Star gazers celebrated this week as our sun and satellite put on a galactic display. The moon took centerstage and showed jewelry lovers what a real ring of fire looks like. We celebrated with heavenly jewelry of our own. Check out our recap and learn how to make gallery quality jewelry that is affordable and as gorgeous as the eclipse. We created magic with our Rainy Day Blues themed jewelry kit. We had a beading party with our friend Sarah James, from Jesse James Beads. We learned what Jesse James Beads has in store for our upcoming kits (we include exclusive JJB bead mixes, and more, in our curated beading kits). We looked at Kristen's adventures at Craftcation. And we checked out videos from some of our friends around YouTube and Facebook. Did you catch our latest Live Sale? You can still shop until Sunday! Let's make jewelry!
