For those traditionalists, you can find instructions here: Traditional Knotting. Pearls can be delicate and you don’t want them to rub together too much, so knotting is a good way to keep a little distance between each pearl bead.

This is one of the first methods I learned for knotting between beads. Pearls, in particular, are good to knot with, and actually, due to their delicate nature, it is a good idea to knot between them. I learned this from an intensive jewelry making I class I took many years ago, and the instructor […]

Margot Potter gives the 411 on her adventures (and her purchases) in Milwaukee at the Bead and Button show. A fun time was had by all.

For a long time, I made very simple earrings. We used to call them rocks on a stick (my DH and I). Then one day a gallery owner said to me, in a not so nice tone, that all my earrings looked alike. “Wasn’t there any way I could make something different, like hoops?” I […]
