	CraftsReport: Insight Beads
		Bead artists need to understand and respect that techniques are out there for everyone to use, but combinations of techniques producing specific results may be unique to a certain artist.
		But, if the jeweler has paid for the bead, it is their bead and we have to rely on the integrity of the jeweler as to whether or not he shares the name of the bead artist.
		Bead artists who are concerned about the use of their beads should not offer for sale those beads that they do not wish to see in jewelry or have a contract defining the specific uses or rules under which the bead or beads can be used.

	Robin Atkins - bead artist, author, and teacher - biographical statement, interview, resume
		It was there that she found sources for unusual glass beads and began a long-term interest in the ethnic beading of Eastern Europe.
		"She had so much knowledge about beads and an indomitable spirit, which was fascinating to me." Atkins first met Harris when the latter presented a lecture on glass bead making at a NW Bead Society meeting, which gave Atkins good leads on where to find and buy glass beads abroad.
		Put simply, she says "I learned that beading is more than a craft, but art and history as well." Today, though Atkins lectures, teaches workshops, and has her work shown in galleries and venues around the country, she still feels very much like a student.

	TCR Online Exclusive (TCR 2/99)
		In the beginning, the biggest challenge I had was not being able to make beads right away, because I didn't have the equipment yet, so I kept a journal of drawings and ideas that I could refer to later, made business cards, registered my business, and did some other business preparations while I was waiting.
		I think the biggest disadvantage that most bead artists have today is new bead makers who take the developed style of an established bead artist and claim it as their own idea.
		For me, exploring new ideas is a part of the joy of making beads, and I am constantly surprised when I see "knock offs" of not only my own work, but also several other well-known artists.
