I've had an amazing couple of years writing for About.com Beadwork, and the time has come for me to move on to other projects. I'm so glad to have met so many awesome, inspiring beaders along the way, and I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone -- and continuing to explore the art of beadwork -- long into the future. In 2013 I encourage you to keep on beading, getting better at what you do and discovering more of your hidden talents! Always feel free to keep in touch; just search for "Chris Franchetti Michaels" online to find out what I'm up to.
