Cute Miniatures from Megan’s Beaded Design shop! on Luxe by Liz Fashion

“Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of getting to work with Megan, Owner of Megans beaded designs. She has so many fabulous creations and some really unique items over at her shop. Several years ago when I first got a pinterest, I pinned this little tea cup ring to my Wish List pin board. Well guess who makes the cutest tea cup rings?! YES, I was finally able to get a mad hatter tea cup ring AND a latte ring. They are such unique pieces and sooo adorable. I had a blast styling them and can’t wait to wear these quirky little rings all the time 🙂 I got so many compliments when I wore them for the first time over the weekend! “

Quilted Accessories, Dating and the Negative Space Collection on Bicoastal Brunette

“These modern earrings are just my style! They are edgy and perfect for the day or a night out. The come in gunmetal on black and are flattering for everyone. The outside of the squares are hand beaded and the inside contains a faux- leather square. These earrings measure ¾ an inch wide and 1 and 3/4 an inch long. These modern earrings are lightweight so they won’t stretch your holes. The best part of all is that if you don’t have pierced ears they come in clip on!”

OOTD: Florals with Megan’s Beaded Designs on Pretty and Polished

“Her necklaces and bracelets are to die for; each one is intricately hand-made with the most incredible beaded detail. This green, twisted necklace is my absolute go-to piece of bling at the moment, and can be worn so easily with pretty much any outfit. I also wanted to show off this adorable ring too; a cake, ON A RING. If that isn’t the cutest thing ever then I don’t know what is…”

Megan’s Beaded Designs on Not Just a Curl

“Megan picked up jewelry making from her grandfather when she was about 5 years old, and has been creating things with beads ever since. Due to Megan also having a quiet personality (similar to myself), she likes to dress up and wear jewelry that helps her express herself when words are hard to come by, which I think is a great way to show off your personality! Megan went to college for art and received her degree in graphic design, which she is able to apply to her jewelry designing and creation process – and also by having designed such a wonderful website which is easy to look around and find everything you are looking for and more.”

Evil Eye and Arrow on DIMPLEBUG

“This post is about just that: some gorgeous handmade jewellery I received from the talented Megan at Megan’s Beaded Designs. I just love the unique pieces on her site, but these two are definitely my fave! Just LOOK at this ‘Evil Eye Ring’ from the ‘Evil Eye Collection‘. When I opened the box my heart did a little flutter – it’s just the right amount of cute/weird. I could stare into the evil little eye all day. I love wearing things that are a bit different, and this ring definitely did it for me!

The arrow earrings are really cool too! I pop them in whenever I have my hair up and I instantly feel fiercer – if that’s a word. A bit like Katniss from The Hunger Games. Don’t mess with me (hehe)!”

Designer Spotlight: Megan Petersen on Flourish & Thrive

“Learning to be as productive as possible, usually by working in batches and careful planning, has allowed me to not only run a successful jewelry business, but keep up with my day job to boot. I am always striving to refine my skill and my process, as well as helping other along their journey as well.

I’m a graphic designer by day, and creator of beaded jewelry and hair accessories by the evenings and weekends that follow. I’ve been beading since I was about 5 years old, and have never been able to give up the addiction! While I do love my day job, I am also in love with building my jewelry business and all that entrepreneurship entails.”

Megan Petersen on how her childhood led her to beading and how she runs her business while working full-time on Blacksburge Bell

“I can’t help but think of those words of early encouragement, back when my pictures looked like crap and I was charging nothing near what my stuff was worth. They really pushed me forward. Those first few positive feedbacks which raved about how much they loved their new treasures, or those first few blog commenters that told me to keep writing. These things are so vital to creatives when we are first starting out, scared and unsure of ourselves and wondering if we’re crazy for even trying.”
