BEADED CABOCHON COMPLETE!

It's been a couple of weeks since my seed bead lesson in California with Arline from Beads Etc., and I will admit my memory did not serve me well, but with Arline's help via email and some additional help from my friend, Jeanne, I did complete the project. My initial plan was to make it the focal in one of my
Egyptian coil bracelets and I still like the idea, but wonder if I should do another one and improve my technique first.....I'm not sure I got the edge row right. It's been a wonderful learning experience and I am not so intimidated by working with seed beads in this form as I was before...so, if you're thinking about learning to do this, find yourself a teacher and GO FOR IT!!!

MARKETING YOUR WEB SITE

I recently posted a question to http://askszarka.blogspot.com/ regarding ways to drive traffic to my new jewelry site at ajhearn.artfire.com. I did not want to attract unwanted spam, so asked for their feedback on how to accomplish this in a cost effective way. Robin Hawke, who does freelance PR and Marketing, shared the Jewelry Marketing information she learned at the Tucson Gem Show. Robyn's feedback was informative and practical, especially for the budget-minded entrepreneur. And, it does not simply apply to jewelry marketing. Go to Szarka's blogspot listed above. You will also fall in love with Szarka's jewelry designs. You can also visit Robyn's web site at http://www.magpiegemstones.com/.
