I love making these animal (tiger) beads...so I thought I'd make another set...a large set of lentils with plenty of spacers to mix and match with. Take a peek if you...

Hi Y'all, Well I finally got to the torch for the first time since the storm. It felt really good to make some beads for the first time in what felt like ages! We took another direct hit and survived the hurricane with little damage to our home, but the worst of our woes came when a wire shorted...

ive just received my first lampwork beads ever:D http://img472.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moje2ys.jpg they are green and blue, and so small and cute:) i had so many plans for them, but now i dont know what to do, everything seems too common for them:) cindy also included one blue bead with...

I am trying to clean up my beading stuff and am at a loss as to how to conveniently store my beading wire spools. I keep all my beading stuff in sectioned plastic cases that then fit into two large tool boxes. So far so good until I look at all the wire that is laying rather willy nilly in...

I know it has been ages since I have updated my site but I am working on it a bit today and tomorrow. There is an image of a purple bracelet I made last night. It is big time purple! I love how it turned out. I'll post later if I make new changes but in the meanwhile I'd like to...

Hello Friends, We had to put mom back in the hospital again and she came home this weekend, so we are all having to do extra to help out. Plus one of the meds she is on costs $437 for 9 days worth! Talk about sticker shock! So I haven't had time to list the rest of my new Sea Shards kits and...

I've been junk-pile cleaning and I found 2 of those AOL boxes with the magnetic fold-over side lid. Who was it in here that wanted those? Besides the woman who just took out the magnets? lol... Email me, both of you, with your snail mail addys and I'll send them out to y'all. :) Linda

oh my----this artist makes the most incredible fashion doll outfits, including the beady jewelry..and gloves...and shoes..and hats...the pics themselves are way cool. This isnt my auction in any way---but I wanted to point out such wonderful work!! Here's her "about me" page with all the...

I'm kind of new at this and I am working with 16 ga. wire and making a pin. How do I make the bar pointed so it will go through fabric without damaging it? I don't want to solder a lighter weight wire if I can avoid it. thanks, annb

I've just put up 3 focal/ focal sets - Forest Floor Tapestry, very organic in ivory, golds, greens and blues Guilded Into It - Fuschia frit embellished with gold leaf and topped with clear and violet dots Strawberry Twist - pale pink and a reddish terracota. Thanks as always for having a...

Hello to everyone! Greetings from the far north. I just returned from two wonderful, productive days in a hot shop blowing glass!! What a rush that was! I have been trying to keep up with my posts on eBay, so if you are interested and could spare a minute, I have listed this weeks offerings below. ...

Hi all, I know I've been away for awhile - missed lots of birthdays, comings-and-goings, ups and downs of you all. I offer congrats, well-wishes, sympathy and hugs for those who need/want them. It has been an incredibly busy period for me. Between things going nuts at work, and getting ready...

Lots to tell you about! I got a new torch a little while back and my eBay store has been busy place since! http://stores.ebay.com/JC-Herrell-Glass I have a couple of sets of beads ending this weekend but also a whole bunch of new boro pendants, including a few sea turtles, which I'm really...

I have just begun to string beads, but I am a little awkward (and stuck) about the ends. I threaded back through a ring, then a decorative little silver ball, and then a 2mm crimp. I clamped the crimp and cut off the excess thread. Is that it? Do I do the same at the other end? Once the...

Here is a listing that was up before, but the pics were really bad...so I am trying this again. Wow is typing hard...I just sliced my finger on a knife that I had just sharpened...now I know why I keep them dull:D!! Here it is if you want to take a...

Has anyone heard from her? A friend of mine is trying to reach her but gets no response. I thought I'd ask here. -Ellen

As I had some space as well as a lot of peace and quiet I finally got around to making something I had in mind for a while: http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/~maren/palms_etc/pictures/jt015.jpg and as this went quite well I also made a similar one with brown job's tears, but I don't have a picture of...

Hi, Best wishes for an outstanding Thanksgiving (or just a beautiful day for those of you who may not celebrate). Please share - what are you grateful for this year???? I'm grateful for my friends and family, RCB, and having a year to practise beading. Peace, Lilyflower
