Correction!
The Fabulous Focal Bead feature in our March/April 08 issue had the following products incorrectly indentified. Here are corrected labels, with our apologies for any confusion. Page 20: #71 should be #38, Jewels n Findings. Cord #88 is by Donna Kraidman. Page 21: #104 should be #43, The Bead Goes On; #92 should be #21, Ronna Sarvas Weltman.
