• Pros: more now
• Cons: less but still a goody

I came across volume 8 of Bead and Button magazine hiding in a collection of magazines given to me. It was so thin and different, intellectual, even, that I could not believe it was the same eye candy filled magazine that comes to my home every month. It is a very person to person magazine for the few beaders who found it! I reveled in the nostalgia. BUT... Give me pages of ads and eye candy any day. I'm so glad the magazine is a success!

I really love Bead & Button magazine because they always have the best variety of projects. I would like to see more pictures with the instructions; other than that, this is the BEST magazine on the market!

• Pros: Much more than just stringing beads
• Cons: The ADS!!!!

About half of Bead & Button magazine is ads, but at least it's thicker than most other bead magazines so it does have a fair amount of projects. Also they seem to keep all the ads together in the second half along with what I think is a waste of pages for a huge list of bead shops in the US by state. Even with all that it's still my favorite along with BeadWork magazine. To me they are the same magazine. They are so much alike so if you like one you'll like the other just as much!

• Pros: absolutely great pictures, ideas - perfect eye candy or for dreaming in beads
• Cons: many of the projects are too difficult for a rank beginner

I love this magazine...it inspires me to do more work with my beads, makes me more creative and pushes me to think "out of the box". It is just about the only magazine I will look at over and over and over...and keep "forever". Even the ads are fun - I usually explore the web sites of several - just looking! If you get just one bead magazine, I would highly reccoment this one.
