Brand New Beader
I just wanted to say I found this great site for new beaders to learn basic stitchs in seed beading. It is Beaded Patterns.com by Dragon. She is very good to explain the basics and the instructions are FREE! I will go to this site more often and order once I get the hang of it.
Thank you Dragon for helping me to learn what the expensive books failed to do.

Inspiration
I made jewelry every day for a few months straight. I LOVE making jewelry. But I am have hit a wall. I never had to think about what i was going to make before i just picked up my supplies and the jewelry made itself. What are some things any of you have used to over come these issues if you have ever had them.

Metal Beads on the Cheap
Let us face it already - metal is just outrageously priced right now! This is especially true of gold and silver. I remember back in the day when I could order loads of sterling silver or gold-filled wire and not think twice about the price. The same was true for metal beads that I could use as spacer beads when doing bead stringing. When stringing up beaded bracelets...
Owl Charm is a Hoot
Remember back in the 70s when you could find all kinds of owl themed items? It seems owls are making a come back. This owl charm flew in from B'Sue Boutiques, and I have been mulling over a design for it for some time. He is made from brass and then has a rusty black finish. You can find out more about this metal finish in a video posted on the B'Sue Boutiques web site. As she suggests in the video, I took a polishing cloth and rubbed this charm to remove some of the black finish. I think I finally have figured out how I plan to use this guy, so stay tuned for an up-coming owl themed jewelry project.
