Yet Another Jewelry Making Magazine

Yesterday, I was out of town visiting my fabulous nephews and while in a bookstore checking out some of the childrens section goodies, I wandered over to the magazine racks to see if there might be a jewelry or beading magazine of interest. As I was browsing, I noticed what (to me) was a new title: Creative Jewelry, published by Primedia (the same folks who publish Lapidary Journal, Step by Step Beads, and Step by Step Wire, among many other magazines). I remembered sending a project off to Step by Step Beads awhile back and receiving an acceptance email, but the editor said it would be published in Creative Jewelry. I thought this might be just a special issue magazine or something, so I didnt think much about it. However, after picking up this new issue from the rack, it seems this is volume 4. So, Ive missed a few. Also, my article was in there on page 61.

This has got me thinking.how many jewelry making and beading magazines are out these days?

Off the top of my head, here are a few titles:

Bead and Button
Beadwork
Creative Jewelry
Step by Step Bead
Step by Step Wire
Jewelry Crafts
BeadStyle
Lapidary Journal
Art Jewelry
Belle Armoire
Stringing
Simply Beads

I bet I’m missing some too!
