January 31, 2005 Greetings fellow beadmakers and bead lovers! I just found this group on Google today and am really excited! I wanted you to know that there is a new series titled "Beads, Baubles, and Jewels" that has been shot and "Bead Style" magazine is asking fellow beadophyles to e-mail...

I normally don't bother to endorse an online beadshop in a public forum, but this was a bit unusual. In pursuit of rainbow moonstone beads, I stumbled across www.exoticindia.com and decided to try a modest order. I mean, it's got to be cheaper coming from the source country? It arrived here in...

We are all aware of the type of troll who posts childish obscenities to multiple groups and most of us recognise as trolls those who post general flames but there is a far worse kind of troll out there. These trolls appear on the surface to be normal posters and are certainly familiar with the...

I found an awesome deal on a slightly-used Barracuda... and even though I was doing a good job of resisting the lure of moving to Barracuda-land, I could resist no longer. That baby is MINE ALL MINE! And hot. Whoa, it's hot! The flame is smaller and tighter than the Midrange/Minor, but has a lot...

I know I haven't been around much recently, but I haven't forgotten you guys. And I have some good news -- tomorrow I have an appointment with a gallery owner! Right now this is only so that I can get into their monthly "artisan shows", but if I can sell well in those, there's the possibility that...

Anyone know why metal beds cost way more than wood beds?? I've been looking for a nice silvery(chrome, pewter etc) metal bed and I'm stunned at some of the prices. Geez. Good thing I don't mind comparison shopping :) Kathy K

I just got back from my second ultrasound:) They changed my date to something more in line with what I'd been thinking--it went from August 6th to July 29th. So I'm 14weeks 5 days now, I believe. Our fetal hitchchiker is an active tyke--lots of two-footed kicks and hands going above the head. I...

Hi all - I'm posting from my crappy day job using my Google mail addy but..... I'm interviewing for a job this afternoon right after I leave here. Please spare me half a second to send me some positive thoughts. I really need to get out of this place! And this interview is for a bank I'd like to...

I have a request to make a bracelet for a friend's niece who's 6. I've never made a bracelet for a kid - so - what would be the best material to use? I want it to be strong but also safe. Thanks! Kathy K

Hi everyone! It's been a crazy day, drove down to Tucson to find my space with the AzSGB gang, unloaded most of the stuff but there was a group decision to set up tomorrow morning. Cool beans, headed home and diverted to a way cool "store" that sells old southwestern architectural goodies (like...

On Saturday Linda 2 and a friend of hers took Karen (my daughter who introduced herself recently) to a local bead show. Thank you Linda, she enjoyed it very much. She bought herself some seed beads and a couple of other things, including some beads for my birthday present. We talked on the...

I am a wee bit tuckered out from all that beadmaking (my new torch inspired a frenzy of beadmaking, of course, so I made more than usual) so I will make it short and sweet... I have beads! A LOT of beads, actually. Focals, sets, pendants, and a marble (the first I've offered for sale, in fact). I...

OK my dryer has the lint trap on top of the dryer. The trap itself is long. So when I go to clean it I pull it out and little bits of lint go everywhere (I don't think this is the best design for a lint trap). Bleh. So any creative suggestions on how I can control the flying loose lint? ...

Anyone heard of this group? I got an invitation to join, but I don't recognize the inviter. Just curious. Kathy K

sorry about the lack of a subject it was supposed to be a reply to VJ's post on Google phone listings. I guess I hit the wrong button. Armand

Just wanted to remind everyone that these beauties are ending this evening. Don't miss out! ;) ~Dressed to Kill~ This is the type of bead that happens when inspiration hits and the pictures just don't do it justice. It is absolutely drop dead gorgeous (hence the name)! I showed this beauty to a...

Polydays Newsflash!!! The British Polymer Clay Guild are planning two days of claying heaven workshops for 1-3 April. There are loads of workshops. As well as several miniatures workshops - make a cockerel, a dragonfly, or a fishy feast, there is also silver clay workshops and demos, and we are...
