I have just bought a beading mag which is produced in the UK, beads and Beyond and there was an article with a photo of Mike at the Towcester Flame off. It is great to know he is doing well. Cheers, Jan

I'm a gay man and I want to show my gayness to everyone on the next gay event.So I want to craft gay pride beads for me and my boyfriends. What do I need to craft a gay bead ?

So, I am making a sign on my loom. My husband and I volunteer for a museum in Maine, and when we go up there for more than one day, we stay right there at the museum in a little bunkhouse. A lot of the volunteers stay there and over the years one rule has developed, and the rule is "NO B.S!". So...

I will be running my sixth year of Susan G. Komen Foundation fund raising auctions on Justbeads.com, during the month of October. As in the past, there is something "very special" - this year it is NOT a heart set... The "special auction" will be listed for the entire month. In addition, I will...

My brother finally finished making me my triangle press...they will be listed on my site along with some other presses he is making me. Here is the first set I have made with the press...they are even better in person...I love the look of the silver as garland. Take a peek if you...

Hi all, hope everyone had a great holiday and a Happy New Year to all. So did anyone get a chance to check out my new rings and crosses?? I only have a few on, but hopefully by the end of the month I will have every months Birthstone rings, and at least 10 cross variations. Locally, by word of...

Somebody in this group has been making PC hearts with pearls/shells/ocean themed that was on the cover of I believe Polymer Cafe. Who was it, and what is the link to your work? Thanks! -- Karleen Page Member International Jewelry Designers Guild (IJDG) Vibrant Jewels:...

I would really like to make some earrings for toddlers with the screw on safety backs. Preferrably sterling and gold-filled. Are there any sources for something like this? I've searched far and wide, with no luck. Please respond if you have any clues. Thanks Cara :)

The memo that has "IMPEACH HIM" written all over it. The top-level government memo marked "SECRET AND STRICTLY PERSONAL", dated eight months before Bush sent us into Iraq, following a closed meeting with the President, reads, "Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove...

I needed a small hummingbird feeder for the up-coming season; I have a couple, but they're too huge. One holds almost 12 ounces and has 4 feeding ports -- which would be great if I had dozens of hungry hummers who weren't so damned territorial. The other is a lovely blown glass number: It was...

Can anyone out there recommend a (free) good spreadsheet program? Want to make up some schedules and think this would probably be the best way to do it. Tried a couple but DH seems to think most programs are incompatible with this windows based POS we have (been having to re-do and re-do...

Sorry for the second ad so soon after my other one but I got my tail in gear and got the listing posted sooner than I expected. Another earring set, if you so choose to make earrings with them.. They are made with Northstar's different purple shades but also have that effervescent effect I am...

Hi, everyone. I bought some really tiny toggle clasps a while back and they don't really work for what I thought I'd use them for (if that makes sense grammatically). They are sterling silver; the ring is 8mm in diameter and the bar is about 12.5mm long. I have 22 of them. Despite their size,...

I want to get into glass blowing, and was hoping to teach myself by starting out blowing glass beads. My question is, is it realistic that I can teach myself out of books and a little bit of trial and error, or am I doomed from the start and need to look for lessons? Also in your expert opinions,...

We've decide we don't care if half the day is already gone..we're driving to Chicago tonight! So, I'll be back just after the new year, eager to read all the new posts that will be clogging up my...I mean......nestled nicely in my OutLook express:-) I love you all, please play safe this holiday...

Glad you all are ok. Kathy K
