One of the crafty women in the building I live in asked me to teach her to bead. She crochets, knits, does collage and ceramics and even paints, but she had no experience with the tiny little jewels we are all addicted to. She has come over the last 3 evenings and I taught her spiral stitch,...

My hubby got me the Coraling Technique book for Christmas and I just made this piece: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/pinknecklace.jpg The picture doesn't do it justice. The beads are irridized and sooooooooooo sparkly. You can see it on the swarovski, but not on the beads. I have a pink...

Darn news reader seems to have lost messages on me. Had to go look them up on Google Groups. I don't currently have any smaller filigree beads and don't have time to clay for a week or 2 yet, but I will add them to my to-do list. They were really just an experiment to see if I could and I...

web info regarding making your own mardi gras stands? I am just curious if it is cheaper to buy the beads, etc and make my own. I would like to use different sizes (7mm plus), styles (round, disco, heart, etc), and preferrably shiny. Lengths from 33 to 60 inches. Is there a machine or simple...

I just put some new stuff up on my "New Stuff" website. There are two black-ended beads featuring the new Moretti Coral and an incredible (even if I do say so myself) purple bead with pure silver inclusions that is just magical. I hope you like...

Accidentally hit "send" before I was done. Sorry about that :( Anyway - I've apparently gone clay crazy. Every Friday night is now devoted to polymer clay. Now that I've been a bit more serious about reading instructions (heh!) and trying new techniques and the like, I'm getting pretty good...

They are just strung, and putting the...

I've just put up two small sets on Justbeads - Carnaby Street (pink, orange and purples - mod!) and some fauxpals on soft medium blue. I can totally relate to Tink's ranks about winter and cold - makes work in the studio so unpleasant and life just so generally more difficult. But finally, after a...
