The Bead&Button staff is pulling out all their creative stops for our new April 2009 special issue: Brilliant Crystal Jewelry 2. First, CRYSTALLIZED - Swarovski Elements is enclosing a gift: A color wheel featuring CRYSTALLIZED Elements. Plus, our extraordinary editors are already designing jewelry, writing up notes for project instructions and advice about color, and working on more than 20 bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings, and pendants by contributors including Lilian Chen, Linda Gettings, May Briseboise, Cathy Lampole, and many others. We're very excited to offer instructions for three 2008 Bead-Dreams-winning pieces: Kai Nalu by Elizabeth Weaver, Deep in Sunset by Cindy Cohn, and Noose by Susan Mandel. You can see these three pieces in our online Bead Dreams gallery at BeadAndButton.com.
