I have always admired people that made jewelry, I thought that it required a special skill that I just didn't have.  I visited some friends that I hadn't seen for a very long time and she was into making jewelry. She showed me all the beautiful bracelets she made.  Now, she was not known to be super-crafty, so this was quite a surprise that she was able to make this beautiful jewelry so easily.  Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I could do it.  So I bought some beads and started stringing.  

Now, there is a difference between stringing beads and beading.  Both techniques have their place and both are beautiful, but I quickly turned to beading to create pieces that are truly unique.

My frustration was finding information on what to do.  Of course the information is out there, but I had to go to a lot of different places to find what I needed.  Another problem was that I didn't know what it was that I needed!

So many techniques, if you don't know what they are, how do you search for them?
