Hi I am based in South Africa,

Our shop members make all kinds of beaded African crafts. From animal sculptures to beaded African bracelets.

We are passionate about uplifting the local community so we plough much our proceeds back into the community.

Re: New Member Intro

Hey there everyone! I am fairly new to Etsy. I have been around as a buyer for a while, but I recently decided to be a SAHM and wanted to give myself something to do while I was at home. So, I decided to open up my shop. I love working with any type of beads, mostly seed beads. I have always loved beads since I was a kid. Hopefully I get some fulfillment from Etsy! Nice to meet you all!

Re: New Member Intro

Hi everyone! I am brand new to Etsy and just opened my shop tonight. I am very excited to be sharing my line of beaded jewelry. I started making it due to a metal allergy and not being able to find the kind of jewelry I wanted to wear. Hopefully there are others out there that it will appeal to!

Here is one of my favorites I just posted:

Re: New Member Intro

Hello, i see we have lots of talented people out there. I started making jewelry when i was about 5 years old, at that time they didn't have a variety of beads, every time i asked for beads people would buy me the little plastic bead kits, i would look at the outside of the box and wonder how they made such pretty designs. by the time i was 13 i started purchasing the ceramic beads, i thought they were so pretty and they felt so cooling, but what i really thought was pretty was the swarovski crystals and when i was 16 i started learning beading techniques. I can say i have this very strong love and addiction to beads, i like the way they sound, look, and feel.i don't wear them but i'm very passionate about making jewelry.

Hello

I'm Trudi and I've been lampworking making my own glass beads since 2007. I just love and adore bright colours so most of my work is pretty colourful! I also write tutorials for magazines including Beads & Beyond, Bead and Soda Lime Times and I also teach!

As well as lampworking I also fuse glass and I'm just starting out having a go at stained glass too!

Looking forward to being part of the team!

Hi everyone!
I've always been obsessed with beads, collecting and making beads...I have an entire closet of them! This led to me making beads out of polymer clay and now to concentrating on polymer clay and resin pieces... Just opened this shop about a month ago!
