My Materials for the ZnetShows Summer Challenge

~If you haven't signed up for my GIVEAWAY, you totally should. Just go visit my 1000th post and leave a comment.~

Now that I'm FINALLY starting to get things/tasks squared away in the craft room/business department, I can get back to the fun part of being a jewelry designer - designing jewelry! Right now, I've got these Cultured Sea Glass Beads from ZnetShows.com spread across my workspace.

I'm working on their summer challenge of designing a day and an evening piece with the cultured sea glass. We were given the freedom to choose two of the many sea glass colors and were also sent an exciting array of other colors. I chose the Smoky Quartz and Opaque Blue Opal (below, though the opal blue just isn't coming through in my photos.)
I've got quite a few ideas rolling around, but nothing really solid yet. That's probably what I get for taking so long of a break from creating - inspiration overload. Now it's back to staring at these beauties and dreaming of what I can make them become. Shoot, maybe I can even get something made soon.

    I love the new free-form style donuts. I'm really excited about working with these. I have a few ideas, but they're on hold right now. Just finished the bead soup, and I have a piece to finish for Suburban girl studios waxed linen blog hop next weekend. Then I get to play with the sea glass. Yay!
