Hey everyone - I just wanted to let you all know that I will be pretty sporadic in my posting for a little while. There's a lot going on here - not the least of which is a sudden influx of orders coming in for lampwork. This is wonderful - keep them coming - but does make it hard to have time to...

I'm new to this beading thing and am noticing that the swarv beads are out there. Are they worth it or are they just an expensive designer bead and I can get the same quality from another bead? Thanks

Here is an example... Fall in love with a bead. It's a bit pricey for one bead. But when you check the other items available from that artist, you notice necklaces and find one that is similiar but comes with more beads. Is it okay to bid/buy that necklace and take it apart and do something...

I just had to share that Ophelia has done nothing for the last hour but attempt to entertain me by yelling, at the top of her voice and in various inflections, "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!" interspersed occasionally by "dog" and "Bob".
