Metal Seed Bead Launch

Seed beads for kumihimo

I am just putting the finishing touches to my designs for the morning show on Jewellery Maker. I am really excited to have been asked to take part in this show because it is the launch of Metal Seed Beads on Jewellery Maker.  I have been given a great selection of these fabulous beads as well as some stunning gemstones and all I need to do is design the jewellery. It is really not hard when you have the right materials and I have enjoyed the process enormously. The pictures are meant to be a little tease because I don’t want to give too much away. The tassels are an indication that I have been given some very special stones to work with. Obviously seed beads are familiar territory for me, so the challenge for me is to come up with designs which both show off the potential of metal seed beads and also show how they can be used to enhance and compliment natural gemstones. You will have to watch the morning show on Tuesday 24th, 9am to 1pm, to decide if I have succeeded!
