Bead & jewelry blogging round-up
About.com Jewelry Making
Tammy talks about an article she recently read which deals with various jewelry-related ethical issues such as free trade.

Eni Oken is a famous wire working star. I just had to try my hand at her fascinating ring. She was really kind and encouraging to me by email, and enthusiastic, too! That is what I love in a teacher! It makes you WANT to learn from that person!

Hi: I am just getting starting with reading and creating jewelry blogs. I am enjoying getting started with all of the wonderful jewelry-making sites out there. I am particularly interested in interchangeable jewelry designs. Do you know of any sites that would be good to know about?
Thank you,
Denise Couling

Thank you so much, Cyndi. That helps. I am still trying to avoid all of the European charms and “pop out” stones pieces and see if there is a blog or website more for jewelry makers and beaders who share design idea. I will keep looking and see what I can find — that Google list is long!
Thx again!
