My wife has created a bunch of patterns using Micro Macrame. She was looking for patterns online and found that she couldn't find hardly any. So she decided to start creating her own. I'm good at building websites, so I helped her post her new patterns online. You can find them at a...

Hello, I am trying to make a Mala, but am unable to finish the loop back through the 3 hole god-bead. The god-bead has 3 holes with 90 degree bends like a T...the idea is to start in through the center hole going out through one of the side holes, then you add your other beads and finish the loop...

Interpreting Your Coupons All you need for this tutorial is a stack of (manufacturer) coupons--as many or as little as you like. We will start with the Anatomy of a Coupon--place a coupon in front of you, so that the bar code is at the bottom, and you can see the segments of numbers below the...

I got my Czech crystals today! OK, so I have to say... if the Swarovski people aren't wetting themselves yet, they should be. Although the cutting isn't *quite* as fine or precise, (there is ever so slightly more room around the holes, and there are a few more rejects than I normally see in a...

Happy Birthday, dear Sooz, Happy Birthday to you! And welcome to 50! Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu! I hope you're having a wonderful day. Cheers, Carla

I was so sorry to read about Sooz - she was so encouraging to me when I first joined RCB. I have looked for her to post off and on for the last few years and often wondered where she was and how she was doing. I am sorry to see such an update :(. So sorry to see your update too - Tina - please...

Is it ok to put silver jewelry with swarovski crystals into a tumbler with stainless steel shot? thanks!

Now with hind sight I wished I had. I have just been rummaging behind my beading desk to see if I could find the wire knitter that I have. I pulled out a box and in are 31 vintage crystal necklaces with a total of 48 strands. These were antique fair finds. I got to be known as the lady who was...

Linda asked us old timers to call in and say hi. The death of my beloved Sooz prompts me to do so. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm still beading and selling my jewelry. My focus this year is a bit more on writing. I've been published quite a lot and am currently studying at the Hagley Writers'...

I'm working on a set of small crocheted bags, not round ones, but flat bags, if that makes any sense, and I'd really like to add some Austrian crystals to them...fringe and the like.....the problem is, I don't have a whole lot to spend, and in order to get the best possible prices, I'd need to buy...

hey there! I just moved and refurbished my friend Laura's website and added a lot of images to her slide show of beaded dolls and jewelry. I saw what she's working on currently when I visited yesterday, and can't wait to get pictures--a stunning mermaid, with completely beaded tail, LOADS of...
