Beads & Beyond British Magazine Giveaway

, by .

Beads & Beyond is a relatively new monthly beading magazine from Britain, starting Oct 2007. Its the UK’s leading monthly beading magazine.

Sold in the US, but not anywhere I could find locally, so I emailed them. They were kind enough to send me a copy to review plus a few extra for giveaways. I really like this magazine, it is more like “adornment for body and home” rather than just jewelry.  Their about us states: “Unlike other traditional beading magazines, Beads & Beyond offers a modern and innovative approach to decorating with and creating beads.”   I think they have completely hit the mark with that.

The current issue which has a gorgeous cover in aqua & orange (which is one of my fave color combos!) also projects that range from wireworking, beading, metal work to knitting as well as a millinery project!!! REALLY covers alot of creative areas! I love that! Always something fresh to inspire you.

So, would you like to get a copy of this for yourself???  

I’ll be picking 3 lucky winners to recieve the June 2008 issue of this gorgeous magazine. All you have to d do is leave a comment below on why YOU would like to have a copy.  Please, also include an email so I can contact you if you are chosen.  Winners will be chosen and notified on June 15th,2008.

  7. I have a friend who loves beading and I would like to give her this magazine so she can make pretty things for me! 🙂

  8. I’m fairly new to jewelry making, but love it! I’m also looking for ideas and inspiration, so count me in!

  9. It sounds like a fantastic magazine for inspiration. I’d love to absorb it and also share it with my beading and clay students.
    Crossing my fingers- all of them.

  10. I had a chance to see Beads&Beyond at B&N. It was a case of the grass is always greener on the other side of the pond. Very nice!

  11. Fun magazine! I’ve seen it at Barnes & Noble bookstore here in Maryland. I’d love a free copy!

  14. Whether I win or not, I really appreciate being turned on to this mag! It is exactly the type of publication I’ve been looking for.

    You ROCK!!! (but you already knew that, right??) 😉
