 February 2010

Greetings all!

Winter has set in and outdoors is covered in snow.   Here in the northeast, February is a good time to stay indoors and make jewelry to sell later in the year.  Last year I took a soldering class and am looking forward to working with my new skills.

Lately, we've had quite a few requests for low cost advertising.  We've decided to reinstate our links and resources page.  Advertising will be 25.00 for one year.  You will get a small picture of your choice, a short description of your goods and a link to your site.  We have approximately 26,000 visitors a month so you'd get a lot of exposure.  Email sandy@beadingtimes.com for more information.

And now onto this month's columns.

Marketing Tip  Make it and Take it

Featured Bead Artist  This month we are featuring a Dutch artist, Anouk Jasperse.  Anouk's beads are breathtaking.  They remind me more of glass sculptures than of beads.  I couldn't pick out a favorite.  Please note that The Beading Times does not in any way participate in the sale of these hand crafted dazzlers and bears no responsibility for any transactions you may initiate.

When dreaming about this website, I pictured a place for beading enthusiasts to gather, to participate and to share their knowledge.  I hope you all take part in shaping this magazine – I want it to truly be a group effort.  Your input is welcome here.  I’d love to have you nominate a bead maker or submit tips or projects (don’t worry about your writing skills - my staff stands ready to transform your basic instructions into publishable text.).  Beyond your participation in the regularly scheduled monthly features,  I’d like to see you guide the shape of things to come.  What would you like to see?  Want to edit a column, write a story or post a question for the staff?   This is your place to shine or to bask in the glow.  Everyone here at The Beading Times is anxious to create a homey place for you – just let us know what it takes by emailing me.

Wishing you happy Beading Times,

Sandy
