A big thank you goes out to Tatia Meyer for the privilege of being Bead Trends' Featured Designer in this month's issue:
I was asked to send enough pieces of jewelry to fill approximately 10 pages, which, it turns out, is a tremendous amount of jewelry - whew! I tried to push myself in the design and construction of these pieces, and I was really pleased with the outcome.
The first set is called "Wind and Waves",
and features a beautiful bead and pendant set from Yolanda's Clay:
