I don't bead but my mother and best friend do. My mother taught herself. She makes a killing on her Christmas ear rings and her beaded watches.

My friend won a free lesson at a local craft store and then she was hooked. She took other lessons until she got soom confidence and now she is able to follow directioins in magazines, etc. She sells a lot of her things. They are very pretty and one of a kind.

I say go for it if you are interested. Is there a bead store near you that can give you some advice on getting started?
