F A Q |
1. How do I navigate your site? |
This site is best viewed using Mozilla Firefox because this is my favorite browser to use and it makes web page design a lot easier to do. In order to get around on this site you will see the menu and indexes on my pages. Check out my site map to help you further! If you get lost or confused about any or all of this and you need my assistance, then please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you. |
2. Who is Dig's Art? |
Dig's Art was something that I came up with back in 2008 when I was looking to create a website to sell my jewelry and host giveaway contests. I had my personal/family website Digupstuff's Site previously, but that just wasn't doing what I wanted it to. Basically, Dig's Art sprang up from my user name Digupstuff that I had been using since 1997-98 when I first got online. |
3. OK, then who is Digupstuff? |
Hi! It's me, Elizabeth Beeney-Freville (click here to view my picture! *waves@u!!!*). It's been my username since 1997-98. I wanted something that went with my Anthropology degree and this fit me to a tee. My husband's username is Fixupstuff and that fits him pretty well too. At present, we live in the suburb of Putney/Radium Springs area of Albany, Georgia. Although I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan (mostly Swartz Creek/Grand Blanc areas), I guess I have become one of those transplanted, "damn Yankees" that you heard tell about. You know, the kind who won't ever leave? LOL!

4. When did you start making handmade jewelry? |
I first started beading back in 1987, when I met a classmate and good friend at Michigan State University who, in turn, had a Potawatomi friend who worked Native American beading on a small loom. He taught me how to make some pretty nice bracelets and necklaces with that loom (thank you Ty!). I sold a few really cool necklaces back when I first got online in 1997-98, and that was the beginning of my dream of making my own unique designs! After that, basically I learned and am still learning to this day via YouTube and other online sources (check out my sources in the link section below). |
5. Do you sell your handmade jewelry and if so, what payment methods do you accept? |
As of June 5, 2011, yes! Also, my prices have dropped for some fun Summer sales! If you are interested in anything that I have in my Gallery, then please look for the PayPal link toward the bottom of the page. |
6. Do you have a return policy on your jewelry? |
Yes! If you receive an item from me that has arrived in a damaged state, then please send me a photo of the damaged piece via email. I will do my best to replace said item and get it into the mail to you asap! I aim to please and want my winners to be happy. |
7. What about shipping and handling? |
If you are one of my contest winners, I offer FREE shipping and handling. If you live in the USA and you would like to purchase some of my piecess, then there will be a charge of $4.95 for shipping and handling. Outside the USA, I have no idea what the cost would be, but if you contact me, then we can chat about it and figure it out, OK? |
8. Do you have a privacy policy? |
Personal stuff like email addresses, home addresses or anything else shall be kept confidential and will never intentionally be shared or sold to anyone here, ever! Spam and junk mail are a nuisance to me as I am sure they are to you as well. |
9. Are there any videos of your work online? |

Yes! Dig's Art has been featured on...eHow (2009)Beaders Showcase (July 6, 2009) Mixed Media Workshops (April 24, 2010) |
11. Do you have a degree? |
Yes! I graduated from Florida State University in the Spring of 1995 with a major in Anthropology and a minor in Art, Religion and Philosophy. Before that I went to Tallahassee Community College and they gave me my Associates in Arts degree in Criminal Justice back in 1991. I graduated from Grand Blanc High School back in 1977.

13. Where do I go for your updates? |
To get the updates to this site or any new news, please check out the newest, "News" link on the menu bar! At first I created this link to a page on this site, but I am using LiveJournal once again. Mainly because the site has an excellent archive system for such things. |
14. Do you have your own signature style? |
After my friend Ty showed me how to bead on a loom. I started making Native American looking necklaces and putting on a lobster clasp in order to hold and change out charms with ease. To date, I have not seen anyone on the www doing this except me. YAY! That's a good thing, right? I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for new ideas in the jewelry making craft. Since then, I've made a few original designs. You can check those out in either my gallery or my treasure menu links. |
15. Have you ever won any contests online? |
Yes and it looks like this is my year to do so too! Here are the links to the videos and what I won:

19. How do you store your beads? |
I'm making my craft/office a craft "lab" area because I'm crazy about CSI type stuff. I store most all of my beads in old, plastic Gerber baby food containers and keep them in a little CSI case that I bought online at E-Bay for around $50. I also have a red (for my Feng Shui South section in my room!), 36 drawer unit that I bought at Sears (in the tool section) for around $20. I keep that on a shelf above my desk where I store other beads, and stuff. Here's the photos to show you what I mean...CSI caseCSI bead storage1 CSI bead storage2 Red bead storage |
20. Links and Sources. |
Yes! I have moved my favorite links and sources to the pull down menu below. I have also placed some of my affiliate links here as well because I am finding out that they really help me keep this site up and running! Please note that I research many of the pieces that are my own original creation way before I make them by scouring the internet to be certain that no one else has the same idea that I have. If you feel that I have made something that I did not credit you as a source for, just contact me, show me proof, and I will do my best, whatever you would like me to do (ie. take it off, credit you as the source, etc.) to make things right with you. I don't want to steal anyone's fire here. That is not my intention. I am a peace keeper and wish no harm to anyone, ever!
