Product of the Month!

Fall is creeping in, but with this 90 degree weather, it's hard to tell!  August's product of the month seems to overpower Mother Nature herself!  G-S Cement for bead stringing is amazing!  It holds beautifully, like Locktite, but unlike that type of Super Glue, it has a needle tip that helps direct the adhesive to the exact spot you need!  Less mess and more accuracy!

This is especially useful for illusion necklaces if you want to forego crimp beads for a more illusory effect!

Easy, elegant floating crystal necklace with FREE tutorial!

I found myself on curious.com one day looking at a tutorial on beaded crystal bracelets and ran across a tutorial by the O'Neil sisters.

Most jewelry works by hiding the wire in beads, but this one is a fast, simple necklace that actually emphasizes the beauty of the crystals by showcasing the wire as part of the necklace.  Really pretty!

Again, I can't emphasize how fast and easy this project is.  Go check it out: The O'Neil Sisters Floating Crystal Necklace Tutorial

I believe the first lesson is free when you sign up.

Nearly done!  This photo really shows the colors in the crystals.

Done!  So hard to get a good pic off crystal!
