It's finally here! The newest issue of Creative Spark, the Summer 2016 issue, is hot off the virtual presses.

Creative Spark Summer 2016

This issue is a little different as it is divided by bead shapes and styles rather than design categories. It focuses mostly on some new cultured sea glass shapes. However, there is a section that showcases tiny Chinese crystal beads in a rondelle shape.

In addition, the designers share how they organize their beads and supplies, their favorite summer palettes, and some of their favorite summer vacation spots. As well, there are inspiring quotes, a recipe, and a book review. You'll actually just have to go check it out for yourself to see all the awesomeness contained inside.

You can flip through the pages in the viewer below or follow this link over to Creative Spark Summer 2016 to see it larger.


We'd love to know if this e-magazine lights a creative spark in you!

Your Fall Theme Suggestions Wanted

The Autumn season is almost knocking at our doors. And, I know many people are looking forward to cooler temperatures, the start of school, football season, leaves changing color, and all that Fall brings. Your list may also include the one year anniversary of Creative Spark Magazine. If you remember, last year's Fall issue had a 'Rings and Bling' theme. In the Winter we focused on glass pearls. Spring brought us some 'Spring Surprises' of Chinese crystal beads and cultured sea glass. And out most recent, Summer issue focused solely on our sea glass beads and pendants.

Now, we're gearing up for this next issue and are asking for some ideas from you as to what you'd like to see in it. Are there ZnetShows products you'd like to see in use? Does a certain Autumn theme resonate in your thoughts? We'd love to know your thoughts and ideas on the subject.
