Hello- I'm starting to research various bead looms. I already have a small wood loom, but I want one that gives me some flexibility with project size and bead size. I'm seriously coinsidering looms from Bead Artistry, Beadlooms, and Hofmann Originals. I don't see any difference between Beadlooms...

I'm looking for an interchangable bead ring for lampwork beads. I have found one at Burgard Studio, Inc http://www.burgardstudio.com//. Has anyone found another source for this type of thing online or is Burgard the place to go? TIA! -- Beth http://workerbead.home.att.net

Hello all! From reading the group, I know some of you make your own findings. I'm thinking of purchasing sterling silver wire to do the same. It looks like 20 gauge wire will work best for my purposes, but I've hit a wall when faced with the delima of dead soft, full hard, and half hard (I hear...

Hi, I'm hoping someone here will know the artist that made these beauties. I bought them about 6 or 7 years ago. The colors are wonderful plus they're faceted. http://home.att.net/~mypal/pictures/91.jpg Thanks, Bettinaj http://www.justbeads.com/

Hello, I have just started using seed beads. I know very little about the different types (ex: toho, delica, tb, etc.) Would someone point me to a web site that gives basic information on the different types of seed beads? Also can you give me some recommendations on what you think are the best...

That's probably because they pay absolute bottom of the barrel wages. We are lucky. My MIL is in a good home and we have never had anything to complain about. Most of the staff has been there since she first went in about 3 years ago. This is always a good sign. If you notice a constant...

I'm really green (inexperienced) about beading. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now an am blown away with the techniques and selection of beads. I've visited some sites with wonderful finished work and some sites with very beautiful and expensive beads. I have "some" craft quality beads...
