Blue Doors Beads features a jewelry artist each month (Remember when I debuted my Elmwood line?). Last month, the Blue Door Beads staff shared their creations with us and everything was gorgeous! These Ladies are so creative and skilled in their craft.

Briana
I had purchased one of Briana’s pieces before as a gift so I was excited to see what new creations she had for tonight’s event.

I fell in major like with this piece. I was sold when I found out she created the metal piece by hand.

Dara / D. Lea Studio
Dara is an artist extraordinaire. She teaches a number of classes at BDB and she’s got mad photography skills. I’ve been eyeing her electroforming class on the BDB class calendar. I can’t wait to take it!

Lydia / The Patina Project
Lydia is one of the friendliest faces you’ll ever meet! Her pieces are both light and airy, and bold and show-stopping. Rumor on the street is she’s opening up an online shop soon.

Sydney / Tropikali
I just met Sydney on the night of the trunk show, but I had been Instagram stalking her for a while. 😁 I like all the color and beadwork in her designs.

Rachel
I remember when Rachel showed me her first hammered piece. She is a confident lady and I like how that stands out in her work. These pieces are striking and stunning.

In case you missed the event, never fear! There are lots of staff-made pieces at the front of the store. (Oooo, aahhh…)
