Sorting & Organizing Beads
I'm currently working on my craft room (yes, back *again*!) Since

Shirley,
I'm oohing and aahing over the pearl necklace/coral technique. Just

Cheers,
Carla

Anyone hate working with specific colors?
For me, it's brown. I've been trying to use it more, with things like
smokey topaz and tiger's eye. But in general, it's a color that turns
me off.
Cheers,
Carla

OT Can we have a roll call.
Hey Maren :)
What are you making these days?
(I admit I'm having way too much fun (spending way too much time) at
lampwork etc.)
I've mostly been making a mess :) Seriously, bouncing around...

Big Beads
My LBS is now selling pins for large and large-hole beads. They're like
heavy-duty headpins and eyepins. Of course, now I'm wondering what I
did with the ones I bought a few weeks...

Hey Tina,
And I have beads that I got when I first started buying lampwork that
are colors (pastels) or styles (dots) that just aren't really my
thing. I'm trying to put things like that...

Happy Saturday - what is everybody doing?
It's been much too hot here to even *think* about turning on the oven
for baking clay, or microwaving for fusing. Not much inspiration for
even stringing beads. So...I just finished cutting out...

Tina,
I understand your aversion to fire, but if you could stand a creme
brulee torch, it actually only takes seconds to make headpins. You do
have to use fine silver wire instead of sterling,...

My first wire-wrap necklace
Hey Maren,

too "mushy" and not very sturdy...
