Makes it perfect for spring!Also...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've peeked in here but I thought you all might like to see what I've put up for auction. I've decided to sell off some of my drilled shells and sea glass. The clutter is creeping up on me and I need to make some room. I attempted to clean my beading area today...

Sheesh, I'm so up to my neck in packing and final details on mortgage/moving, I totally forgot to post my latest auctions. Amazing I got time to even MAKE anything! I'm going to TRY to list 7-day auctions once a week for the next month, just so nobody forgets me, but please don't hold your breath....

Had something in my inbox this morning that purported to be an eBay bid cancellation notice. Looked just like the real thing, and investigation showed that the link took me to something that looked just like a real eBay login page. If I'd actually tried to bid on anything recently, I might have...

Hi there, I am wondering where i could get those 16/0 charlottes beads online?? well... some might called it true cut. I have been trying high and lows for them. Thanks alot in advance...:) Smiles, Irene G.

Hi all - just wanted to tell you about a new initiative I'm involved in. Last year I was part of a group that founded a local beadmakers society. The Aurora Borealis Fireflies meet monthly to talk about beadmaking, share tips/techniques and right now, plan for an upcoming show that will be, as far...

I was at my LBS yesterday and saw some silver-looking beads on stings on the wall. I asked if they were Bali Silver and was told that they were pewter beads from Bali, so Bali pewter. The price was low for silver especially given the amount of beads on a string. The question is, is there such a...

I love the look of sculptured flowers, but haven't been able to find a tutorial that will give me the basics to start. I have made some, with just my base knowledge, and that is what they look like :S! Any help is greatly appreciated. Cindy www.uniquecreationsbycindy.ca

I am in need of a book on tambour embroidery. Amazon have a second-hand source for a book (by Maisie something ... the book is about tambour embroidery using a frame or something similar) but unfortunately the second-hand source will not sell internationally! What a pain! I have bought a lot...

Actually, seven little, round, white candles... =:-o And an awesome polyclay pendant! Thank you, Tina! Arondelle -- "Supermodels. Hah! Nothing 'super' about them - spoiled, stupid little stick figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves.

Well, there was an "oops" of major proportions with the scheduling. We were up against the Bayou Arts Festival, which is a HUGE hoo-ha -- the city even runs shuttle buses from the park-and-rides! So the Art Market got hardly any customers, since that's direct competition for the same audience. The...

I listed six sets of beads for Mike last night on eBay, and will be listing five more sets today on JustBeads. We have some bright colours this week, as spring is making itself known in the Poole boathold (that's like a household only floatier) and the beads reflect...

A few more flowers and then it's time to play around with something different! I don't know why I've been so stuck on flowers lately. All this dreary weather, I guess. Here are the auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbeadbimbo Thanks for looking!

ah, another fine writer gone elsewhere. I think I read recently that Charlotte McLeod has also gone on. But the stories will live on here with the readers. SJ -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at:

Hi, I'm pleased to let you know about my second E-Bay auction!! It is almost as exciting as the first one, and I think it took me just about as long to complete. Easter and spring are on my mind, and hopefully all those wonderful buyers agree! Two items are from very early purchases in my beady...

I have some very lovely PC roses beads by her. She had asked us about an exhibition she was invited to give at a local craft shop -- wasn't sure she was "ready". I haven't seen any more of her PC, but she's doing glass now. Art With...

The links in my previous post on Saturday are mysteriously active!!! I just copied and pasted them here and they are NOT active, at least before I finish the post!! And they were not active when I first posted them. PLEASE, please, if you can tell me how getting the active link in RCB posts...
