magical world of beading.
Q. 3. What is more popular, beads. tutorials, or kits?
A. 3. We love our bead kits and so do our customers. Beads Gone Wild’s core principle has
always been creativity, and we are interested in bringing it out in you! Our beading kits are
one of the most popular items we sell online and in our store. We make sure we choose
beading projects that are challenging, fun, interesting and appealing. Whether you are
keeping the handmade jewelry you create for yourself or giving it away as a gift, you can't go
wrong with our Beads Gone Wild Beading Kits. Most of our bead weaving kits include
everything you need to complete the project including needles and stringing material.
Q. 4. Do you carry a good selection of findings? Please describe.
A. 4. While many people like to use sterling silver findings when they create handmade
jewelry, others prefer gold filled findings. The good news is that we carry both. In keeping
with current trends we also now carry base metal findings such as Copper findings, antique
copper findings, brass and antique brass findings, antique silver findings as well as the
newest Silver filled wire findings. Silver filled findings such as crimp beads, crimp covers,
head pins, ear wires, and clasps are a good alternative to sterling silver. We also sell hard to
find sterling siliver and gold filled items such as CZ's snap sets, magnetic clasps, bead caps
and cones. See our selection of steel leather magnetic clasps too! We also carry a variety of
Miyuki and Japanese seed beads, along with hundreds of Swarovski Elements.
Q. 5. Please explain which came first, 'Beads Gone Wild' or 'Crystal Creations
Bead Institute'?
A. 5. Crystal Creations was the original name. Then, as we morphed more and more into
a full service bead shop, I decided that the beads had gone wild and we made the online and
kits portion Beads Gone Wild, but kept the retail brick and mortar shop as the Crystal
Creations Bead Institute, because we have so many classes, and guest teachers.
Q. 6. What awards and recognition do you and your staff have showing your
expertise in beading?
A. 6. I was in the book, Beading all Stars, and have published many designs in Bead and
Button and Be Y
