2020 — What a year this has been!
As we welcome 2021, it’s high time for us to reflect on what we should do to improve our craft. This year apparently has been a struggle for a lot of us, but let’s not forget that next year is a chance to start anew.

It’s your first time at a bead fair and you’re very excited. But how do you stand out if you’re new? How can your booth look distinct amongst a sea of competition?
Every beader needs to sell. There’s no satisfying feeling than getting your art out in the market and having customers pay good money for it. So, to make…
Fashionistas and trendsetters can’t get enough of puka, cowrie, and cockle shells. Many have jumped to this trend but it’s important to know where seashells are sourced, and how they are harvested and cleaned.
