Being a (mostly) self-taught beader, I discovered the advantages and drawbacks of learning my beading skills from books and videos. (That was back in the Stone Age when all we had was a VCR!) It was easy enough for me to follow the diagrams and directions in my favorite beading books, and the videos...

Summers here in the Adirondack Mountains can be hot. Maybe it's just because we're all so used to spending four or five months dealing with sub-zero temperatures, but as soon as the mercury rises, all I can think about is sitting in the pool and cold drinks! But summers are also a great time...

Seed beads are beautiful. And not just because they're little and shiny - for me, the beauty of seed beads lies in the fact that you can do so much with them! Sure, you can string them all by themselves or stitch them together in a simple peyote stitch or brick stitch band, but when you mix them...

Many of you know that I'm a glutton when it comes to learning, especially anything that concerns beading. I love storing facts and figures about the history of beadwork, bead manufacturing, and the business of beading. But my very favorite way to indulge my hunger around beading is to learn new stitches...

Combine for convenience Two of my favorite stitches are peyote and brick. The funny thing is, they look almost identical. The beads fit together in the same pattern. Brick looks like peyote turned on its side, or the other way around. They're just stitched in a different way, and brick stitch makes...

New for Beadwork in 2010 I get a kick out of seeing the reaction on some people’s faces when I tell them what I do for a living. “I design, teach, and write about beading.” Yep, it’s an unusual job, all right. It came about from my inborn curiosity about how things can be constructed...

So you want to seed bead? Welcome to my world! Above all other mediums, seed beads have been my biggest passion. I began beading with seed beads, and though along the way I fell in love with many other mediums and types of beadwork, nothing compares to the pleasure I derive from stitching with seed beads...

Start the New Year with creativity! 2009 is drawing to a close, and I just can’t believe it. I think I’m still waiting for summer, which may have occurred in Minnesota on June 20 between 2:16 p.m and 2:48 p.m. I must have been taking a nap or something, because I missed it . . . It was a...

Which Stitch Are You? Beading Daily is a social network, so, like many other online communities, I’ve determined we need to have a ridiculous quiz. Normally this might require all kinds of in-depth questions in order to come to its conclusion, but why not just jump ahead to the answers, so you...

New Beads, Old Problem Take a look the cool tagua nut circles that I recently bought for a summer necklace. Do you see the problem? No? Neither did I, until I started trying to design with them last weekend. When I'm bead shopping, my brain never gets past the "ooohhhh, pretty!" stage,...
