Oh my, I can't wait until this new issue of Beadwork comes in the mail! A couple years back, when first starting beading, I bought (well, okay, I still do) most all beading mags that come out, although special issues that recycle magazine projects are an exception, as are Simply Beads and Jewelry Crafting. I also only once or twice a year buy Jewelry Arts, and the other high level one. I also now evaluate special issues that are new content only, and don't get them all either, although I get many! This really adds up, and I'm running out of space, but I've figured out a way to deal with that.

So! I go on and on and on, but the point IS, that BEadwork was and is the FIRST must-have for me, even when I was a newbie (and still am new at many kinds of techniques), and some issues are PERFECTION!

Thanks for all the free projects, and the one I'm doing inspired by Sunset Rain from Spring 07 Stringing is waiting for me to decide if I'm going to Peruvian finger-weave it (loosely) or do something else. I was going to enter it in the Utah State Fair, but I've missed that deadline, so maybe next year . . .
