Hi Humblebeads Fans!

It's time for my new weekly update. I hope you enjoy these little bits of beady goodness in your inbox each Monday.

Need some inspiration this week? Try one of these creativity boosters:

Find a color palette in a decorating magazine this week, work it into a jewelry design. You can find some really beautiful color combination in the latest issue of Better Homes & Gardens. I know I pulled out a few of the images to use for upcoming jewelry-making sessions!

Try your hand at making your own earwires.

Add in some ribbon to your jewelry, like these recycled sari beauties.

fauxpatina1 Something to Say

Make a pendant this week with a favorite quote or word.

Try stamping an inspiring word into metal or clay. Or cut out a favorite quote and layer it in a resin collage pendant.

Here is quite a list of happy, powerful and inspiring quotes.
