Make Art Monday!
Those of us who are true collectors of beads and baubles are never at a loss when we travel to a new place. We just instinctively know that we must take something home with us to help us remember…and if it already has a hole through it, so much the better! These places […]
Tammy Powley has a poll and a question thread running right now about your goals for 2008! It’s not too late to get in on the discussion and to vote. She’s interested in hearing about what you plan to learn or concentrate on in 2008 as far as your jewelry making goes. It’s really interesting […]
I just wanted to let you in on a little non-secret: I keep on track much better and work much more efficiently when I’ve got a plan. I very rarely just start throwing beads around and “see what happens”. Sometimes, but rarely. I almost never just sit down and start writing with no idea where […]
My Dear Bead Readers,
This isn’t necessarily good-bye to the blogosphere because I still have my About.com Jewelry Making site as well as Fat and 40, but unfortunately, I have to say good-bye to blogging over here at b5media’s Jewelry and Beading blog.
This was my very first blog, started over 2 years ago when I was […]
Grab your beads, wire, metal, and more and get ready for inspiration to hit - zing! - this November at the Jewelry and Beading Blog.
About this time of year is when we seriously start getting into some jewelry making. The holidays are near, but we still have some time to experiment and be creative before […]
Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays, so I think it’s worth dedicating my blog posts here for the month of October. As someone who as a child used to dress up all the time - whether I was a cowgirl or show-girl - Halloween was extra special because everyone was dressing up […]
The Schmooze Award was the original creation of Mike at Gummy the Lovesick Alien:
Schmoozing as defined by Dictonary.com is the ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” When it comes to blogging, schmoozing is your ticket to making new friends, getting yourself noticed and building a […]
In this article, “Are Chandeliers Collecting Dust?,” I consider the future of this earring design and offer up a number of earring projects to try as well.
I felt like this fit in with my whole June wedding theme since chandelier earrings are perfect for pearls and can add an extra bit of elegance to any […]
Since I am semi-self-employeed, that means I rarely have a day off. This also means I often find myself glued to the keyboard and don’t get much time to actually make jewelry, which is sort of ironic I guess.
But, today, I managed to get some jewelry time in. It is a holiday, right? Of course, […]
Bead therapy is not a new idea. Most beaders will tell you that the act of beading is a wonderful way to relax, that time and problems can slip away as you make jewelry. And I have to agree with this.
However, I’d like to take it a step further and suggest that it is also […]
