I have never made my own beads. I would love to take a class in lampworking. Do you have any recommendations of schools or studios in the Sacramento, California area? Any advice about getting started? Thanks! Heather

Okay Becki, You asked for it, here it is, the latest set I made. The pink beads are those cute tab beads that Marjean sells in her ebay shop. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisacaryl/ I haven't posted here in ages and no one prolly knows who I am except for Sooz, maybe. I also have a box there that...

I am a bead maker and also I do a lot of off loom bead weaving. I make jewelry using my own lampwork, off loom bead weaving and my own hand spun yarn. I use a lot of recycled wine bottles for my lampwork beads and I enjoy the process. Recently, I have created my own blog...

I did a search for FM to see what was being said (thought these were current posts) and found the most hysterical rantings of our past. We used to be very funny, LOL. Many of them are like all internet postings of the 90's -- they deteriorated into discussions that had nothing to do with the...

I was reading the thread about Fire mountain. Most were unhappy. I use delicas and Japanese Size 11 Seed beads and was wondering if these type of beads were ok or were they like seconds?

I'd seen these tree pendants for years and had meant to get around to trying to make one of my own. I'm going to be teaching a wire jewlry class to an arts program that my DD is in, so I thought this might be a good project for the kids (ages 9-14) and finally I gave it a try. I love them. ...

I need to restring 2 long strands of what I think are old Venetian glass. They are about 9mm, and are baroque rounds with silver foil. The strands are probably 36 inches or more long. They were originally knotted. The holes seem a bit rough and are about 1.5mm. Would knotting again be the best...

hello everyone i am in search of the beads that are the big foil types. they sort of look cracked underneith the surface of coloured glass. (for those that dont know, but most of you would so its just a precaution). Anyway, i cant seem to find any on the net or at a local shop for cheap. So i...

I have some large bills coming up and so I'm selling some stuff on Ebay. More will be posted tomorrow. I know I would make more money if I made this stuff into jewelry myself and sold the jewelry, but I don't have time for all that, LOL. And so I am selling off some of my jewelry...

I know folks in this group have some definite opinions on Fire Mountain Gems and the whole issue of how/under what conditions gemstone beads are produced. I'm looking for some nice carnelian beads, and I've found some nice African carnelian ones at Gilbert & Frech. Does anyone know anything...

Hi guys, I finally got out and took pictures of some of the items that I have made recently and will be selling at Christmas sales. I will probably end up restringing the older ones or swap out the findings later on. Haven't decided just yet. I think part of is just getting over the "Sigh, have to...
