Drinking Straw Peyote Necklace tutorial
Linda, how is Tucker coming along. Hope you got that bill paid. It just
about broke my heart to see you sell your beautiful things for so little. Tina "bluemaxx" wrote in message . .. Bead and Button has a wonderful tutorial (pdf) on their site for peyote stitching around those hard plastic curly drinking straws. I might just give this one a try in my spare minutes.

Shirley, I don't recognize those straws. (I don't use straws). I also don't know that I'd trust plastic straws to last on something labour intensive. I think it would be cool to make that using some scrap copper tube that I have though. I think what I have was intended in some sort of engine. Maybe you have some scrap tubing that would be a better material in the first place. Tina "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

Maybe they are another USA thing. Or just not around where I live. I find it frustrating to see lovely designs in B+B then cannot do them because the components are not available here in UK.

I know that the acids from the body will do that so I would use the straw it's light weight and bendable. I do peyote stitch all the time this sounds like a great idea. Barbara Dreamkeeper |

Drinking Straw Peyote Necklace tutorial
Oh, thank you so much for asking, Tina. ))) Tucker is doing just fine
now. He doesn't even walk with a limp anymore. I am totally surprised because when I saw the xray of his leg, it was just shattered... a lengthwise jagged break with bits of bone everywhere. But his screws, wires, pins and whatnot are holding together well. I just pray everything holds up over the years. Yes, to the heartbreak over selling my jewelry and beads for so little. I try not to dwell on it. I just count myself lucky that I had the resources to earn money to pay off his bill. -- hugs, Linda Tucker-cat photos: http://www.picturetrail.com/bluemaxx "Christina Peterson" wrote in message ... : Linda, how is Tucker coming along.
