Beading
A nice YouTube video about my local bead shop here. It really manages to capture some of the charm of beading in general and this store in particular.

Knot easy
My beading learning for today was tying knots. Definitely tricky. I know there's a tool that some people use but part of the reason I like this stuff is the hands-on-ness of it all, so I want to master the old fashioned way. I wish there were a Japanese jeweler nearby. I searched high and low on the internet for a perfect diagram or video instructions, but to no avail. Evidently, I just have to practice, practice, practice and maybe I'll get to Carnegie Hall there, nice snug little knots and all.
