My First Book Review!

One of my favorite websites is http://www.Ormentea.com
and blogs http://shinylittlethings.blogspot.com/

I was thrilled to read Cynthia’s review of my book, FABULOUS FABRIC BEADS.
Cynthia has all kinds of fun events going on. Right now they’re doing a Charm Swap. Check it out! Looks so fun, I’ll have to fit it in my schedule next time!

MARTHA STEWART RIBBONS BEADS

I created these beauties for my new book (you can pre-order on my website http://www.KristalWick.com) and they inspired me to go further and became an entire soon-to-be-launched wedding jewelry line!

I love the color palette of the Martha Steward ribbons for everything wedding! So light and luscious! This 3 strand necklace is pretty formal and you can adapt it and use 1 or 2 strands instead of 3.

That's the fun of designing, isn't it?

MARTHA STEWART RIBBON BEADS

Check out a couple of new designs from my new book, FABULOUS FABRIC BEADS!
You can still pre-order the book, it ships early October, I’ll sign it for you and send you FREE Sassy Silky Beads!!!!

I teach you how to make these GREAT Martha Stewart Ribbon Beads in my book using Martha Stewart Ribbons and then and Swarovski crystals and incorporate them into finished jewelry, mixed media projects or quilt dangles, etc.

Sooooooooooooooo fun with endless options!
Great for a gal-pal party to get ready for your holiday festivities!

The new October issue of Bead & Button magazine has all the Bead Dreams finalists displayed from the competition this past June. My necklace, Tribal Odyssey, is on page A-12! I had such fun making that piece and am honored to be one of the finalists!
