  • New Forum for jewelry designers

    We’ve opened a new Forum on BeadAndButton.com for participants in the joint ISGB-Bead&Button project Convergence: Contemporary Jewelry Design with Art-Glass Beads.

  • Beading is a great way to be involved in the arts

    Now that fall is upon us and school has been back in session for a few weeks, I’ve noticed more stories about the role that art plays in education . The authors of a study on arts education stress the importance of preparing students for the 21st century workforce by involving them in the arts. In particular...

  • Beading from kits?

    A while back, I was given a quilt kit with all the precut fabric to make a wall hanging. I’d never quilted from a kit before, but when I started assembling my wall hanging this weekend, I found that I still felt creatively challenged making a preconceived work of art.

  • Inconsistent creativity

    Last week, I started a new scrapbook after taking a break from the hobby for a few months. Whenever I do this, I notice an interesting (and slightly annoying) phenomenon. The first two or three pages of my scrapbooks tend to feature bland designs — a few uncropped pictures simply matted and symmetrically...

  • Popular pearls

    Last week, associate editor Lynne Soto wrote about pearls for first ladies (and later, she wrote about pearls on TV shows ). About the same time, the Canadian Press wrote an article about Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama’s pearls. There must be something in the air: The Chattanooga Times Free Press ran...
