I have been to many bead shops in the Pacific Northwest and I'm always on the lookout for something new and different.
I can highly recommend "Alexander's Bead Bazaar" in the Roosevelt District in Seattle, "Cargo" in the Pearl District in Portland, "The Bead Factory", too close to my home, and "Shipwreck Beads" at Exit 111 on Interstate 5 in Lacey Washington.
I have also shopped on-line at "Happy Mango Beads" and have visited the "Hands of the Hills", located in Mercer Island, Washington, at several beads shows.
You may want to check out these places. They all very inspiring! Couldn't I just give up working for the school district and "play" full time??
About Me
- Margaret Heizenrader
- The Pacific Northwest, United States
- A Northwest native, I have always enjoyed making things. Over the past few years I have been concentrating on making jewelry - and making the beads as well if the ones I want are not available. It turns out that I have an affinity for making what may be described as "ethnic" or "tribal" beads and jewelry and now, with the encouragement of family, friends, and commissioners, I have begun my own blog. My blog will feature my most recent work (with an archive of everything I have made), works that are for sale, and tutorials. I welcome comments, tips and corrections.
