Pretty Palettes - July Reveal It's time for the July "Pretty Palettes" reveal!   Erin Prais-Hintz reports that on June 22nd there was a forecast that solar flares on the sun would produce some amazing nighttime light shows, commonly referred to as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis .  So our inspiration for the month of July is this beautiful photo captured by Norwegian photographer Frank Olsen . Here is the Bead Gallery® bead palette I chose for my Aurora fringe design.  All beads and supplies can be purchased at your local Michaels store . 10264577 - Citrine stone nuggets luster 10322266 - Hematite multi rectangle 2x4mm stone 10393347 - Multi luster hematite stone 10322268 - Hematite stone matte square 2x4mm  I love the luster of these beads.  They bring to mind what a nighttime Northern Lights show might look like. I used Bead Landing antique gold tone eye pins, head pins, jump rings and clasp.  ...

Bead Trends Magazine September 2010 Where has September gone?  I have been so busy designing & getting the kids back to school that I have not had a chance to update my blog.  "Frondescence Parure" is my September contribution to Bead Trends magazine .  The Parure features a Vintaj brass necklace, bracelet, earrings and ring.  Many of the beads used in this set can be purchased at Michaels .  I have been designing for Halcraft USA .  You may have seen their fabulous beads " Bead Gallery " lining the walls at your local Michaels store.  Halcraft manufactures only the highest quality beads at a reasonable price.  Next time you are in Michaels be sure to check out the "Bead Gallery" beads.
