Sweet Bead Studio Blog
Dare to Dream
I’m still partying on here… making my way through the Bead Soup Party blogs. I hear I’m not the only one still making the rounds! I’m not in a rush…enjoying the journey through so many beautiful blogs and admiring the tremendous talent that I have found. Thank you to all who have stopped by and left such sweet comments – your feedback was so fun to read.
I have a new piece to show – something to brighten up a dreary Winter day. Do you like my photo set up? ….my props propped in the snow! I prefer natural lighting so I made do, placing my vintage journal on a ziploc bag and I was good to go. I had fun riveting again, adding a handstamped focal link to lampwork beads (mainly by Kim Typanski – Kim, won’t you return to making glass beads?).
Sold, Thank You!
Have a great day!

The bracelet is beautiful…I love sayings or a sentiment in a piece of jewelry, it just makes it so special.
Yet again, another beautiful piece! The snow really must have gotten your creative flowing! I love the riveting! Gorgeous! I’m having such a good time looking at everyone’s designs! The swap looks like such a good time!
Congratulations on your sale!!! I can see how it went so fast because it’s just STUNNING-I actually prefer natural light too so I think that’s a great idea to picture your pieces in the snow 🙂
I REALLY want one of those “Dare To Dream” bits!
Great “staging” with the 2 books complimenting the colors of the bracelet! Wonderful idea to use the snow also!
Such a pretty and happy bracelet, I want one!
You’re right such happy colors. As always that is one fabulous bracelet! I’m still browsing the “party” blogs too. Lots of great work.
