Every issue contains NEW PROJECTS covering making and using:
• Seed beads

Each issue also features:
• “FOR YOUR STUDIO” section that explains – in detail – how to master essential techniques. Example: Enamel Bead-Making Tutorial (Spring 2003)
• TIPS on basic bead stringing and bead weaving methods.
