Beki's Beading Blog: December 2013
http://bekihaley.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. In with the new – out with the old! What is the significance of a new year? I guess that question is pretty pointless…it’s like asking, *What is the meaning of time? It’s all relevant really and means what it means personally to each of us. It is the chance to start again. To leave behind what wasn’t pleasant and try again with the next 365 days awaiting us all in an effort to “make it better”? But why do we wait for that date? For that time to make a change? Wow….we...I’...

Friday, June 24, 2016. My experience as a bead vendor/teacher. You are so lucky! You must have so much fun! I wish I could do that! I hear these comments and ones similar to them so often I cannot begin to count how many times. And yes….I am very lucky, but I also work my tail off to keep that luck in tact! And yes….I do have tons of fun, but it is at a pretty big risk. And….remember what your Mom used to say? Be careful what you wish for! Seriously, every single day. It’s like a dream! While designing I...

And once in a while when we’re getting ready for a big show we’ll also call in other family members and former employees to help us package up beads. The photographer is Shawn. Maria k...

Friday, August 30, 2013. A Plea To My Fellow Bead Store Owners. Dear fellow Bead Store Owners,. This letter is an appeal to each and every one of you to please pay careful attention to how you conduct your business. While we are each our own unique businesses and we personally do not view ourselves as one company, many times, most especially online, we are lumped as one entity under the heading of LBS. (Local Bead Store). When one of us behaves unethically and/or breaks the law, we all suffer a bit for it.

Saturday, September 20, 2014. The Berkley - Fireline saga. The batch numbers are: A-28-14-3, E-6-14-1, A-21-14-2 and they are all Crystal 6#. I replied to his professional and thoughtful email by letting him know there were still unanswered questions, such as issues with Smoke colored Fireline, what the "Improved" packaging meant if there had not been a change made, and the fact that representatives from Berkley had replied to more than one inquiry that there had been a change made in their formula.

Mary Tafoya's Seriousbeading: Anasazi Corn
http://seriousbeader.blogspot.com/2009/07/anasazi-corn.html
Mixed Media Beadwork and Other Excitements from the Land of Enchantment. Saturday, July 18, 2009. Here's a new style of earring in my Etsy shop. The "cones" at the top are actually recycled shell casings, modified by the MOTH and moi. These amazing seed beads are so tiny, and they remind me of the ancient corn or maize varieties grown by the Anasazi and others in the Southwest and Mesoamerica. Take a look at these images from Seeds of Change. If you don't know what I'm talking about:. MCW Beads and More.
