ok, silly idea just came to me, but then maybe not so silly. You've all heard about quilting bee's right? where a bunch of quilters get together and just hang out and quilt together, well, why not a beading bee? i know that if i get beading without anyone around, i start falling asleep (Beading...

A few lampworkers have been discussing lately something which concerns most of us here... the lampwork categories on eBay. We were talking about how lots and lots of us emailed eBay and they gave us a new category; lampwork handmade US. Unfortunately, that category is woefully inadequate, as it...

I plucked these out of Google. Her last posts sound pretty bad. I can't help but wonder if she had a breakdown of sorts. If her DH has shame about this he wouldn't exactly be wanting to tell anyone... Oct 29, 5:26 pm I had to give it up today or go to jail. I'm really bummed but I didn't give all...

A woman in my jewelry class said a friend of hers uses a crockpot with some (vermiculite? or something??) instead of a kiln. Is this possible? I'm sure you will all tell me why this is a bad idea... or maybe it's ok for beginners??? Thanks :) Pam

I just posted a small set of transparent teal green/copper green beads on JustBeads. Cool and calm colors. Now I'm off to pick up the silver foil I ordered, and take out all the reduction frits that just arrived, and play with silver and other metallic effects - probably my all time favorite thing...

Sterling silver and my lampwork beads. http://www.lampwork.net/damion.jpg This is the weekly giveaway winner's beads. Black base with a melted in twisty...

Just thought I'd pass this along.... Wal Mart is apparently re-doing their beady stuff inventory and is now selling those Tic Tac bead storage boxes. I believe they had 24 of them for $4 and something. There was a smaller amount too (12 I think) but I don't remember how much they wanted for...

I think you are right on Roxan. Dan and I frequently purchase art from unknowns because we love the artwork. Maybe someday they'll be famous or maybe they already are and we don't know it. The fact remains we buy what calls to us. "roxan" wrote in...

OK, I finally quit my job (YAY!) and even though I'm gonna miss it there, I am now living my lifelong dream of being a self-supporting artist! OK, well, I'll be living that dream in a week when I'm all done with my scheduled hours at Rejuv. So, amidst my celebrating, I realized that I really,...

I bought a really nice sterling silver clasp at a bead show yesterday. It's an S hook, but instead of the hook connecting to plain rings, it connects to two dragon heads. There are loops on the back of the heads for attaching the clasp to the piece of jewelry, but I didn't notice until today that...
