As a beader, you tend to look at various books and blogs for inspiration for your next project. It is also a great way to read about fellow beaders and make new friends in the beading community.



I recently wrote to one of the beaders who provided me with some lovely inspiration for a bracelet (above photo) to share and thank her for her contribution. And she wrote back!

"""Hi Erika,

what a nice idea! It's so amazing to see, what other beaders do with my
design. And it's also amazing to see, where in the world B&B is read. Just
go on and create your very own designs.


Happy beading
