[edit] New wiki
I have just started a new wiki at Craftacular.com. It runs on the same software as wikipedia, but the goal is a little different.
I am working to make it a central resource for all things related to crafts. A central, on-line repositiory of patterns, techniques, tutorials, tip & tricks, etc that people can use as a resource. It will be a place that encourages opinions. I'm (obviously) just getting started, but I'm reaching out to crafters to ask them if they'd be willing to contribute some of their expertise or help me get the word out.
I appreciate any help that you can lend. It's going to take a lot more people than just myself to get this baby up to its full potential.
Also, please let me know if this comment is unwelcome. It's my understanding from reading wikipedia's rule/terms of use that this would be an appropriate place for a post like this. Thanks!
[edit] Techniques
I have a site Beading Techniques and Tutorials that features different type of online tutorial for different basic beading techniques from Peyote Stitch, Brick Stitch, Square Stitch, Right Angle Weave, African Helix, Bead Netting, Triangle Weave, Bead Cross Stitch / Beadpoint, Bead Loom Work Weaving, Appliqué beadwork Bead Embroidery to individual themed projects. All free to share and readily online without the need to download. Thanks for consideration of my personal site.
[edit] where can I make a useful contribution
As Davis says, there is another wiki with information, but there are a lot of gaps in this Wikipedia article. I'd like to see it develop. I'm not a beading professional, but I do have more than a knowledge of the basics and would be happy to do anything I can. Should major contributions go in a Sandbox or just straight on the page? --Hikinghotsauce 22:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- With the information that's here right now, just put it on the page. It can't hurt. JDub90 16:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to add that I have found one of the better bead suppliers, particularly when it comes to quality beads and historic beads is WaltersBeads.com. Low prices, but just as important, many hard to get early beads.Good Source
