Big News!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm partnering with Beadalon on a new line of co-branded products for beading. We showed them this past weekend at the CHA Show in California and it was really fun to see people's reactions - I took some pictures of people wearing their Katiedids creations, which I'll share here soon.

I invented these specially engineered Katiedids™ Creative Components to make it easy for people to add a customized, hand-beaded look to their findings. Each of the seven different pieces provides a channel-set effect for beads, flatbacks, fibers, polymer clay, resin, and more.

The donuts, sticks and pendants can be filled in a simple manner, allowing beginners to easily add a high fashion look to their hand beaded jewelry. Or, designers can use more advanced techniques to personalize and set their work apart. The channels in the components provide a framework, but you make them your own.

As the shipment date gets a bit closer, I'll be taking pre-orders for a special collection of these new components on my website. I just can't wait to share them with you!
