Do you have a serious love for these beads?

It can be addictive and expensive, especially if you collect any of the gold ones.

Sometimes it's good to be a beader to come up with some alternatives. I can do this. It's great if you are a glass artist and can make some of your own lampwork beads. Alas, I am not. But I do appreciate a beautiful bead.

Good news!
I started a group on ning as a resource for all of us.
It is not affiliated with any one brand or any store. I'm reluctant to talk about other brands in a forum whose store sells only one brand. Here, you can talk about them all.

Go to http://addicted2beads.ning.com/, look around, and join us. I hope to see you there! It's a good place to start if you are just beginning to collect these beads.

Do you have a favorite local shop or do you buy online -- or both.

Do you have bracelet(s) only? or necklace (s)?
For necklaces: I particularly love the Troll Fantasy Necklace.

Do you tend to put them together and then leave them? or do change them?
I know folks who put theirs together every morning for their outfit and have loads of beads in a tray that they pick and choose from. I can't imagine doing that! I tend to put mine together, then leave them. I re-do them occasionally, but it is hard for me to come up with something I really love, so once I do, I tend to leave it.

If you are a store owner, you are welcome to list your store in our files. Tell us what is special about it -- and if you do online business.

If you are a customer who particularly loves your store, be sure to tell us.

If you are a lampwork artist or a silver bead artist, tell us about your products!

Let us know any good ideas or design ideas that you have. You can post pictures in the photo section.

Come see us at http://addicted2beads.ning.com/.
