Beads & Beyond

 beads-beyond-june-2010

Beads & Beyond is a popular beading publication from the UK – have you seen it?  It features a variety of jewelry articles and lush photography, all on nice heavy weight pages.  I love the complexity of the tutorials…I find they are on average a bit more advanced and seem to really offer a challenge.  Unfortunately this publication is hard to find here in the US… over the last few months, I only found it once in a Barnes and Nobles.

If you are able to find the June issue, you’ll be surprised when you read the  “Meet and Greet” article…. it features an “American jewellery artist.”  Any idea who that might be? 🙂   I think you guessed.  It was a bit hard talking about myself, but was fun working with the assistant editor, Becky Hughes.  Traplet is a quality publisher, and I’m excited to have another feature coming out in this magazine soon.
