Does anyone make jewelry? Beading? I have started a few pieces for resale, and searched the web, and bought a couple of how to books. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice, or anything else?
We have a few craft stores around here. Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and even Wal Mart has some supplies. As well as e-bay.
My sons girlfriend has been doing this for about 4 years, and makes some beautiful stuff. So I do get some advice from her.
Thanks, CHAR

Careful...it's an easy "bug" to catch!
My daughter and I have done several craft shows selling what we have made! I have a show coming up in a few weeks that will have some "Red Hat Ladies" there, so I've been busy making tons of purple and red earrings!
DD moved to Portland in July but I HAVE to keep making things to use up all my beads! The absolutely best place we've found to purchase is called "Beads Galore" in Phoenix. (sister lives near there) Hobby Lobby often has great bead-making sales (50%)..Michaels too. There seem to be quite a few bead shops around here.
Her favorites are mostly stone and silver...I do that too, but love using seed beads.
Here's a few of the very first ones I made;
