  • Where to start? Peyote, Brick, Right Angle or....

    I have been beading for a few years but have been intimidated by working with seed beads and learning stitching. I must confess I don't even sew, so where do I start? Something like Peyote Stitch, Brick Stitch or Right Angle Weave? Or somewhere else? Thanks Jeanne

  • What to do when you hit a wall - creatively speaking

    How do you avoid beader’s burnout? I like to read forums about beading. They help me stay connected with other beaders and hear the latest news in the bead world.
