~YAY! And HELLO LADIES!!
~Welcome to my blog and the B'Sue Design A Line Challenge! For those of you who are reading this and scratching your heads right about now...I am a member of Brenda Lansdowne's Facebook Creative group. In the beginning of January Brenda was so generous to offer up the design A Line Challenge/ Blog Hops- I jumped at the chance to build my line, my brand and most of all learn from the best- Brenda!! (One of the extra benefits to this challenge is admittance into B'Sue's private classroom!) And for my fellow sisters from the build a line challenge I am working with a brand new computer and I am still figuring it out, SO please forgive the missing build a line badge and photo ( I have a small photo over by "about me") but as I figure it out I will add it... I have a Dr. appt today so I will not be able to start visiting everyone until tomorrow... (I am going to try to tonight but I am usually in mad pain when I get back from this particular Dr. so I am not sure) ~ xo
So... Here we are at the first of 3 blog hops during this challenge. This hop is all about sharing our design vision, along with sketches, photos of materials and components we are going to use and our vision of where we intend to take our line. SO... without further ado ... Let's go see what's perkin' with my line, THE BOHEMIAN SPELL.
If someone were to ask me to describe my own design challenge that would be easy: "Vintage Inspired Bohemian Chic" I have always carried a bit of a Bohemian estetic through out my various stages of evoution of my own personal jewelry design. I tend to lean toward the organic, but at the same time I love to use, or create components and pieces that have a story to tell. I can only share ideas with you today, because

that is the way I create. When I sit down to create I start with a main idea or focal , but I never know what creative turn the piece will take until I sit down to actually bring all those design ideas to life....

I Love working with polymer clay. The design elements of my line will be made up of Beautiful Brass Stampings, Bead Caps, Spectra Beads, Filigree,Findings and a little of this and that from B'Sue Boutiques, as well as my own Polymer Clay Designs, chain, Greek Leather, Awesome Antiqued Brass Wire, Handmade Wire Crochet and of course, B'Sue's Sari Ribbon!!

SO IT IS STILL VERY EARLY AND I HAVE MANY MORE PHOTOS TO DOWNLOAD, LOTS OF B'SUE PRODUCTS BUT I HAVE A LITTLE GLITCH RIGHT NOW, I AM POSTING FROM A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW COMPUTER AND IT IS STILL DOWNLOADING MY PHOTOS! SO, AS SOON AS IT IS DONE I WILL ADD THE EXTRA LINE PHOTOS AND PERHAPS YOU CAN STOP BACK DURING THE HOP TO SEE THE REST OF THE PHOTOS- I JUST DID NOT WANT TO DELAY POSTING MY LINE!! WISHING EVERYONE A FUN AND AWESOME HOP AND LINE CHALLENGE- CANNOT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE'S LOVERLIES!!
