Creative Spark Summer 2014 Reveal and Blog Hop

I hope your Fourth of July festivities were a blast!! Now for another reason to celebrate. . .the reveal of Creative Spark Summer 2014!!

For this issue, we decided to focus on our cultured sea glass. The participating design team members were asked to select two colors from the many shades available. In addition to those colors, they received sea glass beads and pendants in surprise hues. The task was to create designs appropriate for Summer Days (casual) and designs for Summer Night (dressy) with the cultured sea glass. Are you ready to see what they came up with? Here you go!

 

Since we included so many designers in this issue of Creative Spark, we kept their pictures and descriptions to a minimum in order to fit everyone in the pages and give you as much eye candy as possible. With that in mind, we asked the designers to also post about their designs today as part of a blog hop for the reveal. You will likely see more information and detail of the pieces in these blog posts.
