in San Antonio this weekend!  Here is a list of all the dates.  Throw a bead soup party when the show rolls into your town.

Ornamentea - On the 25-26, they are hosting a trunk show with Elaine Ray and a class on Designing Without Limits with Lorelei Eurto, so if you are in that neck of the woods (Raleigh, North Carolina) be sure to check them out.

Art Bead Scene Parade

I've created a new Flickr group for beadmakers called the Art Bead Scene Parade.  You guys create such amazing work and so often, I can't keep up!  So make it easy on me by submitting quality photos of your latest art beads & handmade findings and you may end up featured here on the ABS.  Show me your best!
