Annual Spring Memphis Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Show - Emerging Eco Friendly Beads…

March 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Beaders are jumping on the bandwagon to join the eco friendly wave.  Bead Exhibitors are starting to carry more eco friendly beads made from natural materials or recycled materials.  Also many designers buy or find old jewelry no one wants and re-create it into a beautiful design.  Some people are using old newspaper and magazines and creating paper beads.  There are several instructional videos on youtube.com on how to create recycled paper beads.  Others are using discarded glass such as bottles and dishes to create new glass beads.  

    Using natural materials or recycling old items is a great way to help the planet and create something beautiful.

    Intergalactic is fortunate to have Kearoskuro Creative Collections (formerly Georgi Design Studio) at the Memphis show. Kearoskuro focuses on bead products utilizing natural mother of pearl and other natural indigenous materials for there beads.  They source out and recycle these materials from all over the world.  They only use materials that will not endanger the environment and wildlife species.  They also focus on recycling natural materials to transform them into unique and elegant pieces of art.

    Kearoskuro is just one of the many exciting exhibitors at the Memphis, TN Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Show.  The event will feature some of the nation’s best bead exhibitor’s show casing an incredible selection of beads.  

    Visitors to the show will find beads in every size and shape imaginable, including semi-precious and precious gemstone beads, seed beads, handmade artisan glass beads and exotic ethnic beads made from natural materials such as bone and wood.  Jewelry designers will be able to examine the beads before they buy and find the perfect beads to create their own unique jewelry.

    Intergalactic has been promoting bead and jewelry shows for over 16 years and offers an unprecedented level of service, quality and value.  People love the shows! Our attendance has increased 25% since 2008.

    Stephanie of Memphis says, “I love the shows not only do you get to find fascinating beads and findings you have the opportunity to network with other beaders to share techniques”.

    Beading itself has been around for thousands of years. It has been popular since the moment an ancient human found a shell or stone and wore it around their neck.  Since then beading has been popular in one form or another. Back in 2004, Interweave Press did a survey and found there are more than five hundred fifty thousand active beaders in the US who spent an average of $850 on supplies each year.  

    Beading and jewelry design is still a booming industry in the US and people are still coming up with unique creative designs.  The Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry show will be in an inspiration to everyone from beginning beaders to experienced jewelry designers there is something for everyone.
