Beading Links

Beading on the web is so "old school" web! It's full of small web shops, homepages and email lists. All prove that the web isn't all about massive flash ridden sites and massive corporate web presence. Though, nothing like Ebay to get your bead collection in the right direction! (Don't get me wrong, I love flash ridden sites like www.entropy8.com or www.iwantmyflashtv.com - and there are many more GREAT sites that visually inspire and challenge without trying to sell you something!)

So...enough of my own philosophy!

 
Together, dedicated to furthering the understanding and appreciation of beads--personal ornaments that not only express human aesthetic impulses but embody deep symbolic significance, and are among mankind's earliest, most universal, and most enduring creative achievements. Worth a look!
Beads: A global language of human connection! Worth a look! Beads are the foundation of human adornment and when the first homo sapien drilled a hole into an object that they wanted to keep on their body the first beader was born!
Rarely do I get to use the E-word when I see someone's work. But Elegance and Elan come to mind when I view Ms. Harriman's work.
Marvelous!!
I love coin tubes for holding: needles, large beads, Nymo and C-lon bobbins, findings...well I could go on! Why? Unlike flip tops and regular tubes the tops screw on! Concept! BTW, great seller on the web!

Bead history and research - Sadly Mr. Peter Francis Jr has passed away on the 8th of December, 2002. I had the opportunity to hear him speak recently at the NW Bead Society monthly meeting. Beads, most underrated, and yet, can tell so much. He spoke of Berenice, in southeast Egypt. Sad loss to the beading community.
