I know many of us check out the main forums for hints, tips, tricks and tutorials. But do you know that a lot of the ISGB Chapters have websites that have this info too?
One of my favorite places to visit is the Mid-Atlantic Society of Glass Beadmakers' website. Lots and lots of wonderful beadmakers in that area and many have generously written out tutorials, tips and all kinds of goodies related to it.
One of their members is my friend, Alice St. Germain whose Patty Pan bead I am featuring here. Alice and I co-hosted a fun garage sale when she lived here. As things wound down, we had cocktails in the shady driveway and I taught her the joy of playing Yahtzee while waiting for customers. I miss her.
I digressed, sorry. Anyhow, here's a link to Mid-Atlantic's home page. The top left area of the homepage has the link for tutorials, classes and archives. That's the area that has the really juicy resources, but poke around the rest of it. And don't forget to look at the bottom left section of the home page that has links to other Mid-Atlantic Beadmaking Groups. There's tons more info there too. Enjoy!
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link. It was very informative.
Off to investigate some more.
M.
What fabulous resources Marcy - thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteThat bead is fabulous - I love it!
I keep forgetting to look at places like that....of course it helps when well informed people point out that they actually exist ;o)
Gosh - it's years since I've played Yahtzee, we used to have such fun with that here...never tried it al la cocktail's though.
Believe me, Yahtzee and garage sales are a whole lot more fun with cocktails. I'd personally suggest margaritas. Alice, was that what we were drinking? Maybe it was Captain Morgan and oj.....? Can't remember.
ReplyDeleteAnd sweet Alice was a Yahtzee virgin. She had missed out on one of the finer things in life and I had to lead her astray.
OMG. Yahtzee. I miss a good game of Yahtzee. ANd you need to play with a grown up so you can compete! It's not as fun with your kids. :o)
ReplyDeletePretty cool bead you show there.
