Because I'll be meeting mostly other jewelry designers and bead artists here, I think of the photo album on Beader's Showcase as a sort of portfolio. When you meet someone in the forum, or a group, you can see their work and get an idea of what sort…
Love the colors! So vibrant and juicy.
Thanks! I love layering this necklace with one or more other beaded chains.
So sweet spring mood! ;)
This is so loveable!

- HI, I think I answered your comment in the wrong place. I don't get asked often but it took me a lot of practice to figure it out. Not a lot of teachers out there for flowers. I'm posting a peach set tonight on my website:
lampworkbyjoyce.com. Thanks for the nice comment.

It's an important debate, especially for those of use who sell our work. So many consumers want to know what kind of an impact their purchases will have on the envi… Continue
