This site focuses on beads and hand-crafted jewelry. Mitzi McCartha, the owner of Stardust Designs Bead Shoppe in Nashville, TN and author of two Bead Java books on selling and designing jewelry, was pleased to discover a great way to allow people an open forum to discuss the beading industry and beaded jewelry as a craft and business for others. This show will allow callers to discuss beads, stones, minerals, findings, techniques, and other jewelry-crafting how-tos to make their experience easier and more positive. Callers can get tips and questions answered quickly and easily without having to feel embarrassed or silly! If you have any questions after listening to an archived file, please feel free to email Mitzi at stardustdesigns@comcast.net
