well hi there. fyi a bunch of us met at Gem Faire in October. maybe we can have another meetup in December. 

Yeah, meetups are fun!  Hopefully in December I won't have bellydancing if we meet on Sunday because in August I was beyond exhausted after walking around so much.

 Sparklebee, did you ever post the group pic from August? 

yes, I posted it. maybe check the thread where we set up the meetup. don't rememer where it is.  I'll email you the picture.

Orange County here too

Hello

No I am not in any guilds or clubs. I am just starting to gather all the stuff I need to make clay beads and bits so any tips you can give me I would really appreciate. where in OC are you? I am by the Angels Stadium

I'm in South OC, RSM. my husband works by you. I really recommend joining the polymer clay guild, they meet once per month in Costa Mesa.  Also, if you need beads you should check out Gem Faire, the next one is Dec 7-9 at the fairgrounds. if you have not already, check out www.polymerclaycentral.com.

Hi All!

I'm in Long Beach. Anyone have a favorite bead shop?

 Hi Robyn! The next Gem Faire is not until August 8. No meetings have been set up yet but hopefully we can meet up for a bit. What kind of jewelry do you create?

A little bit of everything - Wire (all tho lately - just to wire brio's to chain!) - Beading - I am taking a Jewelry Making Class in Venice and work in silver and have a copper washer thing going on!

 Hey All,

I teach wire jewelry and formed a guild based in Orange County.

I'll be having another 2-Day Intensive Sept. 19th & 20th, 2009. Let me know if you are interested.

 Here's some of my photos:

I hate to admit this, but after spending hundreds if not close to a thousand, I have dried up on ideas and have totally lost any feeling to do anymore jewelry. I am seriously thinking of selling all of my beads, swarovski and tools. I did craft shows up to last December and there are so many other peope doing jewelry that to me the competition is overwelming. I now have another hobby/business venture that I do and that is taking up all of my time ( and spare cash ) to get up and running. In fact I did advertise some of my beads on Craigs List for sale a while ago and didnt get one hit.
