Beaders in Southern California

**Chahta Diamond** · 03-10-2004, 03:21 PM

I was wondering if there was anyone in southern california who beads and is willing to teach beading. I really want and need to learn and videos or books don't do it for me, I need to see someone do it. I only have one bead set for one regalia but I have 2 more now and need new beadwork.If anyone can help please let me know.

it's so nice to see that no one helps each other anymore.

That was rather unecessary to say.
you asked if there were people in Southern California who did beadwork.. if there was someone there that could help you out I'm sure they would have replied.

EVERYONE/ANYONE:
Just because no one answers doe'snt mean everyone is rude and ignoring you. Good beaders are often busy either helping someone out or finally getting to make something for themselves. And everyone should keep that in mind.

i asked if there was anyone who was willing to teach and by noone responding but plenty people viewing that seems rather obvious that no one is willing to teach.

and how many of us are in southern california that bead?
What do you want to know? If books are'nt doing it for you, then you probably do need a one on one situation.. have you thought about going to the phone book, looking up any beading shops and posting a message on thier bulletin board or seeing if they have classes or know of anyone with classes?

Black Bear is right. Most of us do care, but don't post because we are unable to help. I'm in San Francisco, if you pay for my gas and put me up for a weekend I'll teach you anything I know.

**Chahta Diamond** · 03-17-2004, 12:20 AM

I must apologize for my additude earlier. I've taken out my anger and frustrations from something else that has transpired over the last 24 hours and even though that's no excuse I am sorry.
