More on bead magazines (vent)

I Love that magazine! I got mine two days ago and made the ring that's on the cover:

It was pretty easy! DD liked it, so I made here one too. I guess we have matching mother-daughter rings now.

And that is the direct result of diminished advertising. As part of my journalism degree (years ago!), I developed a mock herb magazine as a class project. There is a correlation between content and ad space sold - without one, the other has to be reduced because of costs and the limitations of the printing and binding process. I seem to remember that the magazine had to have its number of pages divisible by eight (or possibly another amount, but I think this is correct). So content was adjusted to fit the space available.

And if I'm not mistaken, the multiple pages of ads was a special part of Bead & Button to advertise businesses at the Tucson shows, and is not a normal part of the magazine. FWIW - I appreciate the ads. Gives me even more inspiration for my own creations as well as giving me an idea of what other businesses are selling. And given the size and content of B&B #1, you really wouldn't want to return to the "good old days," believe me. LOL!!

Very nice. I just got my first WAJ, and am anxious to try that one out. But I can't find any half round half hard wire in town, and my pin vise refuses to hold on to my square wire...

Maybe I should go back to rubberstamping... :-)

Hi, I just wanted to recommend Lapidary Journals Step By Step Beading Magazine. It comes out 4 times a year and the content is really great. Lots of different projects and really nice layout and format. Take a look at it in any bookstore magazine rack. Much more content and lots of focus on lampwork artist. Heck, they even put my necklace on the cover last Fall :)

I do agree with changing the images in ads, especially if an artist's work changes. It's annoying to go to a website and find that the work bears no resemblance to the ad. Ad's should be current and represent your recent body of work

Ooooh, pretty - great job!!!
