Whoops Blog Hop Uses Our 16mm Glass Pearls

When Cynthia of Antiquity Travelers picked out some of our gray 16mm glass pearls for her upcycled designs for Creative Spark Fall 2014, she didn't realize just how large that was. WHOOPS!

While she rolled with it for the issue, she also knew she had just too many of these wonderfully large beads for her own personal use. Instead of just hoarding them away, Cynthia offered up a sample of the pearls to some of her beady friends to see what they could create with them. Here's a list of the participants who took her up on the offer.

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.
