I have been beading for around 10 years. Really seriously this past year.
I love Czech pressed beads. They come in so many colors and sizes and
shapes. They are made so much better than the indian beads. Most of the
time they are translucent in vibrant colors.
I also love Czech seed beads size 11o. I find 11o are more consistent in
size and shape.
I have since learned a new technique that was given to me here were I can
combine my love of the two forms. I have just finished another bracelet
with the embellished brick stitch. All I can say is WOW! I will post pics
hopefully tomorrow.
Here is a picture of the first:

I've been beading since I was 12 (off and on, now ON). That's 38
years, sheesh. Started making hippie love beads. Time sure
flies.....Lily, thanks for posting the link to Bead Notes (aka
Encyclopedia Beadtannica).

I've done odds and ends of beading forever. Consistently beading for 15 or
20 years. Seriously beading since I joined this group 3 1/2 years ago.
First go to the library for "eye candy". Think about what you're interested
in. Stringing requires less technical skills, but greater investment of
money. "Bead weaving" is wildly fascinating and versatile. It requires
less investment but is very time consuming.
And then play. That's the most important thing.

Just a couple months. I'm really a quilter. But both are relaxing for very
different reasons.
Beading is about as relaxing as painting, but I STINK as a painter.
Quilting relaxes a different part of my brain.
