Beads, Movies & Valentine's Day - A Bead-aholic's Blog... - ...embracing the addiction! - by buttercuphi: "I subject everyone around me to my favorite romantic movies, that coincidently display an incredible amount of beautiful beaded jewelry. I've mentioned in other forums that I watch my DVD's of West Wing in stop-action just to study the jewelry CJ and other cast members are wearing. I guess you could say those are 'everyday' styles. My main obsession in movie watching are those 'someday' projects of ornate crystal and gemstone laden accessories in period pictures and lavish musicals. Since this addiction to beading began, I've identified just a few films that fit this criteria: Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera, Finding Neverland, Somewhere in Time (my all-time favorite) and Shakespeare in Love.
I hope you'll let me know what movies I've missed for this vicarious bead fix I crave!"
So - what suggestions do you have? Personally I find myself unable to take my eyes off the beautiful blood red ruby necklace worn by Ann in Jane Austen's Persuasion (played by Amanda Root). She wears it at a candlelit dinner - stunning!

Beading Help Web Blog
Beading Help Web Blog: "If you are working on beading projects while you are traveling, remember a few handy tips.
- Keep supplies and projects in a case that closes quickly - I used a child's plastic pencil box. Whether you are in a plane, a train, or an automobile, you may run into circumstances where you've got to shut down shop quickly.
- Use beading mats, foam pads or other materials to keep beads from rolling around.
- Have a small bag you can use for trash, and NEVER cut wire, beading wire, or other materials in a manner that they will pose hazard to your fellow travelers!!
- Precut wire or have your beads organized by project to cut down on how much room you'll need to work. Remember, even First Class is cramped compared to most workshops!"
Some great ideas there! Maybe I need to go on holiday somewhere so I can put them into practice!! hehe
