Beading Ideas For Fun and Profit By : Thomas Bridleman
It is fairly simple to turn your beading ideas into saleable products on a small scale, as you will likely give some of your creations away, have others on display around your home, or (in the case of jewelry) be wearing some of your favorite pieces out and about. As word gets out, it’s altogether possible that someone will ask you to make something for them.

Bead Craft and Patterning By : Thomas Bridleman
One of the most intricate and difficult aspects of bead craft is the notion of patterning. The human eye reflexively seeks out and identifies patterns, and our brains are designed to parse data in smallish, easily organized chunks. Thus, the reason phone numbers, social security numbers, and the like are broken into smallish chunks: 555-1212 vs. 5551212.

Learning How to Bead By : Thomas Bridleman

A topic not much discussed in articles concerning bead craft is what I like to all “optional equipment.” Understandably, most bead craft articles focus on the beads themselves and various discussions revolving around patterning, color selection and so forth, but at least some attention should be given to the optional items of equipment, because they can make your life easier and enhance your enjoyment of bead craft in general.
