Hi everyone

My name is Tia and I am 22 years old. I have been beading since I was around 12, mainly making gifts for loved ones.

I am very new to beading forums, as I am not the best at frequenting the internet. If anyone would be interested in chatting and sharing any beading ideas I am all ears :).

I mainly work in crystal and glass/plastic beads, as well as heavier gauge wire work. Am looking forward to getting to know like minded bead addicts!

Welcome Tia!

I am not too new, but I love this forum.  Very friendly, always ready to help or just chat!  I am 61, but I was 22 once.  Hopefully, you're doing better than I did at that age......We love to see what you're working on or have just finished.  Don't be afraid to post a picture, it is always inspiring!

I am still not very good at keeping up with my online connections, so you're not alone.  I joined Facebook two months ago, so I could see some sea glass from a new seller.  My husband is better at checking for new posts than I am.  I work mainly in single strand gemstone/glass/crystal.  I haven't gotten into the intricate art many people here do, but I am always welcome!

Hope to hear more from you!

Welcome to the forum! I'm a member of several forums, so I don't always have the time to check everything. But I learned a lot from the internet, so I think it's very inspiring.

Curious to see your work!

Cya, Katrien
