[QUOTE="LovesToRead, post: 35826623, member: 125435"] Hello to all and thanks for this interesting thread. I am very new to beading, we're talking just a couple of weeks. I've always loved beaded jewelry, but have just started learning to make some myself. While we were recently on vacation, I visited a bead store. They had tons of beads for sale, but you could also sit at a project table and they would help you make a piece for a small fee. I was there for a week and visited the store a few times. I found it very relaxing and loved working on combining colors and shapes. I made 6 bracelets and a necklace, AND my (19 year-old) son and husband made bracelets too! My husband made one for me and my son's was for himself. Interestingly, my son arranged his beads (some of which don't even look like beads) very randomly and it came out great. And it fits very well with the bracelets so many teens wear these days. He's not at all into crafts, but said this was the first time he enjoyed doing any kind of craft. Mine are a mix. My first ones are planned and matching all the way around as far as a pattern goes. Then, inspired by my son's random one, I made 2 that are random in design. I would love any advice on websites or any other type of advice you'd like to share. The lady at the store shared about a couple websites she thought were good sources. Would also love to know if any have been not worth buying from...perhaps you could pm me with that, don't know if that's something we're not supposed to post in threads. At some point I hope to share pictures of what I've made and would also love to see what you all have made. Thanks again for an interesting thread....I'm so excited to meet others who are into beads.
