There are so many wonderful jewelry designs out there. Try as I might, I cannot possibly cover them all. So I am starting this page of inspirational designs by readers like you! The link to this page is at the top of my homepage.

There are three simple requirements :
1. Designs must be handmade.
2. Designs have to be linked to a specific design from an online store, forum gallery listing, Facebook or a blog post. Do send URL links. Do not send photos attached in emails.
3. You have to be a follower or subscriber (free).

Don't know how to subscribe? Check this post. If you prefer to be a follower through Blogger's Follow system, my Twitter, or my Facebook Page, that's okay too.

What do I mean by inspirational? A design with the wow factor - something you are proud of and want to show off and inspire others. Sometimes spectacular designs came about the hard way. Lady Roots' Tri-Tri-Tri bracelet below was created with much trial and error. She kept looking at the thread pattern in pictures because she had no books or tutorials to learn the triangular/open triangular stitch. Her dogged persistence was truly inspirational! Never give up.

So put on your thinking caps, choose one of your own designs which you think will inspire, then send me your link! Tell your friends too. This gallery is always open to more designs from now on. I have canvassed a few subscribers below to get the ball rolling. My email is beadinggem[at]yahoo dot ca.And oh, if you are so taken by any of these designs, please share your comments.
