Hold on to your beads, everyone! I was disappointed in Whole Bead this year. My shopping list included the following: 5 strands of different blue gemstones for a class I'm teaching, some of the Pema Arts silver and gemstone beads for accent beads, some beads to make a necklace to honor the pink...

Well, you know I had to try a Faith bead! It took me three trys to get a head I was fairly happy with. I'm not sure about the roundell collar, since they are kind of stubby, stocky little...

hi everyone, this is my first time to post here. I've been making jewelry for about 3 years now. I normally just sell through my website at www.accessoriesbylisa.com or through craft shows. I only do about 5 - 6 shows starting in September (I find the spring and summer shows are too slow). ...

My birthday is on Sunday. No, this is not a ploy for birthday wishes, beads (well, maybe, lol), but a question. I'm changing decades this year and I find myself really depressed about it. Does anyone else get depressed on their birthdays, especially big ones? Normally, I'm not depressed about...

Okay, I wanted to keep this to myself because I was embarrassed but I can't. I ordered a bead making video just to help me with my newbie experiences. It makes so much sense on the techniques I was doing wrong that I GET IT NOW. Yippee! I just finished some lovely beads and will be putting...

Okay, the Bali Silver question didn't hurt at all, so I have a couple of other questions ... I learned a lot from the discussion about Fire Mountain Gems, and have decided to be selective about what I order from there. To be honest, I want to stay on their mailing list, because I get a lot of...
