What size anklet would you all wear? I've been getting orders for anklets with the spiral stitch and I've found the easiest way is to have someone measure their ankle and go from there. Does this sound right? So, this means every one I've made is custom but it would be nice to make some up...

I am just finishing up the last pair of earrings for a wedding I am doing, and I've come to the realization that I hate working with the color red. Seriously though, when I stopped and looked at my collection of jewelry that I've made, I really didn't have anything red - cept for some coral....

I have some focals I'd like to feature simply on a cord. With a little silver and maybe a couple accents. What is a good cord to use? For myself I'd probably just want to put it on a soft leather or suede cord, and just knot it in the back. Even make it up as the mood strikes me. Some of the...

Well I had not mentioned it here yet. But my husband and I had not been getting along at all. He is never one to bring up conversation that he is unhappy in our relationship. I am always the one who has to sit down and have "the talk." EVERYTIME. He ingnores me by playing video games...

I've been taking a break from designing, but will get back to it as soon as my Soft Flex order arrives. I'm curious - what projects is everyone working on? I'm planning on doing more healing bracelets with breast cancer pink ribbon charms and donating 10% of the sales to the Susan G. Komen...

I met a neighbor from two doors down yesterday. Her husband is a police officer, and they have lived in the neighborhood for a number of years. This is a real community, and people know one another and help each other out. Anyway, we had a big dumpster/rolloff thing for the weekend, as we had a...

Hello, me again. Just wondering how all you lampworkers out there organize your stringers. I have my glass all pretty and organized in cardboard tubing (not for the hot stuff obviously) But my stringers are all handmade and difficult to keep track of. Any suggestions? Vedis

Walk a mile in my shoes.... The polymer clay community has to be one of the worst concerning the copying battle. To most of them...if they can see it...they can try to copy and sell it. When I call a person I get trashed from one end of the internet to the other...called names I shall not repeat...

Sewing is on topic if you (plan to) sew on beads, isn't it? I'm ordering a sewing machine manual for a Brother XL 2010. It's an "older" machine. But it's got 18 stitches and looks clean and well cared for. Got it at the dump! I don't sew much. Partly because my sewing machine is almost...

Thanks for the warning because I need to mail a couple of bags of bott boi noodles to a friend in California. This just means I keep my mouth shut at the post office about what's inside of it. Ya never know when an Amish food product could be used as a weapon............. "vj" ...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group and thought I should post the obligatory intro :) My name is Candace and I live in Pelham, a suburb slightly south of Birmingham, AL. I'm a lampworker and I obsessively collect beads of all types. I've been melting glass since 1997 and collecting beads since...

I was going to post this to the jewelry ng, but the moderator is gone till Sunday nite and I want to start tumbling NOW... :) So I finally broke down and bought the steel shot I needed for tumbling my silver into a shine again. My BIG concern is that some of the tarnished silver beads that I...

I have recently found out that Wetcanvas is actively censoring certain links (to other forums) out of private messages between users... and this really upsets me. I personally have made furthering accurate information about lampworking one of my core values, and it breaks my heart to see a popular...

I'm getting depressed by how few posts we get on RCB per day. We used to get ZILLIONS -- a laugh a minute. Fer gawd's sake, lurkers, quit hiding! And everyone else, invite your friends to come to RCB! It used to be so ALIVE here. I know some blame me for driving others away......I BLAME...
