Bead Trends July 2010

A nice package was at my front door the other day, I was so excited to open it up and find the latest issue of Bead Trends, this marks my first publication with this magazine, I quickly searched to find a little piece of me on page 66..."Boho Chic".  There are so many wonderful wonderful ideas featured and a really great designer highlight on Marie-Noel Voyer-Cramp of Skye Jewels.

Boho Chic

Bohemian is used to convey an attitude and style that describes a free-spirited, independent frame of mind. Called Boho for short, the Bohemian look is earthy and layered. The best thing about the Bohemian look is that nothing has to "match." The pieces you choose should layer well and they work together to give you a classy, Boho chic appearance. Think ethnic. Think organic -- earthy colors and fabrics. Think relaxed. Think vintage.

This was a fun piece to make...the colors are so warm and vibrant at the same time. The brass embossed pendant is actually a part of an antique sash buckle....and you know how much I love combining the old with the new.
