My 2015 Build A Line Design Line was “Adventures In The Sea” .. I selected that design line because of my love for the Ocean .. Here are a few of my necklaces from my beach line .. Words that describe this line are .. “Adventurous” .. “Resort” .. “Beach”.. “Cottage Chic” .. “Fun” .. “Vintage Classic” and “Romantic” ..
THE REVEAL …….
For this challenge I am taking a totally different direction .. I started a small Design Line in 2015 calling it “COUNTRY CHIC” .. I am expanding on this line for BALC 2016..
I have a good selection of chain, beads and of course B’sue components .. they are ready to go .. Let’s see how this COWGIRL will get her giddy up on ..
Supplies
We will be using Vogue Magazine as a learning tool and also for inspiration .. I’m also adding Cowboys Indians Magazine to my reading material .. so many beautiful pieces of jewelry and country trends in these 2 editions ..
Take a look at some of my 2015 Country Chic Designs .. Words that describe my Country Chic Line are .. “Country Chic” .. “Western Dazzle” .. “Country Girl” .. “Vintage Classic” .. “Romantic” ..
Who doesn’t LOVE the Eagles .. Rest In Peace .. Glenn Frey .. One of my all time favorites .. “Lyin Eyes”

I have been eagerly anticipating your reveal – now I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this line. Could it be better than last year? Is that even possible?
I said last year that I really love that first piece you created and the hard work you put into doing the embroidery – I still love it. I also absolutely adore the Sea theme you went with last year and I can see that same hard work and dedication there. That sea theme just stuck with me.
This year – Country chic?! It is sort of a 180* but at the same time – I love it. When I lived in Texas everyone bought country themed items and not just the tourists – EVERYONE. I think this line is going to do well for you and I can’t wait to see it!
