Interweave Press recently announced the launch of its new “online community” site, Beading Daily, so I paid it a visit.
It’s a really nice-looking site, full of a lot of free projects and ideas. In order to access the project instructions, you need to register on the site with your email address. This makes you a Beading Daily charter member.
Unless you opt out of emails, you will also receive a daily email newsletter that contains blog posts on three days of the week. On the other two days, you’ll receive “cool information about Interweave books, magazines, and events that may be of interest to you” (according to the Beading Daily FAQ page).
For now, all the projects are free of charge, but in the future some will be available for purchase. The project library is a combination of tutorials previously published in Interweave magazines and brand-new projects.
I know that a lot of beaders are always looking for new projects to try (especially free ones!), so I suspect that Beading Daily will become a popular site.
If you knit, you may also be interested in Interweave’s similar site, Knitting Daily, which launched earlier this summer.
