Jewelry Classes, Projects, and More from Around the Web

A new year means there is a lot of new classes, projects, shows, and more going on. Here are some I found around the web for you to consider.

Get away to Vegas and bead your brains out at Bead Away Las Vegas 2009. This even is scheduled for late March, but registration for it is already open.

If you are going to the Craft and Hobby Association convention this month or Tuscon next month, then head over to Margot Potters's blog to find out about some of the classes she's offering. Hint - Expect lots of sparkle!

For those not in the know, you can now follow Rings-and-Things over at Twitter.

MyCraftivity has a new earring project using pearls and lucite beads, a perfect beginner project, and you can download it for free.

Not necessarily targeted toward the jewelry hobbyist but still interesting is an on-line video from MVI Marketing about Simple Steps to Growing Your Jewelry Web Community.

Designer Bonnie Clewans has a pretty Glitter Cubed bracelet project up over at Beading Daily. It combines two-needle ladder and picot stitch and is finished off with a button clasp.

If you love Bead Stoppers, then you will love the ones with special red grips available at Soft-Flex, also found on Twitter by the way.
