Wow--so many to choose from! I've learned so much from LWE that it is very hard to choose--but I'll try. I love this thread with beadroller beads--because I love beadroller and the inspiration of all the beautiful sets --and because many people share their recipes. It has really encouraged me to make more sets.

Does anyone remember a thread that I thought was called, "Can't use that rod" or something similar--and it encouraged us to use our expensive rods we were saving? I loved it but can't find it!
My tip--try a kote if you haven't already. My beadmaking improved so much after I switched to this tool for marvering. You can get them at ARTCO:

Also, buy Jacqueline's Recipe books before she retires them on April 20--they are FANTASTIC!!!! (75 Lampwork Bead Recipes and 50 Organic Lampwork Bead Recipes): (

Sorry, my tips are both about buying something!
