Hello, I'm new to this group. I am looking for beading patterns (mostly for seed beads.) Does anyone know of any good websites that offer free beading patterns as there is very little available where I live. I would be most grateful. thank you, Shirna

I've been busy making necklaces this week. I have three so far..a very simple one, and two slightly more elaborate ones. there's also a new bead gremlin that was done last week for a lady who had admired one I'd made before. http://www.serpentsdance.com/thisweekswork.htm -amber.

Hi, I've been lurking since I found this group shortly after I started beading about 6 months ago, when I took my first class. Since then, I've been to my first bead show (the Interglactic Bead show), and taken a mini wire and knotting class. One of the first things I did after I got into this...

Hi everybody! I haven't been around here much at all lately, have popped in briefly but mostly I've been very very busy learning and stretching on many levels...some physical, some mental..some just old patterns being let go and changed. I've always been a little leery of machines..and so they...

My wife and I found some beads in an estate sale box that are new to us. A very old (90+) jewelry maker had them stashed for who knows how long. I have a pretty good picture, but no place to provide a link. They are sort of frosted glass with white raised dots on them, and translucent glass with...

I just posted a new boro set to e-Bay. The listing is for a set of varying sized beads in a colour theme of beiges and blues. It seems weird to make those two colours plural but once you see the beads you'll understand how difficult it is to pin one colour on them as a descriptor. The listing is...

Beading is so hard for me, with my diminishing sight ... what used to take hours, takes days, but I do have a small collection going up in a few days, and will probably put them up for sale on ebay. Some collars, one really fancy and several amulet bags and a necklace, earring, bracelet set,...

I bought some Soft Touch wire to use on my pearls and it's very fine (.010 diameter). My question is, can I crimp on it, or is it too fine to crimp on? I usually use the Soft Flex and use that to crimp, but since I'm using pearls and crystals, I thought the Soft Touch would be good. Valerie

Walk a mile in my shoes.... The polymer clay community has to be one of the worst concerning the copying battle. To most of them...if they can see it...they can try to copy and sell it.

They are really being wonderful, and I...
