    It’s hip to bead because only those with creative minds can actually put together a really gorgeous piece! And I haven’t been blessed with that gift!

    Being able to make a piece that is “yours” and is as tricked out and as customized as you want it…that’s hip 🙂

    Its hip to bead because beads add gorgeous sparkle to any project, contemporary or vintage.

    I think it’s Hip to Bead because you can wear your own art work, you can share your creations with friends and family, and you can make a few bucks in this tight economy by selling your pieces.

    Thanks for offering such a great give-away.

    Hi:
    I’ve added beads to my lay out, but lately been wanting to learn to create those hips jewelry I see on beads trends.
    It’s hip to be able to create jewelry with my teen and be creative with them and be hip:)

    Oh of course it is hip to bead.

    For one thing this is a stressful world, what better way to stress less. Apart from therapeutic advantages, we end up with beautiful end results in exquisite designed pieces personalized. Beads have intrinsic unique beauty. Beads move the creative soul. When we put our creativity talent into putting beads together to produce surprising beautiful results, ah our day is made.

    What can I say…it IS hip to bead….my sons girlfriends marvel everytime they come in the house and im camped out with my old lady glasses on making something….they think im terminally hip!

    Why is it hip to bead? Because it is art on a small scale … a scale that can go to the beach, a summer lake house, a long plane ride … anywhere!

    It is hip to bead because it connects us old fogeys with the younger crowd — gives us something to share

    It’s hip to bead because you’re creating something that’s part of yourself. When you buy something made by a fellow beader, you’re supporting the arts and crafts community instead of lining the coffers of huge corporations like Walmart, and getting much better quality, too!

    Beading allows you to express yourslf in so many ways, and you can change your look in seconds! ANy art is cool, but beading is expecially cool!

    I’d love the book! Thanks for the chance.

    I think it’s hip to bead for several reasons. The number one reason is because I and addicted to beads, I love doing it and it helps me to relax. It’a a very good feeling when you complete a piece of jewelry and can’t believe that YOU did that.Next I love all the comments from family, friends and customers or even from someone that just looks at my items and comments.

    Beading to me is one of those few things that has so many aspects of connecting….literally and figuratively. It has brought the world closer,linking us. Beaders,beadmakers,vendors,clients etc.
    It keeps us in the now, but yet show’s us little glimpses of our distant past. That’s hip….

    It’s hip to bead because your creative thoughts become something of beauty. Use this creative therapy to make one of kind pieces to give as gifts.

    I just discovered beading and am already obsessed with the hip and creative wearable possibilities. Since I typically look like I fell into the Gap and am stuck there, my new cadre of beaded pieces help me feel cooler and less conformist, which is great for my “young professor” mojo.

    It’s hip to bead because it’s another way to express my creativity. With just a few beads and string I can create a treasured gift for a friend or an addition to my own jewelry box.

    It’s hip to bead because not only is it fun, relaxing, and a great outlet for creativity – you can wear whatever you make.

    Its Hip to Bead because showing your own personal style thru your own jewelry and accesorries is so gratifying and unique!Such a sense of accomplishment!

    Are you kidding? It’s so hip to have matching jewelry for every outfit! And whenever I need a gift for someone I just search through my bead staff and create something special and unique just for them. I love it!

    It’s “Hip to Bead” ’cause you can make something that fits your style & communicates your message. You can do grunge, hippie, feminist, vegetarian, environmentalist, classic, ethnic, seasonal, holiday, you name the theme/topic and you can make it happen! What’s more cool than that!
