Show Me Bead School!

For September, to celebrate the start of back-to-school, we are looking for classes,
tutorials, and workshops that focus on bringing your art beads and
beading to a new level of art. Post your links in the
comments here and I will select some of your ideas you leave on this
post to highlight in another Show Me
Sunday post.

Here is what some of our beady friends have to show off this week:

over the years.  

Beading Arts

Beads & Books

Resin Crafts!

A litte paper and paint can result in a wonderful Frida pendant!  

Snap out of it, Jean! There’s beading to be done!

Jean discusses the worldwide jewelry, mixed
