On the Cover of Bead-It. . .Today
If you look on the lower right corner of the newest issue of Bead-It. . .Today magazine, you'll see some earrings with sea glass beads in them. These earrings were designed by Cindy Cima Edwards, one of our Design Team members!
Those earrings are in fact part of a set that includes quite a few ZnetShows beads. Cindy used some of our Chinese crystal rondelles, bling balls, and cultured sea glass rounds in the set.

Keychain Clasp Lightening Round
Several weeks back we let interested members of the ZnetShows Design Team take part in a Lightening Design Challenge. Our lightening rounds are quick-fire challenges in which the designers are asked to create something within a short period of time after receiving their package. This time around, we asked them to design with a few of our KeyChain Clasps.
In addition, each designer picked out a couple of Chinese crystal beads to also work into their designs.
These Designers came up with some really beautiful creations and unique uses for the keychain clasps. Clicking on their names will take you to their blog posts.
