This has come to my attention.....not because anyone here asked in the last
week, but because of those who contact their fellow beadmakers asking for tips.

If you don't know how to photograph your beads, learn. Google it. Research
it. Do NOT email fellow jewelry-makers or lampworkers, asking them how to do
it.

How in the world do you get the nerve to ask them to teach you how? Does
Angelina Jolie give lessons on how to be sexy to J.Lo? Hell NO. They are
COMPETITORS. Does Usher give Justin Timberlake tips on how to have a hit
record? NO! They are COMPETITORS.

How can you ask someone who's competing with you for customers to help you do
this? Don't you realize you're asking them how to make you a BIGGER THREAT to
their income?

SERIOUSLY. Are you even thinking at ALL???????? Do you go to the girlfriend
of the guy you like, and ask her, "How can I get him to be MY boyfriend? What
does he like in bed?"
