Magazines

Recommended Magazines to inspire you

Once in a while you need to turn to a good book or magazine to find information about beading! Here are some of my favorite magazines. Keep in mind that if you are making jewelry to sell that you cannot copy designs straight from a magazine and sell it. The design is copyrighted by the designer. I use my magazine subscriptions for tips, ideas and inspiration.

Bead and Button - Bead and Button to me is THE definitive magazine for beaders.

Beadwork - Beadwork is a nice magazine. A lot of the designs are more stitching/needlework based now. If that is your specialty, this is a great magazine to subscribe to. If you are just starting out or more interested in stringing, etc. try one or 2 of the other magazines below.

Art Jewelry - I believe this used to be called Lapidary Journal. It's definitely geared towards Jewelry Artists, and the designs are pretty advanced and require more than just stringing skills, tools and supplies. Interesting if you want to branch out into making your own jewelry components, etc.

Step by Step Wire - If you like working with wire or are just getting started adding more wire to your designs, this is a great resource.

BeadStyle - this is one of my favorites. There's always a variety of designs and patterns.

Stringing - this is another one of my favorites.

Bead Unique - I don't subscribe to this one, but it looks interesting.
