Let the Fun Begin!
Welcome to the first ever Stringing blog carnival! Since 2007, when I published my first design in Stringing, I'd wondered how other designers came up with their ideas, named
their projects, and found (or crafted) the materials they used. So I invited designers to tell the story behind their designs in the fall issue of Stringing magazine which goes on sale today. If that weren't enough fun, I'm also hosting a giveaway—scroll down to the bottom to find out how to win a prize that will jump start your own fall jewelry creations!
