I'm sorry I always seem to wait until the last minute to post bead show reminders! There will be an Intergalactic Bead Show in the Cincinnati, OH area this weekend. I hope to see some of you there! Please feel free to print the coupon from my website for a discount for admission at the...

Occasionally, folks have posted pics of their studios/work areas, and I always enjoy seeing other people's set-ups. Friday night, while playing around with the new camera, I got carried away and took some of my own, just for fun. Have a look, there are even bead pics :) This is what happens to...

Seems like I have to spend an awful lot of time on things other than actually melting stuff these days. I finally did take some pictures of beads I made earlier this week, and have posted them on my site: http://snipurl.com/4y35 I am REALLY happy with the dichro bead I've put up! And there are...

I thought the guitar string idea was brillant and the Epilady cracked me up, LOL. Thanks to Diane for providing the real thing! Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.." -- Counting Crows

Has anyone here ever written a successful press release? Care to share some pointers? Any thoughts about distribution methodology? Tink

I called the two consignment stores closest to me to see if they would put my jewelry on consignment, and both said that they wouldn't be interested. The first one said that they don't take beaded jewelry that people make themselves, the other said they just wouldn't be interested. Most of the...

I tell you either I'm getting slower or time is moving faster (personally I vote for the time/faster concept!) because I can't believe how long it's been since I've peeked in (or should I say PEEPed in) to say hi! Gadzooks, I even missed PEEP season this year (oh no!) I made a very cursory attempt...

I have been trying to work out a new spiral design and can't find one that I like. I started a new one using 6lb. fireline and I can't get the tension right. I think I will have to go back to using thread. Has anyone tried using fireline for spirals? Does anyone have any good Dutch spiral patterns...

Hi Y'all, Just a quick note to let you know I listed two new auctions on Friday night. I know, only two sets, but each set took me two days to make. Very ornately decorated lentils. My favorite, of course, would be "Adornare" in raku and black, but the other set I used my brand new "Leaky Pen"...

We have some box link bracelets with 10mm links. Kerry wants to put 4 charms on each and every link. I think that is overkill. Since these are for sale eventually, what do the buyers/makers of charm bracelets think? TIA Armand vine at snowcrest dot net

A LBS is advertising a Wire Working class with Dale Nichols for this week-end. The class assumes a knowledge of the basics, but will do a quick review. The project will be a pendant. The cost is $50 for four hours. I confess I am not familiar with Dale Nichols. Can anyone comment? Thanks, Jewitch

I spent an hour doing one of my favourite things this morning. I went to the antique fair with my youngest son. I got some beads. First was a blue and clear crystal necklace by "Exquisite" It is really pretty. Then I got two vintage crystal necklaces, one a single strand and one double strand.

Thank goodness my sister also picked up our other one from the car hire people! Anyway, I did what every self-respecting newbie to the age of digital photography does, I snapped some pics of my recent jewelry so I can be really embarrased at the quality when I actually master the art later on down...
