May Bead Trends

I'm in the May Bead Trends! Back in October (or so), I sent several photos to Bead Trends, and they responded right away, asking to use my "Make a Wish" necklace (see post from April 17, where I'm a little excited). I was thrilled that they wanted to use one of my designs. But, then a month later, I got ANOTHER email from Bead Trends! They wanted to use another design for the May issue!
These earrings are one of my favorite pairs. I actually made them a while ago. Every time I wear them, I get compliments. When I started selling my jewelry at The Orchard Artworks (a small gallery near me), I decided to make a pair to sell. They were the first piece I sold there. I really do not like to make the same thing more than once, but I have made an exception here. I have made them several times, and they sell every time.
Bonus: They used this picture on the table of contents page too!
Bonus Bonus: I'm on the Vintaj blog again!

 Below is the photo I sent to Bead Trends. They are really more of a tan color - very neutral - and not as orange as the Bead Trends photo. In my photo you can also see the bead cap at the bottom. I used it to give the nest a rounded looking bottom, to look more like a nest rather than a crazy bunch of wire.

That's it for Bead Trends, for a while anyway. I haven't submitted anything in a while, and I haven't heard from them. But, now that I have a new camera and can take decent photos again, I think I'll submit some photos!!
