I am just one person who loves to make all kinds of jewelry and who loves to teach and share with others. Those who want to learn and who like to challenge themselves to explore all the wonderful techniques and glorious materials available today.

The Alluring Bead Boutique is my Primary outlet for sharing my creativity with you.

And those who want to learn how to put it all together to develop their own signature, style and brand.

I do all of this from the perspective of a Jeweler with a small home studio and business and on a Variety of Online Platforms. 

Here is a break down of all the various ways I operate and how you can help specifically with each one. 

My Blog and My Shops

It has taken a lot of work and a few years to get my Business defined and set my goals in more  a professional manner.

With only a limited amount of time, I decided to use my Blog to reach out to my followers and build my brand. 

Think of it as the Central Hub for all things ~ The Alluring Bead Boutique.

There are many ways you can help me continue to provide free content, some are obvious and others not so much.

Subscribe to My Channel

I started providing free tutorials on my YouTube channel within the first few months of my jewelry making journey. 

The main reason I started tutorials was to share what I was learning from a Left Hander’s perspective. As soon as I get a skill mastered, I share it. 

My Skillshare Channel

How You Can Help

  • Upload Pictures of your Project
  • Follow my Channel while you are a Subscriber to Skillshare
Start your Free Trial

Skillshare is an online community that provides 1000’s of classes for a monthly subscription rate. 

I started teaching on Skillshare to help offset the costs of my supplies and time investments to teach jewelry and small studio operations to the public. 

My classes there are not available on any other of my online venues, except for a few that I also have Patterns available, so that you can choose the source that best suits your needs. 

My Patreon Channel

How You Can Help

  • Become a Patron 
  • Choose a Tier of Support $1 – $3 – $5 per month
  • Enjoy the Extra Benefits for the higher tiers. 

This year I am building my presence on Patreon. My goal is to encourage my follower’s to provide a modest amount of support to help me continue providing content here on my Blog and on my YouTube Channel.

Patreon is a crowdfunding membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, with ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or “patrons”

Summer 2019

I have a new series of Back Office Posts in the works for the Summer Season. In addition, I am working on adding a few new pages to The Alluring Bead Boutique that correlate to this series and that I hope you will find very useful.

First up is a Resources Page, which I have had in mind since I began all of this. You will be able to quickly access and download Charts, Infographics and Handy How To and Tip Sheets for your jewelry design and home based business. 

I will also be adding an Affiliates page which will provide you with links Resources I use to build my website, my brand and my business. Most of the Links are to my Affiliate services but there will also be some that you can use to sign up for your own affiliate programs.

So Stay Tuned
