Bead Table Wednesday-Brainstorming Znetshows Sea Glass

Bead Table Wednesday Is Sponsored by Heather Powers of Humblebeads

I thought I would give you a glimpse of what is on my table this week.  It is another pile of beads!

Znetshows Sea Glass that Bay Moon Design Just Received

 I just received these sea glass beads from Znetshows.  I am one of their designers.  I am challenged with making one daytime (casual) design/set AND one nighttime (dressy) design/set with the sea glass I received.  A set can include a necklace, a bracelet, earrings, an anklet, and/or a brooch, etc. that all go together.  The deadline is for submitting photos of the pieces is June 13.

 The first task that I have to meet this deadline is to brainstorm what I am going to make with these beads.  I usually put all of the like pieces together on my table as you see in the photo.  I could choose any 2 colors that I wanted and I picked black and white.  Znetshows also included a few blue and purple beads.  We will see how all this plays out.

Day Time Design Ideas:  I am thinking I will make some jewelry for a day time graduation party for my cousin.  My jewelry will include:

• Bracelet with Sand Dollar as focal, use blue sea glass
• Necklace with Sand Dollar as focal, use blue sea glass or other blue beads in design
• Matching Earrings-white squares or white circle beads

Night Time Design Ideas:  I need some jewelry for an evening wedding

Necklace with sea glass and crystals-Black circular sea glass as focal
Matching Bracelet-Black circular sea glass as focal
Matching Earrings-black square sea glass with white square sea glass layered in top and round black sea glass
I will try to work the purple beads into this design.

I hope this gives you an idea of how I go about making jewelry out of a pile of beads!  Of course, these creations will end up in my Bay Moon Design Etsy Store since I am using these scenarios as my mental inspiration for creation.
