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...

Today, I took a few necklaces to a Fine Jeweler in town. My intention wasn't to sell, but wanted a professional opinion. I was extremely tickled when they absolutely loved my stuff. They went on and on about how well made it was, they loved the clasps, etc. etc. Yes, I could sit here and boast...

How many of you wear your own jewelry, and which types do you wear? Me, I only wear bracelet and earrings. I think I look silly in necklaces so I don't wear but a simple small chain with maybe a bead or small embellishment on it. I guess for this reason I don't make many necklaces - but I...

I have made the bracelet on the cover of the B&B. However can I as heck get it up on my website. Do not know what I am doing wrong. Help will be at hand since my son David will be coming home tomorrow so I will enlist his help. The tutor I have for my computer classes has had a heart attack so...

To all you PC artists: I received these questions today about my husband's beads/pendants: "A question regarding the finishing of the polymer clay beads if you will: just how are they finished? Are they sanded with various grades of sandpaper? By hand? On a wheel? Are they sealed/finished with an...

So someone who is bidding on one of my beads sent me an email mentioning the 'face' reflection in one of my photos. It's the photo where I'm holding the bead in my hand: http://snurl.com/2joj Funny thing is that I wear glasses, which that face doesn't have. Plus I look nothing like that. I take my...

http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/landscapes.jpg I was trying a couple of landscape beads, and then put a tree on one. Lol. I think I put on a little too much tree for the bead, but other than it going around the side, I like both these beads a lot. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com

I took some shots of beadwork on a white background, in full sun. The colours in the jewelry are ok but the background comes out pale blue. Is there anyway to correct this in the photographing process or is this best done post production? -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com

Nice, Kathy, Did you make it from the sheet PMC, or from rolled out clay? Tina "KDK" wrote in message ... Hi all,

Hey Y'all! I've been gone for the past two weeks. I spent one week at the Holland School in Young Harris, Ga., taking Wire II. It was great. Then, the next week, DD was at Performing Arts Camp, so hubby and I snuck off to the beach (Tybee Island, Ga.) for a few days. It was our first trip...

Hi, all. I'm back from the ISGB Gathering. What a great time! I also bought a bead by Nancy Tobey - my first boro bead. It has purple, magenta and blue tones. Did ok at the Bead Bazaar, more sales than last year, but next year if I got to Portland, I don't think I'll do the BB, you miss out on...

When bringing more than just one or two things in to a shop or gallery, what should they be brought in. Boxes make good presentations, but are hard to store. Plastic bags with the jewelry laid out it's full length? Tina

I have asked Vicki to take down the pictures of the logo. One reason is to safe guard my design from outsiders of this group. The other is I have decided that I will not go into the palaver of setting things up to have what could be only a dozen or so sales. I will use my shirts as bargaining...

I think it's beautiful! Of course, a younger person might like a simpler design - the teens and twenty-somethings tend to like the simpler stuff these days, as far as I can see. I'd wear it though! -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net ...

WOW! Way to go! Starlia "vj" wrote in message ... vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from (BeckiBead) : ]Carol (in slc) just made a HUGE gallery sale, to someone who bought her

Ok so in my class I made an "accidental sperm bead". I was using white to either make dots or was playing with stringer (don't remember) and it went awry. The result- a sperm bead. I giggled about it to myself - not sure the others in the class would have truly appreciated it :) I put it at the...
