Three bead-related notes

This is a bit of a fractured post :)

Firstly, the FHFTeam blog has a new article up on what to look for when buying lampwork beads, accompanied by a heap of pretty pictures. If you've never used lampwork beads in your jewellery before, go take a look; I promise it's drool-worthy, and you might come away with a new addiction.

Secondly, the prize draw for a set of polymer clay beads is tomorrow, so if you haven't entered yet, there's only a little time left. I'm not sure whether I'll use a random-number generator, or write numbers on little bits of paper and let an animal pick the winner. Hmmm.

Thirdly, if you're a jewellery/jewelry maker or designer, there's a little something coming up that you might want to get in; look out for it next week...:D
