You Need It, I Can Bead It!

My Thoughts about the Beading World

Hi

This is where you can access my comments by PDF

 about things going on in the world of beading. It is

my personal view, my thoughts, my opinions.

If you have any questions or comments about anything

I have said please contact me at beadwest@hotmail.com

Statement:

I have been spurred to start this commentary due

 to a recent outcry from beaders. The cry came

from hurt artists and emerging talents who read a

series of writings from a well known bead artist about

 her feelings of the bead world and the beaders in it.

I too have read it and found some points interesting,

 true even; some funny and also some that made my

 head turn in shame.

This commentary was not born upon the fact that I am

righting any wrongs or saying anyone else’s opinion

is not right.

I feel too, that there are things we should ponder;

as people, as artists, as caretakers of our craft.

My name is Rafannette Dooley and I can be contacted at beadswest@hotmail.com if anyone would like to comment

on anything I say.
