Have you ever wondered what people thought about you work? That is, people who go to your website, but don't necessarily read RCB? I used to have a commenting utility on my blog -- which never got used. I suspect that was because the few people who bothered to read my blog didn't have an opinion...

Hi all. I am hoping someone here knows of a good (fast drying) glue that would glue fabric to glass (beads). I have a project idea, but I cannot seem to find a glue that will work for me. Super glue is out as I will glue my fingers to the bead!!!! The fabric will be under tension and twisted,...

I have a couple auctions ending tonight (no bids yet :(). They're relists, so this is your last chance on these at a great price! ~Magnolia Vase~ This vase shaped bead was inspired by all the magnolia trees in bloom in my neighborhood. This vase shaped focal has a gray core wrapped in shades...

I need to get about 300m of stiff, rigid clear/transparent beading wire/nylon/monofilament for a wedding beading project. Is there any cheap alternative to something like Tigertail? Have tried fishing-line shops but the line is too supple for what I want. It has to be stiff. I'm in the UK btw.

I have some lentil shaped teapots and a fused dichroic pendent up. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZrustired Thanks, Rustired -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio

There was a (new to me) Bead Designer named Vicki Star on the DIY network this week. She demonstrated a lovely herringbone flower bracelet which can be found on her website. http://www.vickistar.com/index.html She has lots of tiny pouch designs, too. Vicki also teaches at LBSs in Ohio. I thought...

Well, as usual I'm running behind, but this time I really have a good excuse. We had someone here this morning evaluating Aiden for speech delay and they just left a few minutes ago. I know he's only 19 months, but I'm starting to get concerned and felt I needed to have him evaluated. Good thing I...

I have to take Cosmo to the vet today, and I am NOT looking forward to he. He HATES having his nails done. Screams like a banshee, all the while yelling "Help! Ow! No!" It's not a pretty scene. And of course he will hate me for weeks, if not months, and will tell everyone who will listen how bad I...

Tonight I went through my soft-glass sets that are up in my Glassartists.org gallery, and gave a brief outline of the glass colors/materials used in making each one. I thought a few people might find it interesting/useful, so if you want to check it out, here's the...

We took off some time over Easter to have a breather from all the stress of life, and now Mike's safely locked in the shed with his newly reorganized stack of glass rods, so it's time for some new bead auctions: They are all seven-day auctions. Thanks for looking! eBay bead...
