I'm delighted to start this new blog to announce the future publication of
Creative Kids Photo Guide to Bead Crafts (Quayside Publishing, Fall 2014). Today, I mailed the signed contract to my publisher and submitted the final outline for the book. I can't wait to share some of the details with you as soon as I am able to. But I also want this blog to be a forum to share other people's astounding beaded kids' crafts that I think are inspiring. Oh, and I will probably venture off topic and explore other playful kids' projects just because I think the imagination is a terrible thing to waste. Don't you??
In December 2012, my first book, "Bead Bugs," published. That was a very exciting endeavor but also very challenging. The book has 13 different beaded wire bug projects, and since it's publication, I have conducted workshops at libraries, sold bug jewelry at craft shows, and created beaded bug kits so that crafty people can purchase the materials without the fuss of searching for the beads and wire at craft stores. If you want to purchase a beaded bug kit, just visit
atomicrose.etsy.com. You can also purchase a signed copy of my book in my Etsy shop!
With beaded kids' crafts well under way, you'll probably start seeing pictures of my messy kitchen table and my failed experiments, so check back often...and let me know what you're working on. When people get together to bounce ideas off of each other, great things happen.
