Saturday Sparkle: A Bead in Time

Who Sparkled this Saturday?
Lisa Crone from the A Bead a Day blog
Although its been awhile since I written a Saturday Sparkle post, I could not miss the opportunity to use my post to say a big congratulations to fellow blogger and beader, Lisa Crone.
Lisa is the author behind the A Bead a Day blog (one of my favorites for some time), and I'm now doubly inspired by her newly published book, "A Bead in Time", where Lisa shares 35 jewelry projects for all experience levels, as well as the inspiration that she takes from life when creating her projects.
Like many artists, Lisa's inspiration comes from a variety of sources and in her new book, you'll get step-by-step instructions for completing some unique and distinctive bracelets, earrings and necklaces. You'll also be inspired by her stories of inspiration, giving you a peek into how each project was inspired by a slice of everyday life -- inspirations that include her love of nature and travel to a box of chocolates.
Lisa has been beading jewelry for more about sixteen years and I got a big smile reading her book this week, not only because of her unique projects, but also because behind each page is a passionate crafter who follows her dreams, values her experiences and enjoys sharing her work and inspiration with others.
If you're interested in reading her new book, its being published by FW Media. Here is a link to their blog post from earlier this month.
Congratulations Lisa :)
Happy Saturday and Keep Sparkling!

Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words!! I can't tell you how much they mean to me! This has been a wonderful 2-year long experience during which I learned so much, not only about beads and techniques, but that there is a wonderfully supportive online community right at our fingertips! I am so glad it brought a smile, that was truly one of my goals in sharing my creative journey!! Have a great weekend! Lisa Crone

I agree to find matching jewelry for the dress is difficult. I would like to share my experience my sister's wedding was approaching and I was still struggling with the jewelry to match my outfit. My friend suggested me to check the site Kaneesha.com and I was amazed to see their collection. I will highly recommend to check http://www.kaneesha.com/KaneeshaJewelry/bridal-jewelry.cfm It will save your time and energy.
