Excellent
retailer:
by Erin Weik
This retailer fills in some of the gaps on my own site. Erin has
cat's eye beads,
Swarovski crystal and pearls, pewter beads, sterling silver findings and
beads,
beading supplies, and finished jewelry, in addition to a wide range of
Celtic
and metaphysical items. The site is gorgeous, with a Celtic theme. |
Highly recommended Product:
by Jeff Moffett
If you use the Windows calculator and find it frustrating because of its
small
characters, limited features, and lack of customizability, I strongly
recommend
Moffsoft's Calculator 2. Calculator 2 has a fully customizable
interface, including
a "tape" which shows you all of your calculations. If you are a
retailer like me,
you will be delighted by its ability to calculate taxes. Its
conversion functions
(inches to millimeters, quarts to liters, exchange rates, etc.) are
extremely
useful. This is one of the most useful programs I have ever used. |
Informative
site:
by Leigh and Stephen Ross
Polymer
Clay Central is the web's best resource site for jewelry designers who
make
polymer clay beads. The site includes message boards, instructional
articles,
an encyclopedia, interviews with artists, contests, auctions, and more.

Excellent retailer:
by Ron Stanford
Precious
Pebbles offers a variety of stone beads, cabochons, gemstones
and rough rocks for all types of lapidary uses. This is the only
dealer I
know who carries semiprecious stones and beads made in the U.S.
(Note: Ron Stanford died a couple years ago, and it appears
that Precious Pebbles now sells stone gifts, but no beads.) |
Purebeads
customer (I believe this designer is deceased,
but I leave her banner up because I liked and admired her)
by Deborah H. Crumbaker-Oldham
Beautiful
hand-crafted jewelry (including necklaces, bracelets, earrings and hair
sticks),
beaded book covers, original artwork (including drawings and paintings in
oil and
acrylic), hand-painted tiles, hand-made greeting cards. This lady
has more
awards for her jewelry than I have hairs on my head! |
