From the novice to the professional, the art of beading and jewelry design is a craft that anyone can enjoy.  It is a world of beauty filled with color, pattern, design, texture, and style.  It provides a satisfying outlet to create something that is a unique expression of yourself.

Because we have a passion for creating and believe that everyone has within them the talent and vision to make beautiful things with their hands, Bead Trends has introduced a beautifully photographed series of idea books designed to inspire.  Every issue is filled with a variety of styles and techniques that showcase the work of many talented crafters.  A favorite section of mine is our “Designer Highlight.”  In this section we are introduced to a single artist, who is then given the opportunity to express him/herself and showcase their personal style in their designs.

In addition to the Designer Highlight, we are excited to share with you our “Fabulous Findings” section.  The world of beads is continually growing and there are so many gems out there to be discovered.  We are excited to share product ideas, hot new tips, and ways to make things easier. We also include technique articles which range from the very basics, for those just getting started, to the more advanced.  Each issue has something for everyone.

Beading and jewelry design is a continual journey of self-discovery. It is a way to find joy in your artistic self.  Subscribe to Bead Trends today, and prepare to be inspired.
