How to Get Started Making Glass Bead Jewelry
To start creating your glass bead jewelry first setup a proper workstation. A proper workstation is one that will allow you to be both creative and productive. Glass bead jewelry making is meticulous, yet fun and enjoyable work, so you will spend many wonderful hours designing your creations. Therefore it is important that your workstation provides you with proper lighting and comfortable seating.
Next, you will need to have lots of handmade glass beads, so you won’t run out of beads in the middle of designing a piece of jewelry. Handmade glass beads are more uniquely design and finer in quality than cheap machine made beads. The best place to get handmade glass beads is directly from an experienced glass bead jewelry artist, such as DK Designs.biz. An experienced glass bead jewelry artist saves you both time and money by creating the unique glass beads for you. So you don’t have to worry about learning the art of making glass beads or incurring the extra cost for the required equipment.
Finally you will need to have the following materials if you don’t already:
Heavyweight flexible beading wire – for stringing your glass beads. For maximum flexibility a 49 strand beading wire works best.
Sterling silver clasps either lobster or toggle clasp – to securely fasten your glass bead necklaces or bracelets. For earrings you will need sterling silver or gold earwire.
Sterling silver is recommended so you don’t have to worry about tarnishing.
Swarovski crystals – in a variety of colors to place between beads and help create unique designs. Swarovski crystals add sparkle power and value to your handmade jewelry.
A variety of pliers – round nose, chain nose, flat nose, a good pair of nippers, and a cripper. If you are just starting out as a jewelry artist and you are not able to obtain all of the needed pliers at once then you can initially get by with just the round nose and chain nose pliers.
Now that you have the minimum supplies and tools you need to get started creating your handmade glass bead jewelry, it is time to start designing. If you are finding it rather difficult to create your first jewelry pattern, it is a good idea to attend a class about making glass bead jewelry. The best classes are those taught by actual jewelry artists. If you would like to attend such a class, visit DK Designs.biz.

Early American Pattern Glass $32.33 The Early American Pattern Glass Society, with the help of a committee of eight experienced pattern glass collectors and dealers from across the United States, has completely reviewed and revised the content of this wonderful book originally compiled in the 1950s and 1960s by Alice Hulett Metz. Considered by many collectors as the Bible of collecting, Metz's Early American Pattern Glass has been dubbed the only book needed to buy, sell, or collect. Nine hundred black and white photographs of approximately 1,500 patterns from Aberdeen to Zephyr are shown. Clear pictures, authoritative reproduction information, uses, rarities, bargain patterns, plate numbers from standard texts, and accurate indexing are provided. The original format and commentary have been left intact, and updated information has been supplied where appropriate. Collectors will be pleased with the resurrection of this essential guide to early American pattern glass. |
