And then I found Green Girl Studios beads and created my first art bead piece, a necklace for my sister featuring an overload of Green Girl Studios beads!! She was so happy with it! And since then I've discovered so many more art bead artists, and I love them all!

So I love pottery girl and spirited earth, However to tell my story, I would have to choose Stacie Lousie's bezeled sea glass. My etsy shops name is The Whispering Seas because I have been blessed to live near the water since I was five and this is where I find my sense of relaxation. In fact, my first piece of jewelry I made about 3 years ago was with sea glass. Last summer I was visiting a local sea glass show and saw this wonderful booth with gorgeous pieces. Immediately I recognized the work that I had happened upon on etsy. I ended up buying the sea glass bracelet off of Stacie's arm. Since then, I have purchased several of her components. I just finished a moon/sun necklace with one of her clay beads. It is completely different from my norm, but that's what art is all about pushing yourself to create the something new.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945494264488731306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-31730878581475930172012-05-12T12:43:02.431-04:002012-05-12T12:43:02.431-04:00wow--tough one.

First on my list would have to be your Simple Truths pendants. Your great words of wisdom, or customizing our own special quote, for gift-giving or wearing it proudly is unique and fun when taken one step further with our own designs.<br />2. Green Girl studios with their double-sided charms create meaningful pieces.<br />3. Marsh Neal Studio has an abundance of designs and color choices for everyone.<br />4. Humble beads for fun nature themes.<br />5. Joan Miller Porcelain has creative and whimsical pieces too.<br />6. Beads of Clay is an amazing group of artists.

It's been a lot of fun playing along with all the twists and turns. <br /><br />Your Simple Truths are always gorgeous and of course I'd love to be a winner. To answer your question, I can't seem to get enough of art beads and components, whether they are lampwork, polymer, or metal components. Together they help tell a story for me. But to choose just one artist....well I'm not sure I can because there are just to many. So my answer would be all of them!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-90424774935805859622012-05-12T08:27:38.882-04:002012-05-12T08:27:38.882-04:00Hi Erin,
