All Wound Up?

If you're stuck with something you're trying to string, or just need fresh new ideas, we have help for you!

We may not be able to fix the problems of the world, but we do have fresh ideas about how to put beautiful beads together. Take a look at a project from the Basic Stringing Class:

It doesn't look basic at all. The reason: an inspired combination of a few simple elements of silver and stones, and a really lovely and unusual palette. (Neutral tan and black, with a splash of cool aqua.)

Even if you know all the techniques a beader needs, sometimes you need to wake up your visual and tactile senses to get into the creating frame of mind. Stop in, just touch a few of the amazing beads, and you'll be on your way to great ideas! We're here to help you with tips and guidance and plenty of inspiration.
