  • Here's a tip on beading boards: often the markings are not correct! In my full DVD I go over this and the easy way to correct the marks. In a nutshell measure a finished necklace/bead legnth with a reliable ruler and do some checking

  • yep no matter how wild and fancy the name of the stone or cut of the bead... there are some simple truths out there!

  • Thank you for bringing this blog to our attention. I don't often post links that are sent to me because even the most rudimentary read finds them lacking. In this case I do agree what has been written about stringing materials and it closely follows what I present in my DVDs. I also checked out the Etsy link at the bottom (since the blog also promotes a store-space there. I think the ideals are well intended (giving a percentage to micro loans for women). All in all well written too.

  • Thanks for all the good words! To respond to questions: 1. Yes there are two more DVD's Wire Wrap and Wire Wrap II plus this Bead Basics lesson. The TV show will finally get going this year - with lots of posts to come. 2. Yes you can use embroidery floss. Use a foam ball or perhaps plastic bead and wrap your floss around it (hope that makes sense). Just make sure to leave a hole to string it! Sounds like some creative ideas are being hatched. - Lesley
