Instead of making beads I decided to put them into a few designs http://snipurl.com/e8of take a peek. One is full of flair and dangles the other is simple yet elegant. Have a great evening everyone! Denise www.glassbeadz.com

Yay! Yippee! Su, Mike and I did a trade and Mike sent me three lovely beads for my collection. I love them all, but my favorite is the blue one. It is divine. Mike does dots so well! They also included some Plowden & Thompson glass, knowing how much of a collector I am. I can't wait till I'm...

Got back from my trip to Portland late last night. The main reason for the trip was to take Kalera's intermediate bead making class. (of course I made sure I had a day or so to explore also!) The class was WONDERFUL! I learned tons and we had so much fun! There were 3 students and class was...

Well, we can now look forward to tons of unwanted postings to newsgroups. Apparently, there is a program out that bulk posts to newgroups, just like email spam. Isn't that exciting? I just spotted a sample of its handiwork on the polyclay newsgroup. How the Hel are we supposed to report abuse...

I've found an available domain name that I really like and, taking someone's advice, it is more specific to content (beady name). Having done many searches I have found a few (3) similar names... one simply says 'under construction' but the record (name) was first issued to them in 2003. Another...

Hi all! I just wanted to show you some of the things I have been working on recently. I'm pretty excited about them, especially the Seahorses. Lots of fun to make, but only about one out of three manages to survive. Thank you for...

I have someone who bought some lampwork off eBay (only been selling for about a month now on eBay) and someone from out of country bought some beads. This was last Thursday, I sent her an email with a response with regards to shipping. I then thought I should send her an email just ensuring that...
