I may be opening a can of worms here, but I had someone ask me the other day to create a specific type of jewelry project for this blog, and she mentioned that she’d prefer it to be copyright free. As someone who is not normally a jewelry maker, she had no clue about the can […]

I know…I know….I can’t really say that jewelry makers and beaders are well-known for their nails! I pretty much gave up on mine years ago, but some of that is really because I’m lazy, not necessarily due to making jewelry. So, getting the low-down on nail care isn’t such a bad idea, especially when it […]

We are going to start a themed showcase of sorts here at the b5media arts and crafts channel, so I’m thinking of some ideas now for Thanksgiving related jewelry. Hmm…somehow turkey jewelry does not do it for me.
Any thoughts?

After receiving my zillionth email about making money selling jewelry, it occurred to me how sad this is. Now, trust me. I know that many jewelry designers have the same experience I did. They start making jewlery for fun, and then people start asking them to buy it. Next thing you know, you are in business.

I’ve always been one of those people who have a full plate. It seems like as soon as I get something done and off my plate, I find myself putting something right back on. I was reading Cyndi Lavin’s blog the other day and she talked about how she is at loose ends because she […]

I am finishing the final touches on my mixed media jewelry book. I just received the manuscript yesterday from the copyeditor. She’s the one that gets to count all the beads in the projects and make sure they add up correctly. Fun job!
It is still kind of hard to picture the whole thing at this […]

www.SimplyThrifty.com
www.OffbeatHomes.com
www.StampingMad.com www.tangledthread.com
If you are […]
