Question about "thread"
My favourite local bead store closed down. : (
I used to get this stretchy stuff that looked like dental floss from them that is great for making stretchy bracelets with. Can anyone tell me the name of it so I can call and ask the other LBSs if they have it or look for an on-line source? Thanks! - Sandy www.preciouslittlethings.ca |

Stretch Magic? Upon looking at this on-line, I don't think it is Stretch Magic. Stretch Magic is monofilament, from what I can tell. I have some of this and it does make fine bracelets but it isn't what I was thinking of. The stuff I used to get is multi-filament and is a lot like stretchy dental floss. It is flat and more pliable. Thanks, though. I appreciate it. - Sandy |

Can anyone tell me the name of it so I can call and ask the other LBSs if they have it or look for an on-line source? I found it! It is called Gossamer Floss. If you haven't used this stuff before you should try it, it is awesome! I'm going to try other LBSs first and then look for on-line sources. Thanks for your help! - Sandy www.preciouslittlethings.ca |

Thanks! - Sandywww.preciouslittlethings.ca From your description, it sounds like Opelon. Check out the threads section of my stores website http://www.pristinesbeads.com on page 2. I have a picture of it. While I am not specifically targeting you guys for sales, I will answer if I think I can help. Yes Christina, I do more than just own a bead store, I also bead, which I consider to be a substantial detail in my life. Through my Doctoral personal I write and research on Suicide (primarily Adolescent Suicide) and Other Social Rebalancers. My current manuscript is at Corwin Press Sage, and is in the Peer review stage. Its working title is Adolescent Transitional Suicide: Strategies for Coping, Surviving and Thriving Over Time, and hopefully it should be on the market in fairly early 2008. I have taught for the University system since 1976, and for the first time this July, I managed to be without a UAF affiliated assignment! I am strongly toying with not going back, although my work on Adolescent Suicide should be a course, and I may end up teaching it. But for now, I am enjoying the potentially brief retirement. I am currently doing my traditional talk to myself, walk in circles and stare at the ceiling over the beginning of my next academic effort. It is on Change, (Which may change -- slightly *grin*) Social reform, balance, logic and other nearly-related topics. -- Yes, I have worked for the university for years, but I prefer to write privately. With all due respect, my spouse use to think I was strange for beading, now he encourages it as beading keeps me substantially less- strange, which I refer to as balance. As landlords we have been especially busy for the last 45 days cleaning, repairing, and re-renting 5 of our rentals, ranging from 2bedroom apartments, full houses, and warehouse units. Currently I am tired of scrubbing, carpet laying, shampooing, painting, wiring, sheetrocking, taping, and mudding. "I want to bead!" But, I have recently moved my personal office from the house area to the "old beadstore" area of the building, and my world is never in balance when my desk is not-in-proper-operational-order, so finishing up my new office setup is an absolute priority. Then I will be able to bead in comfort. Well, this is a little bit more about me, if it was more than you wanted to know, sorry for the ear-bending. Joan |
