I've been working on a netted cuff bracelet, following Diane Fitzgerald's excellent instructions from her book "Netted Beadwork". I finished the cuff and moved on to the embellishing. I started the netted pom-pom flower, following Diane's instructions but no matter what I do I do not get a...

Hi all, I've listed some new bead sets on Justbeads this week. Including some relists, and my usual sets. The new beads are Lemonade, Man-o-war, and Oceanis. All are inspired by spring here in FL, which just seems to be getting hotter and hotter as the season rolls by! So as a result I spend more...

I have tried beadweaving and can do the basics now. I will keep at it. I have tried beadstringing and it's okay, but not challenging enough. Took a couple of weeks to get my crimping down. LOL I have tried wire and will continue to practice practice practice. I did my "research" and find that...

I've been Bracelet'ed for No Reason! I am now the proud owner of Vicki's wirework bracelet that she posted about awhile ago (no link! I lost the thread). It is absolutely gorgeous and it fits me *perfectly* too! Vicki took pity on me when I couldn't stop telling her how pretty it was, LOL! Vicki,...

Kathy, I love your stories! Jan "Kathy N-V" wrote in message ... Yesterday, Bob was trying to distract me during the stress test by complaining about my "stupid" dog. Apparently, when we had all that snow on ...

Hello All! New auctions for polymer, lampwork and ceramics have just launched. All kinds of things for everyone, including some nice lampwork sets, a gorgeous strand of polymer clay beads called "Teal Satin Ribbons", and another of those manatee tail dichroic focals. Some links below to get you...

Hi-I've never posted hear before but enjoy reading the posts. I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm heading to NY City the end of April and was wondering if anyone could recommend some 'must go to' bead shops and or wholesalers. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, pam

Well, I have a craft show to do this weekend and my best efforts to make something with wire and crimps ( I just paid 22 dollars for a pair of crimp pliers) and nothing looked good enough to sell. I just ended up putting it away and went back to bead weaving. This is the biggest show I've done,...

There is a whole line of Dobermans with narcolepsy -- and it's not unknown in Dachshunds. Are you sure Sophie is not an undercover Doberman? She could've dyed her hair and be scrunching down .... As for the other stuff, clearly the cardiologist doesn't have dogs. None of us here see anything at...

Here's the latest necklace that I finished earlier today. I don't have the earrings made yet, just the necklace. http://vinceaholic.topcities.com/crystalpearl.jpg Valerie

There are some new pieces on my tole page. A cut out rose pendant which I'm rather proud of, a new kitten, Midnight with Strawberries; the new purple/black Sweetheart set already sold, but I can make more to order. Here's the link: http://www.galleryvittoria.com/catalogue.shtml I have a new...

Hey guys! I just wanted to check in and let you guys know I'm still alive. My MIL finally left yesterday. I had a great time with cousin Betty though and MIL hardly got on my nerves after the first couple of days. I did ask DH to please ask her to stop commenting on a few things and that helped...

Last night and still this morning, I can't get to any Just Beads sites. Anyone else having this problem? Tina

Ok since some of you are having trouble seeing the pic through my website, I've uploaded it into my yahoo photo's. I *think* you'll be able to see it there. Here's the...

What is the best way to learn to make jewerly? I know it's probably different for each person but do you prefer magazines, books or actual hands-on classes?

For those of you who know Carol from Salt Lake City, Utah what), her chiquahua (don't yell at me for the spelling I don't know how to spell it and don't have time to look it up) died today. Colby was only 9, and Carol is devastated. emails and condolences welcome to her...

These are a few of the newest creations I have finally finished sanding and buffing to a really nice glossy finish. The Faux Frit Gold on Black was an experiment and the mica shift really shows up nicely (probably better in person though). There are a few new pendant and focal styles I have been...
