A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT ME AND HOW I STARTED MY JEWELRY DESIGN BUSINESS ..

2015 me

I have been designing jewelry since 2006 .. I reconnected with a high school friend and she introduced me to Bead Embroidery .. I fell in love with all of those tiny beads immediately.  I have entered many shows and contest through out my journey and have walked away with several first place ribbons ..

Here is a picture of my very first Bead Embroidery Necklace .. Skulls Of The Caribbean .. I won a first place blue ribbon on this beauty .. Was I excited .. YES !!

Definitely I have grown and my direction has changed since introduced to B’sue .. Don’t get me wrong I still LOVE a great beading project ..

 

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 ..

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 ..

It’s a joy every week to see your collages and new designs, you certainly are a prolific jewelry maker! I know your work this year will just grow and bloom more and more as new doors and windows constantly open for you! And by the way….we are Eagles lovers here, too.

  23. Jann, what a pleasure to get a chance to tell you that I think you’ve picked a glorious theme, which is going to be awesome. We’ve been creating together for some time now and I must say, your designs are evolving into a class of their own. Everything you’ve posted lately has been blowing me away. I so look forward to seeing what happens with your theme. It is going to rock!

  25. Oh Jann – that’s an EXCELLENT idea to use other magazines for reference images! I’ve been pulling from different websites, and contemplating other visual resources for fairies, but never thought to mention them! Great post. I can’t wait to see what you add to the line!

  30. Thanks for sharing with us Jann!

    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!
