I'm back from my honeymoon, and I'm exhausted. It was GREAT -- and parts sucked, too. I never tell the world at large when I'm about to leave, only tell when I get back. (It's not smart to announce that one's house will be empty for several days or weeks....) So Hi, you guys! ...

GO AWAY!! Whoever it was who said that year of origami model making makes a great gift is spot on! (it was this one www.foldedsquare.co.uk but the thread is old) I gave it to a friend and they love it :-) Ha, they also gave me a flapping bird! Just to say thanks for the idea Take care...

Hi, folks! Time for the monthly update on new 'stuff' at Trash City, since we know that by the end of the weekend you'll probably be fed-up with barbecues, visiting relatives, and sunning yourselves, and keen to take shelter in the cool, quiet world of Internet shopping. We know we will! ;-) We're...

I was looking at Helen's beads http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2693741464&category=34070 and remembering the Fonda/Clark that Beki Haley had up last week (that Pat Hauge beat me out of, the bitch, LOL). And I wanted to say to you all that I love sculptural flower beads. I...

Hee hee...I thought that subject line would get your attention! I'm sure all of you that visit this board on a regular basis know Jerri (Beadbimbo) has a pet guinea pig named Butterbean. Well, yesterday while I was at the torch, I attempted to make my first Bear Fetish in keeping with the little...

Hi there! Can anyone give me some advice as to the best way to anchor a beaded handle? I'm making a trinket box and would like to attach beaded handles to both sides however I'm having a little trouble making a strong anchor on the inside of the box. I've been told to use a "flat bead" and while...

Hi all, After a busy weekend, I got to play with beads a little, and I found these instructions on the net for a dutch spiral. I thought I would try it, but I'm not sure this is rignt: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/ds.jpg Isn't it suppose to have sort of a ruffly look? I think I'm...

Hi, I don't write very many articles, because I'd rather be creating. I have an article "Coloring Outside The Fireline" in the April 2009 issue (coming out immediately) of Bead & Button magazine, pages 18 & 19. We have such a wonderful choice of colors in the bead threads, now you can have them...

I had a new computer before Christmas, but DS did not have time to transfer all thing from new to old. I am wishing you all a belated New year since I could not do it before. Tomorrow I celebrate my 74th birthday. Will not be going anywhere because we have had a lot of snow and it is still...

Stay safe, Vicki!! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "vj" wrote in message ... I will be with Oran and Grace if this gets any closer.

Okay. You just cashed in the winning state lotto ticket. The amount they awarded you -- after taxes -- is $25 million. What beady project will you indulge in? Not what beads will you buy -- that's only part of the answer. What will you *do* with those beads? ~~ Sooz The things that will...

Here's some new stuff I worked on this weekend. I got the clasp from an Eni Oken tutorial, but I'm really proud of myself on the pendant. I kept studying the ring pictures, on her site, and I don't know if I did it exactly like she does, but I was pretty impressed with myself for figuring out...

This was in a 2007 issue of Bead and button, and I wanted to make it, but didn't have the oval crystals. I finally got some, so here it is: www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/beadsandvines1asm.jpg I would say it kind of has a design flaw in that the ends flop around, and I really don't like that. I...

Hi everyone, I made this set yesterday since I didn't have much time on the 'puter. It's amazing what one can get done without distractions! Anyhoo, I plan to wear it on my trip to New Hampshire next month when I visit my friend LN. Lol...I even planned the length of the necklace to go with the...

I feel so lost lately. Yes my health issues have been affecting me working at all but I just feel lost. I can't make anything that looks worth a darn and my interest is severely lacking. I know I haven't lost it for good because I'm fascinated with glass. The chemistry, the feel, the different...
