My sister had her baby last night around 8:00 pm. Her name is Elizabeth and she's beautiful! -Ellen

Hi all, guess I am Ms. Chatty today. Anyway, I am taking my mom who is 89 to see my sister in Anchorage on August 31 to Sept. 8 and I was wondering if anyone on the RCB board lived near there, we could hook up and talk beads!!! Denise Glitzy Glass Studio

Poor Harold, apparently he had a link to his site in his auctions and they were pulled by eBay! So he's relisted them all, serially, with the titles reading out a story. Check out his gallery and read the titles in...

I am just getting started (actually have false started a few times over the years but now I am psyched). I am trying to find the best prices. Can someone point me to the best online suppliers and also answer these questions? How much should I be paying for soft flex wire (.019) How much should I...

I took a trip up to Sacramento to visit Kim W. (www.kimbeads.com ) and we had a fantastic time. Girl time is the best! Since Mark has gone back to work and Desiree (18) has decided to live "communally" with a group of her friends, I have been getting pretty restless around the house all by...

I just wanted to share this new set http://snipurl.com/gh29 I really was surprised by these beads when they came out of the kiln. I really love the shades of purple and fuschia, but I especially love the way they feel. Denise Glitzy Glass Studio http://snipurl.com/gh29

I am looking for a source for the above. Preferably 10mm beads, round like pearls, and uniform in color. Most of the turquoise I see is irregular in shape. Perhaps the stone doesn't lend itself to being fashioned in a round shape. Any help would be aprreciated. Thanks

Surely these can be made by the lampworker? SS rods in various sizes can't take a whole lot of special prep, right? Does anyone here make their own? Where do you get the rod material, a welding supplier? Hardware store? Do you think I used enough "?s" in just a few lines of text? Should I...

Hi everyone, Just to let you know the next 7 days will be my last for awhile. I got my transfer orders for GM Arlington Tx. I have to report by the 8th for work P.S. and beady pals in the Arlington Tx area? Jim

but I thought it might be kind of interesting: Ursela (Touch of Glass of recent photo-stealing fame) sent an email to Greg at the ISGB, and frankly the way the letter is written - the tone, the grammar, everything - makes me believe that she's telling the truth. I stumbled upon the post by...

Take a look - Sale good till the end of the month. Same day despatch. Anywhere.! http://www.pandorasbookshop.com Tks for your time!

I have been wandering again. Pat my friend who went blind and has a little sight returned, asked us to take her to her cabin cruiser on the Norfolk Broads. Pat is unable to drive. We went to Wroxham to get on the boat. It is the first time we have been in summer, we usually go in the winter. It...

So, I just started, and my excitement has spread. My mom is sending me an antique necklace that was my great-grandma's and she wants me to make things for all the girls in the family. We figured that there would be about 12 beads per person. The necklace is made of iridescent glass pearls, in a...

I spent the weekend playing with tiger beads, my first foray into the gentre. I am pleased with the results - perfect for a power piece for fall I think. These are chunky disks, tabs and barrels - left to look like roughly cut nuggets and pebbles rather than perfect uniform shapes, seemed more wild...
