I spent some time looking back over the Jewelry & Beading blog, and I decided that it was way past time to make a list of all the posts that will give you the basic info you need to get started in beading and jewelry-making. Tammy Powley, who was the original editor of this blog, provided an absolute treasure trove of tutorials and information. I’ve attempted to pick up where Tammy left off and add my own 2-cents worth.
So that you don’t have to bookmark this specific post, I’ve also posted it as a permanent page in the blog. You can find the link in the sidebar to the right under the heading of Pages. I will be keeping that page up to date with new links to basic info and tutorials as they are added here!
