Belle Armoire Magazine- Spring 2011

I am delighted to say that I have a couple of pieces in Belle Armoire Magazine for Spring 2011!  I have loved this magazine for years. So inspiring.........and this issue is no exception! 

 To be a small part of it makes me smile! 

One of my necklaces in the gallery is all wire wrap & Swarovski Elements crystals.  Love!  The other is a resin piece that I thought was going to look one way, took a detour and turned out to be something completely different than the original direction but isn't that just how the creative process goes sometimes?  It is for me, I try not to get frustrated by the detours but embrace them and see where they lead.  Many times it is a better path than where I thought it was going.........

Enjoy the Creative Process!

Have a sparkling day!

New Spring 2011 Jewelry Affaire Magazine

So excited to say that I have several pieces of jewelry in the new Jewelry Affaire Magazine that is hitting newstands now!  I love this magazine as well as its editor and staff!  Delightful! 

Here is a sneek peek at the new cover, love the earrings!

 One of my featured projects in the magazine, Vintage Rose necklace below is created from some wonderful vintage vintage beads and pendant from my huge vintage stash of goodies in the studio and some sparkling Swarovski Elements crystals of course! 

 One of the things that I found with this necklace was that a clean & simple design was actually better compared to a busy, more complicated design.  Sometimes, we can "over-design" so keep that in mind as will I when working on future jewelry projects.

I get so excited when the newest issue of a magazine that I love comes out and some of my jewelry is featured......it make for an extra-special sparkling day when it arrives and I can finally share with everyone!  Can't wait to see all of the other projects in this issue of Jewelry Affaire!

What I love.........

June Beach at the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Showroom

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Ambassadors- Laura Timmons, Kristal Wick,
 June Beach and Tammy Honaman in Tucson

One of the things that I love the most about being a SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Ambassador is not only my love of all things that sparkle, being a part of this amazingly talented group of Ambassadors but I love that when I get to teach, do a make & take, a demo that I get to meet so many amazing people that I have the opportunity to meet, talk about making something sparkling & beautiful and help spread the crystal love! 

 I have met some fantastic bead store owners and artists who just by their description of their stores or studio, I want to hop on a plane and rush there to see where they inspire others,

create and have studio time with them! So many amazing & super talented artists out there!!!

I love when I have the opportunity to talk to beaders and crystal lovers 

who through the course of the conversation I realize that they have travelled from Australia, Canada, South America and  Europe.  I am touched that they are taking some of their precious time

 to spend with me talking or taking a class. Special indeed! 

I love how even with the crazy weather this year, that didn't stop anyone from wanting to learn a new technique and create something sparkling and beautiful!

So for as much as everyone loves to meet the Ambassadors at the showrooms, classes, demo's, make & take's and various other events.........we are delighted and thrilled  to have the opportunity to meet you as well and share in the crystal love!

Sparkles!  June

National Craft Month

Did you know that it is National Craft Month? 

What fun to get in there and create something fabulous for yourself, a friend, a sister or your mom! 

 I encourage you to get in there and get crafty! 

This is a necklace that I made recently, using some recycled fabric to create a beautiful flower that is the focal for the necklace then I added in the gemstones, Swarovski Elements crystals and Vintage Brass Chain. 

Cool, fun and love the upcycled flower!

The little assistants LOVE to create their own jewelry (they do like their sparkles, LOL!)

 as well as some fun baubles for their friends as well as creating door hangers,

beautiful & colorful drawings and more!

They even have their own craft box full of  chenille stems, pom pom, foam cut outs, construction paper, scissors, crayons, markers, sticky gems and much more

 (yes, lots of sparkly things are in their box in case you were wondering....) 

What a great way to have encourage their creative thoughts and ideas!

Enjoy National Craft Month!

Happy Sparkling Saturday From June

Little chilly here in Dallas today but been playing in the studio today with some wire crochet.  Using a 22g wire in a beautiful antique copper color that I got from Parawire that I am loving and mixed some of my favorite SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystals into the pieces for that added bit of sparkle. 

Bit harder to work with over all vs. using a 26-28g wire that I normally use for my wire crochet but liking the bolder look for the necklace that I am working on.  Will share pictures when it is complete!

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of some other newer pieces that I have finished

A updated version of my Sparkle Plenty Watch Bracelet with freshwater pearls, cute floral charms and of course Swarovksi Elements

Love this necklace with the crystal centerpiece beads, pearls, chain and denim........fun!

Love this necklace called Put a Tassle On It! 

Love the cool tassles, coral, turquoise and lampwork beads!

More later!

Have a sparkling day from the Beach Haus Studios!~

Sparkles!
