The publishers of Bead&Button also have a lovely magazine that is designed for those who are a bit less interested in seed bead projects and who would prefer more quick and stylish projects. There are good beginner projects here, but these are not just beginner projects…make no mistake about that! BeadStyle is designed for those who just don’t have enough time to complete huge complex projects, and it is published in between each issue of Bead&Button.
***Free Magazine Alert***
I’ve got three free copies of the March issue of BeadStyle to give away!! Simply leave me a comment below, and next Wednesday I’ll draw three lucky names out of the hat!
love your blog! hope i win the mag!
Fabulous! While I absolutely adore Bead & Button and have it on subscription, I’m not a seed beader so simpler mags are of more use to me (not that I make set projects - but I DO want to write for them!)
Thanks for letting me look .I learn daily and know I can learn from these magazines as well this is wonderful to share with you and others. I would like to know more. Hope the magazines find their way to my home. Thank you.
Quick projects are all I have time for lately, LOL. You must be getting pretty famous if they are giving you free stuff to give away!
I like Bead Style and wouldn’t mind being in the drawing for one.
It was nice of them to send you a few to give away!
I check Beadstyle often for great new ideas to inspire my work.
Your blog is a “find”. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I am new to beading and totally hooked. Not enough hours in the day to do all I would like.

I’ve checked out Bead Style before and like it also. I would love a free copy!
I love Bead and Button, but lately I’ve only had time to do less time consuming projects. BeadStyle looks like it might be right up my alley!
Thanks!

What can I say ? I wanna win !!!
Should I be embarrassed to admit (well, other than that I can’t spell that word) that I didn’t know “why” one publisher had two separate Bead magazines? I have purchased both.. have a subscription to one of them and buy the other, um, probably each time it’s published… now, i have to read your blog entries from the past month or so to see what other good info I can partake of!
Hi Cyndi,
What a lot of great info here! I saw your wonderful offer in the beadaholics group…hope to hear from you!
Love your site and enjoy BeadStyle. Had to drop my subscription because of too many, but would love to have one again.

Not a subscription, just a copy of one. Sorry if I worded it wrong.
Roberta, again
This is a wonderful blog. I love the tabs on the right side and what it links too. I need more time to go through it, but what I have seen is WOW. Keep up the great job and I’m going to go through the links when I have time here and there.
I really enjoy your blog, I am a house bound disabled person, with no friends or family that enjoy beading, so sites like yours “keep me company” and give me the feeling of interacting with like minded people. I love Bead Style, but I am on a VERY fixed income, and mostly bu old issues on ebay when I find them low enough. Hope to win, but even if I don’t, I really do love your site!! Thanks, Dani
Every year when I go back to the US for Thanksgiving, I look for beading magazines, as I’m not able to find them in English here in France. I’d love to have the opportunity to win one!
Great blog. I would love to win a copy. TFS
Hey there Cyndi,
Just checking in, been a while since I visited.
Always like looking at US beady mags, I don’t buy Bead and Button because I’m not a seed beader as you know, but I have on occasion been known to purchase bead style here in Australia. Just wish my local Library would subscribe to more of these, then I can use my pocket money for beads instead of mags…lol
Hi Cyndi,
A friend forwarded a link to the call for entries for Tammy Powley’s book that you posted back in September (I have two pieces accepted for that - many, many thanks for posting the information). I’ve been checking in with your blog regularly ever since.
Thanks!
Melissa
Actually somehowstumbled onto yoursite and now not only do I get to check it out but perhaps win a mag too!
Too groovy!
This is fabulous - I love getting inspiration from the beautiful designs they showcase! Keeping my fingers crossed! Thank you!!
That’s GREAT, Melissa! Congratulations
awesome - inspiration & free stuff in one
just starting to bead again, perfect for me. Not the big projects and free! Have to give it a try
Thanks
I love Bead Style this is my favorite bead magazine. I usually only buy this one and stringing on occasion. I cant always afford to get subscriptions esp now since I have to pay taxes this year !!! I woud love to win an issue of this magazine. I enjoy your blog as well. Mine is http://www.amylucid.blogspot.com and I also sell on etsy under lucidjewelry.
I LOVE the Vintage Jewelry Magazine I won - I got it on Monday - THANKS so much! I’ve been so busy at work that I keep forgetting to tell you thank you. I really appreciate your hard work on keeping all of us informed.
Who knows, I could win again, so here’s my entry for the Bead Style mag!
Again, thanks so much, Cyndi!

Ooo…I’d love to win this!! Thanks for a cool mag!
My daughter likes to bead, but as a teen doesn’t have the money to buy the magazines, this would be a nice thing for her.
I’m just starting to get into beading so would love to win an issue of the magazine.
How generous of you. I would enjoy reading and doing some of the jewelry creations. Please enter my name in the drawing hat! I appreciate it…..Cindi
Oooh - That looks like fun! I’m fairly new to beading, so I’m trying to absorb all I can - Glad I found this blog!
What a great give-away! I spent several hours just tonight beading some things for a craft show next weekend and I could really use some inspiration!
Please put my name in the running for this fun giveaway. Thank you!
Sounds interesting!
I have lots of beads ,just need to know how to make things!
I would love to learn more about beading!!
Beading is my passion and I really love to have those magazines to explore more about beading.
THANKS CYNDI….

I love Bead Style & would love the opportunity to possibly win an issue. I’ve been beading for A LONG TIME, but recently been selling more & more beaded earrings locally.
I love bead art and would definitely be interested in the magazines…
Beading is my new hobby… I really want to learn everything…. your magazine may help that’s for sure!!!!
Well, BeadStyle may have simpler projects, but it is still nice to see and be inspired by whatever other people do. At any level, it’s nice to be able to say, “Now, THAT’S an idea!” I’d love a copy of BeadStyle!
Would love to check out this magazine and thanks for opportunity to do this.
