Every few months, we all stay late after work for a party with silver beads! After a delicious take-out meal of Thai or Indian food, we clear the packing tables and start designing! Out come stashes of silver, tourmaline, vintage buttons, lava rock nuggets and jet pendants. Always close by are our personal Post-Its covered in Nina Designs styles we’ve been lusting after (although the “wish-list” feature recently added to on-line Nina Designs accounts are making these Post-Its obsolete). Much time is spent back and forth between the packing tables and our in-office stock bins as we pull out the latest Nina Designs favorites and try different arrangements of links, pendants, chains, beads and charms. In addition to personal creations, many of the Design Ideas up on our website were made at a Bead Night.
We look forward to Bead Nights and the chance to chat and catch up, learn new techniques from our co-workers, and play with Nina Designs new styles. The creative synergy and cross-pollination that takes place on these evenings is one of the best parts of working here. We are all grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and stoke our creative fires. Do you ever mix bead business and pleasure? We’d love to hear about your jewelry making gatherings.
