Just about a month ago, we posted our very first blog bead challenge and asked you guys to participate and design jewelry based on the products that we included in the challenge. Next week we will be posting the three winners (who will all receive $75 gift certificates to FusionBeads.com!), but until then we want you to be able to see all of the designs! The names of the designers are listed above their photos, and some of them have even provided their websites, blogs, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts so that you can check out more of of their work! Feel free to leave a comment on this post to let the designers know what you love about their creations, but keep in mind that a panel of judges made up of the jewelry designers here at FusionBeads.com will be selecting the winners, so please do not vote! Don’t forget to check back next Friday, August 26th, to find out who won! (Although you are all winners in my book!)

They are all so pretty. It’s fascinating to see how we all envisioned something so different.
I really enjoyed participating in this Bead Challenge. It forced me to think outside of what I usually do, and use colors that I wouldn’t have put together on my own. I’ve worn my bracelet a couple of times, and have gotten a number of compliments on it!
Thanks, Fusion Beads, for such a fun contest, and keep them coming!!
Everyone did a super job. I look forward to seeing who the winners are. Love the colors!!!
