Hey ladies and gents (if there are any here anymore), Lately I've fallen "out" of love with beading it seems. I don't know if I'm just on a beading hiatus or what. I still like to do bead embroidery and currently have a project, but weaving and stringing are just falling to the wayside with me....

I've put up some pictures of 4 of my sterling silver necklaces. I haven't added links on my web pages to the pictures yet. I still need to add some better descriptions and my standard website menu stuff. But I wanted to show them to...

There's a store in Oakland called Guess Who where they sell the clothes they produce. Excellent patterns, very nice cuts. Casual. If there's a chance we could stop in there. Tina

Well, I decided if I was really gonna *join* y'all, I should put up some pics of beady stuff;o) Here's pics of all 18prs of earrings I made for the holiday boutique; the other album has a beaded bead I accidentally made;o) I could use some help figuring out how to finish it, though! Don't know...

Ok so I'm taking my jewelry work in tomorrow to the real estate office (they may even put some stuff in the other 2 offices). My landlady has seen the necklaces I have and has oohed and ahhed over them. I know about taking the cost of materials, adding time, etc, BUT I'm having a heard time...

I'll be closing my Ruby Lane shop Dec 31-- several of the items that had been listed there for quite awhile (a couple of them since I opened the shop) sold at a Gallery sale earlier this month-- to me, that says that the on-line venue has something "wrong" with it. All these "sold" items are still...

Ok, so I'm thinking that in 2004 I will be ready to invest money and time into new beady directions. I'm wanting to try more with metal, and the kids are old enough to respect torches and glass, so I'm prepping for the plunge. I know how to go about the wire and PMC stuff, but please point me in...

I made a couple more *beggar* necklaces. They remind me of those beggar bead stories, so I've decided to call 'em that :o) Pics: Red: http://kylanicole.estore.wahmchicks.com/images/red_beggar_neck.jpg Amber: http://kylanicole.estore.wahmchicks.com/images/amber_beggar_neck.jpg Not the best pics,...

My typical bracelet is lampwork and bali silver. In the past year, I've used a lot of bead caps on my bracelets. For stringing, I've used the 7 strand Beadalon. I have one bracelet (no bead caps) that I've worn a LOT for probably about 4 years. Here's an example of a typical...

I won the ghostly Tink bead!!! Told y'all it was MINE!!!!!! Ok - off to catch up now. Kathy K

Kathy, I don't know what to say except to tell you that I care an awful lot about you and hope you have a better day today. KathyH "Kathy N-V" wrote in message ... Note: Long and whiny and no reply is...

Oh, good - I was hoping to make the text easier to red! Is the font too small at all? Thanks for looking Diana! -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... ...

Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I'm not dead or gone. There have just been a few too many changes in my life to keep up with this group. I did want to ask a question though...what happened to the page with the info on bead stores around the US? Was that in one of our yahoo...

I made some new bracelets over the last few days and I really like them. Two of them use the Mavis Smith beads I bought at the Bead Show on Sunday. I want to post the link to my website here so you can take a look (if you want to). Here's my question: Do I need to put "AD" in the subject line?...

Has anyone seen my muse? She was right here, and then *poof* I haven't seen her in several weeks. My poor beads are sitting neglected and I just have nada, zip, zero desire to make anything. After spending months with beading as a (happy) part of my daily routine, this kinda sucks. Anyone...

this is a new company i just found out about and i am so excited i want to share. it is a solar company that found a way to make just about any surface into a solar panel. check it out. http://www.xsunx.com/ alia :) www.auntbeep.com

I got her permission to share this with you all. She's on the way to the hospital as I type this, because her labor has progressed. She didn't ask, but I'm sure she'd appreciate all of our positive thoughts and prayers for a safe, healthy and quick delivery. She'll be giving me an update...

Hi everyone, Did anyone else see Friday's Oprah? She had a singer named Beyonce on (I think that's how you spell it). Anyway, they showed one of her album covers and the top? she had on was made of Swarovski crystals...no fabric...just the crystals. The sleeves looked like netting, and the...

I wonder what the final bid will be (other than outside my budget) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2660576528 -- Barbara www.penguintrax.com

Hi everybody! I'm back home after a week in Ohio. I'm amazed at how well the trip went, all things considering. One highlight was a sales call at Byzantium, which is one of the best bead stores in the land, as far as I am concerned!! They have a fabulous selection of beads and goodies, and now they...
