Designer of The Week; Sparkle Bead Jeweled

Each Monday the Art Bead Scene features a Designer of the Week. One of our editors picks her favorite from the Monthly Challenge entries.

This week's featured designer is Sparkle Bead Jeweled !


This is what Art Bead Scene editor Jennifer Heynen said about Christine's ring.

This ring goes perfectly with this month's impressionist theme. The colors, the small seed bead details, and the polymer clay rose all embody the Edward Vuillard painting. Great work Christine!

Featured Designer of the Week: Staci Louise

Each Monday the Art Bead Scene features a Designer of the Week. One of our editors picks her favorite from the Monthly Challenge entries.

This week's featured designer is Staci Louise!

Here is what ABS Editor, Heather Powers, has to say about the chosen designs:

"I love the sense of movement in this piece.  It definitely captures the mood of rushing water.  The color palette is spot on from the challenge painting.  I love the focal pendant, Staci's bronze work is so awesome! A little detail that caught my attention is the adjustable length with the clasp able to grab onto any part of the chain - very clever."

Designer of the Week

Each Monday Art Bead Scene features a Designer of the Week. One of our editors picks her favorite from the Monthly Challenge entries. 

This week's featured designer is Jen Judd Rocks!

Here is what ABS Editor, Lori Anderson, has to say about the chosen designs:

One of the things that immediately struck me was Jen's use of texture.  Texture captures the senses and begs to be touched.  

The lampwork beads by Julsbeads, HMB Studios, and Donna Millard all pick up the colors of "Ophelia", particularly the beautiful ribbed rounds, which look like the painting itself.  I also like how Jen chose to use just a hint of yellow, as yellow is such a strong color it can easily overpower a design.

What can I say?  I love it all and would wear it all with pride!
