@@Brigid1615 I love it! Thank you Brigid! It sounds like you eat it too!

@@valeriehector nope, but I live in the south...🪶✨️🤦‍♀️🎉💜

Hi Jane, I might not remember to let you know - but you can keep checking the "Art's Haven" page of Samantha Norgard's website for updates here - norgarddesigns.com/collections/arts-haven. Since Maggie's Master Class won't take place until the summer of 2025, it might be quite a few months before Sam announces Maggie's class. At any rate, I'm with you - what a fantastic opportinity to learn from Maggie herself, in person!

hi Becca! Thank you for liking our interview. Maggie's work is impressive for sure. Now that you mention her color choices, I see what you mean - the colors are as intrinsic to the beauty of each piece as the piece's design. Maggie is so talented - and easy to work with!

Hi @215juliusgirl - yes, Suzanne makes a marvelous fashion icon! I think she's who we all want to be when we grown up! What an amazing discovery to find out that Suzanne is a bead artist just like you! There are so many bead artists and teachers that no one can keep them all straight anymore. Another coincidence too that you both love Diane Fitzgerald's patterns! The Moroccan nailhead style is fantastic - so imaginative!

Hi, Smitasangani7274, I'm so glad you liked my second interview with Maggie Meister. She's an amazing artist and person - and I'm sure her RUclips channel will be highly successful! At the end of August, I'll be hosting Maggie for a LIVE Q & A here on my channel - exact date and time TBA. Everyone is welcome to come. More asap.

Hi @marysisti9979 - actually, I soldered the cap myself using a sterling silver disk that I dapped into a dome - and topped with a sterling silver jumpring. So it's a custom element. Similar elements can probably be found online - but I'm not sure where. I'm sorry I can't be of more help on this. In any case, I'm glad you like this stucture.

Hi Jeri! I'm glad you were able to meet Suzanne in person - and her fellow members of the NY bead group! I agree! Suzanne is an inspiration - and a wonderful artist! She and I will be recording our 2nd interview in a few days. I'll post an update on that fairly soon. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by - and please come again soon!

Hi Suzanne! I'm so glad you liked this interview with Maggie! I love her bead work too - and working with her these past many weeks has been an enjoyable process. Yes - she made the Castellani necklace twice - for the same customer. I agree - Maggie is a really special treasure! Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

Thanks Suzanne! I think you are a treasure.

Thanks for stopping by, Rita - you're welcome to come again soon!

Hi Rita, you are welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Jane, I agree! Maggie is really talented - and her designs are really inspiring!

@@angelinacroftdesigns You’re welcome, Angelina! My pleasure. Thank you for watching! I couldn’t do it without you and my other wonderful subscribers.

Thank you, @janemclean4048! I'm really glad that you liked it! Maggie's second interview launches tomorrow morning. I hope you'll like that one too.

Wow - it sounds heavenly - and overwhelming. You did what any self-respecting bead lover would do - you stayed there for hours! How good that you were in Paris and Italy, taking pictures of patterns...and floors. What a gift to have an imaginative mind!

Thank you for your nice words, @Brigid1615! Yes, Maggie was kind to recreate the lost necklace for the woman who loved it so much. Maggie has such warmth and compassion - in addition to being a gifted artist.

@@valeriehector indeed

Glad you liked it, @jgp8525 - I will try to leave images showing onscreen a bit longer for Suzanne's next interview. With every interview, my video editing skills get a little bit better. In any case thanks for watching!

Appreciate the "love!!" Thank you!

Glad you liked it, @stoddard52 - Laura is amazing in so many ways - a joy to work with, to boot!

Thank you, @beadorigami! I agree - Suzanne is very inspiring in both ways you mention. What a gift to our community - and the larger world! We're in process on our second interview now - and it will go live fairly soon. So please keep an eye out!

Thanks so much for the compliment...Glad you enjoyed the video!!

I'm really glad you liked this interview with Laura McCabe. She's amazing on so many levels. Laura definitely values creativity - and it sounds like you do, too. I imagine it's cooler there in Nova Scotia than it is here in Chicago...which probably makes everything easier - including beading! Laura will be returning to my channel for a live Q & A session that is open to all - on July 27th. So if you have questions for Laura, please make a list now. More info coming soon.

Hi Becca, Thank you for your kind words! I agree - Maggies work is absolutely gorgeous. You are welcome for these discussions. I enjoy creating each one and working with my fellow artists. We're trying to make lasting contributions to our field. We're happy to have you with us here.

Hi, Giselle! Glad you're feeling inspired to try more beading techniques! Suzanne's enthusiasm is contagious! Our second interview is in process now and should be equally inspiring! In the meanwhile, happy creating!

Glad to be an inspiration!!

Good morning Jean! I'm glad your interest in beads is returning! Long may you create! Watch for my second interview with Suzanne - which will be posted in the next week or two. She is just so inspiring!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you, @luztorres! Yes, Suzanne has a unique gift - inspiring to see!

So glad you enjoyed!!

Hi, @Liza! Thanks for stopping by. I agree that Betsy Hershberg's bead knitting designs are amazing!

Hi, Adriana! Yes, you are right - Betsy Hershberg is a true pioneer - so very gifted - a master!

Hello Anais - you are right! Betsy Hershberg's work is to be admired!

I totally agree, Sofia! Betsy Hershberg's bead knitting story is very inspiriing!

Hello Amelie! You are so right! Long may Betsy Hershberg continue to make her beautiful bead knitting designs!

Hi Charlotte! Yes, a masterclass in bead knitting from Betsy Hershberg - I'm guessing you already have her book - which is prettty fantastic!

Hi, AvaJay! You are right! Betsy is a shining talent in the bead knitting world - and the art jewelry world too! Highly intricate designs - the product of great vision - and expertise!

Thank you, @LiliShah! I'm glad you like my videos - more to come soon!

Hello, @silvergirl7810 - I guess one woman's place of joy and fulfillment - is another woman's place of abject fear. New York is many things to many people. Good thing you live somewhere else!

Don't know where you live but NYC is certainly not a "dangerous mess!" If anything it's a fabulous, energetic, creative and fashionable city and I wouldn't 't want to live any place else!!!

Thank you, @AnaisG-u7b - I agree, Suzanne is a force of nature!

Hi, @AdrianaB-r1t - You're welcome! Glad you liked this video about Suzanne! If it's inspired you to learn more about beading history, that's wonderful! Enjoy!

Thank you for saying that, @AdelinaBb-c7y! And please stop by again soon. Suzanne and I are working on Interview #2 and it should go live next week.

I totally agree, @sofia-c5o - Suzanne is constantly advancing her expertise - and she has ideas to spare!

So glad you enjoyed!!

I totally agree with you, @AmelieGh - the pieces look effortless - but as you observed, they express creativity and attention to detail - in abundance! Tomorrow Suzanne and I will be working on Interview #2 - and it should go live sometime next week after I finish the editing. So please stop by again soon!

You are so welcome, @CharlotteTylor! Thank you for taking the time to watch Interview #1. Suzanne and I are recording Interview #2 this week - and it should go live next week sometime. I think it will be equally full of beading techniques and styles - and I hope you will like it.

I'm delighted that you liked it, @AvaJay-w4l - and hope you'll stop by again soon. My second interview with Suzanne will go live sometime next week, and the images are going to be glorious - of her beaded bracelets, beaded scultpures, and her beautiful, fashionable outfits.

Thank you for saying such nice things, @user-fw7mq8rr4x! Yes, Suzanne is a beautiful person. So authentic and down to earth and creative! An American original! the next interview should go live next week. It's packed with fantastic images and video clips too.

Thank you!!

Thank you, @sofianilsson4556 - Betsy Hershberg is incredibly talented! Mastering both knitting and beads!

Thank you, @belindaeileen - I will do a Google search for Bellinni Italian thread. Maybe it's still on the market?

@@valeriehector Oh I wouldnt bother. I haven't used it since that period, I just remember it was all I could get or knew about. I'm pretty much a fireline girl now. btw, attempting a zigzag craw bangle today courtesy of your videos so thanks in advance. I'm going to stay flat for now though. Ordered your book too!

Hi @belindaeileen - you are so right! At 81, Suzanne is positively thriving in every way!

Now that could be the best compliment!! Thank you so much!!

@@suzannegolden8727 You are Fabulous Darling! Thank you for sharing your light and talent with the world!

Absolutely. I always think of that line, do not go quietly into the night. Well I don't want to go quietly and drably into old age, so women like Suzanne speak to me and make my heart glad.

@@belindaeileen - Belinda...I am right there with you....I am yelling all the way!!! xo Suzanne

Hi, @BeaRobertsArtist! I totally agree - Suzanne keeps recreating herself and trying out new ideas! With courage and creativity to spare!

Thanks so much!!

Hi, @nancygranert7787! I'm glad you liked our interview! And yes, it was good that you got to take a class with Maggie back then! I've heard she's a marvelous teacher - and know personally that she's a marvelous human being too.

Hi there, @tishsmiddy71 - I take it you like Suzanne and her work? She and I will be recording Interview #2 in the near future, all about her bracelets and beaded sculptures - so please check back soon! Thanks for stopping by!

@@valeriehector I will ,I will ! She’s amazing 🤩

Hi Lorraine! Thank you for your positive feedback - I will be working with Suzanne again next week on Interview #2 - which will go live in the near future. So please stay tuned! And in the meantime, happy beading to you.

Thank you so much for your lovely compliment!! It is very much appreciated!!
