Earlier this week, we adopted a new kitten that our next door neighbor has been trying to talk us into taking for a week. They had dubbed her "Precious", but that just doesn't fit our style. What I need help with is finding a name for her. The only two rules we have are that it's not "cutsie"...

Can anyone tell me what kind of beads were used in the lamp from the movie "Blue"? I'd like to make a lamp like that. Perhaps someone can also tell me where to find such beads? Thanks. Please respond to the list, not my e-mail.

My best friend's birthday is in a week, and she loves garnet. I've given her many piences with garnet and pearls, and plain old garnet and silver, and I'm bored to pieces. Anyone have some combinations that will go well with garnet (and silver, if possible), and will add a little life to this...

Hoping to make Mike's beads more visible to a wider audience, I've listed a few on JustBeads. I hope you enjoy looking at them, there are a few of the newer beads he's been working on tucked in the sets. Thanks for looking and as always, feedback is much appreciated. -Su

I've been gone for quite awhile. I am not sure many people noticed that, but after several months of feeling awkward here, I decided to take a small leave. I was honestly thinking about completely leaving and not even reading posts here. But since several of my close friends have been active in...

I've been wondering about a few things for a while and I think you all will have my answers. Thanks in advance for what I know will be a mind-blowing response! Love this group! First, how important are lampwork spacers in an auction. Are more better or should I not be wasting my time? All the...

Several of the auctions I have up on eBay are ending in a few hours. Kinda sucks.. lots of watchers and no bids! oh well! =) I'm just glad the enjoyment in making them has nothing to do with selling! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsaxonQ5fcreek Polly

What color(s) say SPRING to you, in beads, jewelry, and---- anything? (I thought it would be fun, and enlightening, for us to talk about color....especially since in a lot of the USA & Europe, at least, it's awfully grey right now.)

....for my itchy eyes. I know they make me loopy but I kind of forgot how loopy exactly. I am, basically, high as a kite so if I post anything odd tonight you now know why. Ewwwww I think I need to go sleep it off! -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com

That you can't buy from everyone? I just wish I could buy something from everyone's auctions or sites. I like their work and because I want to suppor their art, but budget just won't dictate it. It's frustrating and I actually feel guilty about it. You? -- Barbara

Hmmmm...part mad scientist, part divine inspiration. Looks like the perfect place to be creative, regardless of what you call it. :-) "vj" wrote in message ... every one else has work space. Oran insists we have a 'lab'.

It must have been the day. You should step away from the torch when... 1. Every piece of glass going into the flame breaks into a jillion pieces from thermal shock - even when it's heated well 2. The new tool you just purchased is winning a battle of wits with you 3. All colors turn to mud 4. ...

All I wanted to do was come here to rcb and learn to make beaded fringe for my lamp. I dont know that I got oodles of help for that, of course I didnt ask to many questions either, but the good people and stimulating conversation here, along with all the absolutely divine beads and beaded works I...

Ok, she's kind of, uh, not pretty, but I couldn't reisist: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/cg1.jpg http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/cg2.jpg -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com

Hubby came home the other day and saw DD and I out in the yard with the plastic pumpkin, and he yelled, "What animal are you torturing now?" He knows me so well. Butterbean's hoping people will drop carrots into the trick or treating pail: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/happyhalloween04.jpg

I think I need some time away from groups and the computer. I'm just becoming so stressed by everything, the Horrible Sibs, Mike's health, our son was pushed over yesterday at school and has a face like a boxer today, my daughter announced she's getting a divorce and I'm just too far away to help...

Well, I know stress is bad for you but I hadn't realized how much the Horrible Siblings were affecting me until Friday. My neck always gets stiff if I'm stressed. Just the muscles at the top of the shoulder from the shoulder itself to the neck. It's a barometer of my frustration. Friday I...

Hi, everyone. I've been lurking for a long time and thought I'd post. My name's Julie Schneider and I'm from Portland, OR. I'm fairly new to beading - though I've been doing all sorts of crafts, including beading, on and off since I was a kid. I love seed beading and do some stringing and...

There are two things on my mind right now... one, obtaining ceviche from the local taqueria, which has added it to the menu for the summer, and two, finding more things to electroform! This is about the most fun ever. Being able to combine it with faceting makes me positively gleeful! This week I...
