  3. It is interesting to see all the different designs made with exactly the same beads. I won't even try to pick a favorite one because they are all favorites in their own way!!

    good job everyone!!

  4. I too am struck by how each person's designs are totally different than the others. When artists speak of "finding your voice", this is exactly what is meant. So cool!

  5. Beautiful beads! I love the see the outcome when you have the artist's bead creations combined with the jewelry designer's vision of the completed piece. It's the meshing of the two creative forces that I find fascinating.
