Brand New Beader

I just wanted to say I found this great site for new beaders to learn basic stitchs in seed beading. It is Beaded Patterns.com by Dragon. She is very good to explain the basics and the instructions are FREE! I will go to this site more often and order once I get the hang of it.

Thank you Dragon for helping me to learn what the expensive books failed to do.

Inspiration

I made jewelry every day for a few months straight. I LOVE making jewelry. But I am have hit a wall. I never had to think about what i was going to make before i just picked up my supplies and the jewelry made itself. What are some things any of you have used to over come these issues if you have ever had them.
