So why not keep warm this weekend by snuggling up inside with the latest films from Bead.TV! Released today – new films include Squiggle Ring by Linda Jones. Linda shows you how to use beads and wire to create a chunky fashion ring. You can also try your hand at making your own paper beads and see some great ideas for organising your handmade earrings. Check out these and many more great films now on Bead.TV.
Talking of handmade beads, I’ve had an exciting day in the office today! I had the really difficult job of picking the winners to be published in Issue 37’s Reader’s Challenge. The theme was ‘Handmade Beads’ and we’ve had so many fantastic entries ranging from glass to paper, polymer clay to metal, it was really was tough to decide!
I also got a massive pile of post! I always love getting post and get envious glares from other members of staff as I rip open my envelopes! Mainly because where other people get invoices and queries, I get gorgeous beady goodies and jewellery to admire! And I got a bumper postbag today! It included several projects for the next few issues, a lovely selection of beads for next issue’s bead soup and some books for review. Brilliant!
Don’t forget there’s still time to book your place on one of the exclusive taster workshops running at The Big Bead Show on March 31st. To see the full range of classes and take advantage of the discounted early bird price visit www.thebigbeadshow.co.uk 56 sleeps to go!
Keep warm and keep beading! Have an excellent weekend.
