Personally, I'm fascinated with wire wrapping. And sincerely, beads AND wire make a great combination! You can do with wire almost everything - and combine that with infinite beading possibilities... wow! Great work, Kristal! And more articles about wire wrapping!!! PS I'm a certified open water diver too... unfortunately my dad didn't even want to hear about a motorcycle :)

Kristal,

Not being a native English speaker, I now understand that I misinterpreted your blog of 16 July as saying you are not a beader. I'm sorry :-( Wish I could remove the offending part of my comment but can't find the edit button as in the forums.

Hey gals-

The bead world is bigger than just beadweaving and stringing- our crafty staff loves all forms of jewelry making and gets excited to share it with you. Every now and then it may appear we’re leaning too far one way or another, and we count on you all to let us hear it when we do. But rest assured we’ve got plenty of beadweaving and stringing content planned for the next few weeks, months and years. It is BEADing Daily, after all! No matter how far we stray, we always come back to the beads.

As far as confessing goes, while my seed bead addiction is still in its early stages, I’ve been a beader, bead-maker, author, teacher, internationally award winning jewelry designer, and official Swarovski Ambassador for many, many years. The world of beads is not new to me, and I love helping everyone open their eyes to all the possibilities around beaded jewelry, and embrace a fresh, new beady passion such as I did with seed beading.

Thanks for following along- we’re all passionate about the beading we love. Keep spreading it!

Creatively,

Kristal

No Patricia, you're NOT the only one! These comments have been made before and I want to add my voice. Case in point: Today Monday there are 4 blogs on Beading Daily:

- Weave, Wrap and Coil Your Way to Wire Jewelry Making with Jody Bombardier

- The Dos and Don’ts of Twisting Wire

- No Time (or Clay) to Waste! Get Started on Your Holiday Gift Making

- Quick and Easy Cupcake Jewelry in 5 Simple Steps (and, no, this one does NOT qualify as a "beading blog" in my opinion!)

What happened to Beading Daily?! Why aren't these blogs on Jewelrymaking Daily? And - while meaning no offense to Kristal Wick - with all the talented BEADERS out there, why did Interweave choose a selfconfessed NON-beader as an editor of Beading Daily?

I love mixed-media jewelry but while on Beading Daily I want to read about - you got it - beading.

Am I the only one who wonders when "Beading Daily" became wire daily and wire working daily? Please get back to blogging about and with beads--even if they have to be seed beads....Beading Daily should be about beads not wire. There are other sources for that.
