BESTeam feature - Alexander's Designs

Today I would like to present you  a lovely husband and wife team creating amazing jewelry - Alexander's Designs. Alexander's Designs jewelry is a unique blend of Swarovski Crystals, lamp work and glass beads, semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, fine silver, pewter, and gold. Some pieces are playful, bold with lots of color and some pieces are simple yet very beautiful.
Jenny made macaroni necklaces as a child, like most children do. But her love for many years was drawing and painting. It wasn't until 2002, when she discovered beads and a love for jewelry. She has been designing and creating her own line of jewelry ever since. What she loves most is seeing other people wearing her art. "It brings a smile to my face every time."
In 2005, Jenny's husband, Skip, joined her for a lamp work bead class. He has been creating with her ever since. They have also taken classes in Fused Glass and Borosilicate Glass together. They spend many hours perfecting their skill so that they can bring you quality handmade Glass Art beads and pendants.
I wish my partner had some passion for jewelry making rather than for football playing. But oh well, I am happy that he is supportive and tells everyone I make beautiful jewelry, rather than complains about the time I spend on Etsy.
But this post is not about me! Here are some of my favourite items from this lovely tandem:)

Fused glass pendant on 3 strands of seed beads with a sterling silver hook and eye clasp



And the decals in their Destash shop are so cute! For example this nature one. Use these ready made decals to add pictures to your fused glass, ceramics, enamel, and model projects. You get free decals to test on-so you don't waste the ones you pay for. Assortment includes 37 decals. Images are about 1 inch, 1/2 inch and 3/4 inches.

So do visit their three shops on Etsy: Alexander's Designs, Classically Simple and Beadery Destash. They also have an ArtFire shop Ugly Glass. Show some love to their wonderful blog Alexander's Designs and their website too!
