  • Drawer pulls: a clever way to display jewelry

    At the beginning of this year, Cathy resolved to find new ways to display and organize her jewelry. I think I need to do that, too.

  • one strand jewellry

    I have just received the latest issue of Bead Style and was intrigued by the one strand section. I had always thought that using the whole of one strand on one project was a 'waste' and would buy with several ideas in mind. Not anymore.

  • Summer reading list

    When I was a kid, I used to spend most of my summers planted in a lawn chair with a pile of books. I don't have the luxury of that kind of a summer reading list now, but I did get a chance to browse three great beading books recently. The first is Krystal Wick's " Fabulous Fabric Beads "...

  • Master class mastered!

    These picture are from the master class I took at this year's Bead&Button Show and the resulting graduation ceremony. I took Valerie Hector 's Chinese bead weaving class. It was wonderful!! I though after three day my brains and all urge to bead-weave would just leak out of my ears when I...

  • Great recessionista idea

    Word of mouth is a fabulous thing for finding life's hidden treasures. My sister just told me about a jewelry line (that a friend told her about) that has hit on a great idea in financially challenging times for artists. The line is called " Circle of Friends ." The necklaces feature a...

  • Fabric

    I am thinking of doing a mixed media bead project with fabric and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to what fabric would work well with both bead stitching and lino cut prints (acrylic/watercolor). Many many thanks!!! P.S. I've been breaking my head over this for a while now.
