Sue Beads

Patti Vanderbloemen is such a talented jewelry maker, and she uses my beads a lot in her jewelry.  I'm so grateful for that!  She just took Kerry Bogert's on-line wire course and made this amazing necklace with my denim sparkle beads and a hand-made wire spiral chain that she made after taking the course!  Please visit her blog to see more photos of this incredible necklace!

Kathy Nomura, from Jewels by Kat , make these sweet valentine's with Bo Hulley hearts and my enameled fluted bead caps!  You can find more of these bead caps in my SueBeads etsy store!

Just thought I may as well continue the theme and show you some more customer work! This first one is by Kashmira Patel.  These are gorgeous earrings made with my enameled leaves!  I love them! This next pair of earrings is by Loralee Kolton of Loralee Kolton on etsy.   These were made with my pixie shimmer beads, they are so amazingly perfect for winter or a fancy night out! Finally, these earrings are by Sharyl McMillian-Nelson of Sharyl's Jewelry on Artfire.  She used my baroque beads to create these very unique earrings! If you have any creations you'd like me to share here on my blog, please let me know! 

Two customers shared some work they did using my beads!  So I'm sharing with you!  The first is by Rejetta Sellers ( Jettabug Jewelry ) and she was actually able to take advantage of my customer loyalty program because these pretties were published in Stringing Magazine!  These next three are by Traci of Downtown Glam .  Traci is actually a Pittsburgh girl, just like me, but she lives in Canada now!  Please check out both of these etsy stores, these ladies are so nice and talented!

Cindy, from DevineDesignsJewelry on etsy sent me this photo of a bracelet she made with my beads. I just love it! The dangle by the clasp is a kokopeli - this is a very subtle, pretty southwest design! Check out her shop!

Katie recently went on a very cool vacation, and while she was gone, she made some jewelry! Here are two sets of earrings she made with my beads! The first set was made from the galaxy sparkle beads I have available in my etsy store. The second two sets were made from some nice etched turquoise blue spacers, with copper discs from Humblebeads (I love these and wish I would have bought some!!!!!). You can read Katie's blog here !

Kris sent me some more photos of what she is doing with all the beads she is buying! She is selling her jewelry like crazy at a beach resort - if you want something by her, let me know and I'll contact her for you!

Kelly, of Silver Parrot , showed me a bracelet she made, and I need to show you! It's so cute and summery - made with some of my larger hole sea glass disc beads, plus a bunch of other glass beads from some talented glass artists! I just love it. I bet you do too!

Lime Crush, by Pam at cooljewelrydesign Pam at cooljewelrydesign on etsy made these very cute earrings with my lime sugar beads! Check them out with the link! These sugar beads are fun to make; if you want any, let me know!

Hey, check out what Katie of katiebead made with my Hilton Head Beach lentils!!! You can get them at www.suebeads.com . Have a great day!

My new friend and customer, Kris, sells her great ocean-themed jewelry in New Jersey, in some stores and with some friends! She even has her own personal sales manager, taking her wares to and fro to sell them! What a great friend. Here's some work she did with some of my beads - she hasn't been selling on etsy, but maybe she will soon? Let me know if you want her to make you something, too!

Pam, from cooljewelrydesign on etsy, made this necklace with my Chinese Lantern lampwork beads. You can click on her shop name to find the link. I like necklaces like these - they show off the beads and are nice and simple. Pam likes lampwork and you can find many things in her store right now! I have to take the day off from making beads to get the laundry done, pay the bills, and I think I'm going to try and sit in the sun by the pool for a bit. We had fun with friends watching the Stanley Cup last night, and I was up way past my bedtime! Need to chill out today!

I love this part! Pam, from cooljewelrydesign on etsy, made these totally happy sunny earrings from beads she bought from my etsy store! I just had to show them - don't they make you happy!?!?!? You can find them now in her store!

Photo Courtesy of Kelly, Silver Parrot Designs I promised you some customer work that I was very impressed with! Kelly, from Silver Parrot Designs , made this necklace with my bead set called Silvered Aqua Terra . I really love how she pulled the colors from the beads and made an impressive three strand necklace! I love to see what customers do with the beads I make for them, especially when they create something like this! You can also read Kelly's blog, here !

Gail, of jewelsoftheearth on etsy, is trying to break into the business. Here's something she made with my Walking on Sunshine beads and she is right, they are an eye-opener!

It's been too long since I have done this! I have some very cool customer work to show you! The first photo shows a set of four colorful, happy bracelets made by Maria Joao, in Portugal. She has an etsy store, Cool Temptations , but you can't get these bracelets - they are for sale in a shop in Lisboa. I may have mentioned I am going to Portugal this summer, and may get to see Maria and/or her work! This next bracelet and necklace set was done by customer, Martha. She made the set for her friend, and I'm happy to say the friend loves it! These were made with my Copper Wave set of beads, available on my web site, SueBeads , and sometimes smaller sets of these beads are available in the etsy store ! This necklace was made by my friend Diane, and you can find her etsy store here . She has bought so many of my beads in the past, she must have bins and bins full of them. Actually, I believe she sells a great deal of her work made with my beads, and for that I am happy! ...

Jean, from Olivias Garden , on etsy, let me know that she has an item listed in her etsy store made with my bead (this is a Waterlily Bead)! The necklace is called Monet , and it's very cute and happy! Just wanted you to know, you can click her store name or the name of the necklace, and be taken there!

I really like seeing what my customers do with the beads they buy from me - I hope you do too! Here's a peek at what another customer made - Nancy, from bythebead on etsy, made these earrings, called Vanilla Rock , from my silvered aqua terra beads. I originally made the beads after I saw a design by a jewelry maker, who used aqua terra jasper beads. I tried to replicate the look of the stone. They came out pretty darn close! I should have more of these beads in my store soon!

I have a long-time customer, Candy, who has a bracelet made with my beads listed in her etsy shop! She just left a really nice comment on my giveaway blog post. She mentioned that a good cure for the February Blah's is to buy beads, from ME! I think that' s a great idea! Here's a photo of the bracelet made with the Elegance beads, and a link to her store!

I have a great customer who requested some of my designer beads with a large hole. She was making dog leads and wanted to embellish them with lampwork beads. I have made a series of these for her, and she graciously gave me permission to post a photo of one of the leads she made with my purple galaxy bead. Her name is Linda, and if you are interested in her work, you can find it at www.dreamweaverpoms.com/leads.html . They are really cool and she does custom work!
