    I Need advice about beading

    I'm a rookie 2 beading/jewerly. A few month ago I bought beading starter kit that had all the tools (round nose plier, needle nose plier, thread, tiger wire & beautiful pink/rose beads (all size). I did a good job on the bracelet. After I bought more tools (except crimping plier) & few more beads (all small & beautiful colers).  After I made the bracelet all of my friends love it.  I even made my mom lite blue/white earrings & she loves it.  That's when I love doing beading/jewerly.

    Now my question is, I would like 2 know. Do u buy all kind of beads in style, colors & all kind of wire, chain & thread before I create any bracelet, necklace & earrings? 

    If any other advice please, I'm all ears/eyes.  I would love 2 continue doing beading from now & into the future.  Thank 4 anybody help.

     You don't need to buy everything in order to make different kinds of jewelry.  It would be great to have a little of everything, but that would basically mean owning a whole bead shop

    What I would recommend is picking up a good beading book and/or magazine, and browse the free Bead and Button and Beadstyle projects.  Just buy the supplies for the projects that you like and want to try (one or two at a time).  After awhile, you'll get an idea of what kinds of projects you enjoy most, and you can just purchase the supplies that you need and prefer.

    I hope to see some of your creations in Show Your Work!
