Katiedids™ on the cover of BeadStyle

Woo hoo! I'm so thrilled that my project made the cover of the BeadStyle July issue, which hits newsstands on June 1. The colors were inspired by the view from my window: grass and wheat under a blue sky. The pendant is from my new Katiedids™ Creative Components collection. Ask for them at your favorite bead store or place an order on my SHOP page.

I'm honored to be a part of this edition that the editors are calling their "All-Star" issue. It's the first time BeadStyle has commissioned specific projects from designers.
