So, I've just had my first really bad eBay experience. Well, by "had" I really mean "am having". I bough an expensive graphing calculator for my fried Gwyn (she doesn't have internet) on June 23rd, and paid right away. I got an email from the seller immediately, saying she'd send the product at...

Sorry, I'm a bit excited! It's European 4-in-1 weave for those who are interested, I haven't been able to get the hang of it until tonight! I know the photo's awful, I took it in about 5 secs sitting here at my desk and haven't edited...

I know I've asked about this before, but I lost/forgot the answers. I'm addicted to making RAW bracelets, but when it comes to finishing them - attatching a clasp - I am completely at a loss for what to do. I just can't come up with a way to finish them that looks "professional", lets the bracelet...

So, um, where does he live again *pulling on a pair of black leggings* I'm just wondering *slipping into a black T-shirt* No big reason *hanging a stethescope around my neck* A little curiosity is all * slathering on some boot polish* Be nice to visit * heading out to the getaway...er...family...

Okay, you did it. You pulled me out of my comfort zone here in newbie lurkdom - lol! I guess I'll have to introduce myself now... I started lampworking about 3 months ago and I love it. Enough about me :-) To Rachel and this group: What an incredible bunch of people you are! I watched you...

Sometime in the past 6 months (I think) there was an article in one of the magazine about Miriam Haskell Techniques. Anyone know what magazine and which issue? I went through a whole bunch of magazines tonight and couldn't find it. --Caren www.BeadedGarden.com Kits, Patterns, Books and Supplies...

You are probably all going to say 'so what?' but I saw a single sample of the Fire Opal colour on a card and was absolutely stunned by it so went on a search of eBay and found a really nice seller, carefully picked 6 packs of crystals (2 being Fire Opal and Fire Opal AB) making sure they came to...

I think it's wonderful that you feel free, and happy, to answer anyone's email questions. This is generous and truly commendable. I say this without a hint of sarcasm; I really mean it. The "Photographing your beads" thread was about people who feel taken advantage of when they're assailed by...

Hello Everyone! Good news... My husband has got the bug. I've been planning and planning for over a year on starting lampworking, but for some odd reason today he got the bug. I'm flabbergasted. So he wants to melt some glass and bad. We watched a video today (Lewis C. Wilson on Glass Bead...

I just put up a boro pair on e-Bay in very cool light amethyst coloured seeded glass. They'd make a nice pair of earrings but are big enough to be noticeable in other work. The listing is at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4912803384 Thanks for looking!

Last Sunday, I won black and white beads from Starlia. The post office did its best to keep them from me, but they finally arrived today. They are great! I am a sucker for black and white and gray and white lampwork (hint hint). Thanks for offering them Starlia.

Kathy -- it didn't put me in a spot. And luckily, I only live in one place for a short time these days, LOLOLOLOL. Those are beads that wanted to be bracelets! They are culled from a box of beads that Carol bought from a bead seller and gave me during the move -- after a while, moving more beads...

Hi all, Doing some research and I am looking for large Swarovski cubes (8mm +) in Cantaloupe. So - found some at www.accentsbead-md.com . Anyone ever order from them? Good, bad, neutral? Thanks, Kathy

Ok, remember that rule about cut once measure twice? Apparently, I never learned that one. Well, while hanging out, watching hours of Little House on the Prarie, with my sick, DD, I played with some wire. I decided to try the ring that was in the latest issue. I would love to be able to do...

Stress relief is time at the torch.... I've made a few things over the past few days when I just HAD to get away from the books. I have not taken pictures of all of them yet - but I did post TWO new SEAFANS and two new "bubble" beads on my What's New...

I've never seen one hank of beads go this high! Is there a larger quantity to a "Master hank"? I'm lost on this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3811&item=491082853 9&rd=1 ~Candace~ Orphan Beads Low cost and bartering for the financially challenged...
