There is somebody on eBay selling beads in this catagory, and "confirming" the listing by saying it is made by her with any of three premium glass brands, with a specific mandrel size (but also as "large holed"-- larger than that mandrel) and kiln annealed. They look like somewhat "selected" and...

No, this isn't off topic. My favorite new beading tool is a Butler Dental Floss Threader -- not the white kind that looks like a teenage mutant toothpick, but the blue kind with a big loop and about a 2 inch stiff end. My bead crochet teacher gave us all one and said they were useful in...

Hi, Tonight I was looking at a site that has some Swarovski beads in colors I have never heard of before, let alone seen. I am wondering if any of you have heard of any of these colors: Scarabee, Ambrosia, Roman Bronze, Hadium, Black Lace, or Carousel 2B? Is there a list of actual DS Swarovski...

We talked about this a while back and it seemed like a popular idea. And I saw it was mentioned the other day as well - so I say let's do it!! Let me know if you are interested in participating. Once I get an idea of how many are interested etc I'll set up the details. Now put your beaded...

I stopped over at Michael's today to pick up clear glass Christmas balls. I want to make some beaded ornament drapes for presents for co-workers. I got one last week and it was 79¢. Today they were signed 59¢. I'm thinking "Wah hoo" and I picked up 18 of them. I get up to the sales terminal and...

There are a group of so called ladies here, who find it impossible to accept constructive critisim and out right honesty. All the vulgarities, and parochial name calling is beyond belief. But then again, what can be expected from such creatures that cannot sit, stand or even meet others in public...

You might want to change what it says on your eBay Me page, since you state there that you've been lampworking "alomst three years". According to this, that's about double reality, and therefore false advertising: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Newsgroups: rec.crafts.beads From: "saucy"...

Oh, and you must have a strong stomach for the marketing method. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=teresa_rocks&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 or (if link above breaks) http://snurl.com/2bfn Some really cool lots of stones though. -- Tanya

Thanks for the warning because I need to mail a couple of bags of bott boi noodles to a friend in California. This just means I keep my mouth shut at the post office about what's inside of it. Ya never know when an Amish food product could be used as a weapon............. "vj" ...

Earlier tonight I was making myself a business card, and couldn't for the life of me come up with a name for my "business". How did you guys who have your own businesses come up with names? I am an all around crafter...not just beads. I can sew, paint, decorate, etc, so I would want a name...

Just want to show off the bracelet made with fresh water pearls and crystals (the light rose crystals are mine - thank you Letrinka!) that my customer gave me. I hope it pleases her. Guess I'll know in two hours! eek I better get myself cleaned up. Front...

People have been telling me there's been some ______ behavior going on. I have not named names, but I couldn't stand it anymore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ORPHANBEADS Some people who've got the resources to buy at regular bead suppliers have been buying at orphanbeads. (One actually has her...
