Greetings to all you creative people! I am Susan, Bead Woman. I owned a bead shop on Maui in Hawaii for six years, but even before that I was creating with beads and teaching bead jewelry and hair barrettes. (The Fantasy Works)
In all, I guestimate I have about 30 years or more of beading experience, so Here I AM to share the wealth of nitty-gritty to make your beading experiences more pleasureable, and more stable.
ASK me your questions. i may be able to answer right away, but sometimes life gets in the way and i take three days to get to my mail (sorry).
I can offer information on methods and supplies, including where to get things at reasonable prices.
I also can offer suggestions on repairing bead and pearl jewelry. If you are wanting to clean your pearl or stone jewelry, I have experience in that too.
There is no sense in my getting old and passing away without passing on my store of knowledge to the younger generation, so ask away.
Here are some of the bracelets and barrettes I created over 12 years ago:
