Artisan Whimsy's 5x5 Test Group

Online bead community, Artisan Whimsy, hosts a 5x5 challenge each month. This challenge pairs up jewelry component suppliers and jewelry artists by giving five artists five supplies from that supplier. ZnetShows.com had the opportunity to be that supplier for July. Bill decided that it was possible for us to supply more than five sets and surprised the community by offering up samples of our sea glass to willing Artisan Whimsy members.

Here's a sample of shot of what they received
