January 2012

Greetings all!

We've started a new year and I wish the best to you in 2012.

Bead and jewelry sales are slow during the cold winter months and I like to stay inside where it's warm and toasty. Particularly during this time of year, I like to use my down time to examine my beads, check out all the fashion magazines, plan my spring line and bead, bead, bead.

And now onto this month's columns

Beading Tip Getting the correct tautness when crimping

Marketing Tip  What label to apply to your work

Featured Bead Artist  This month we highlight Shelby Ring. Her beads resemble peaceful nature scapess, espcially underwater themes. 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. 

Beading Culture The "angel" stones

Beading Project All in one earrings

Design Corner Paper beads

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
