heavy beads; new photos
I am finding that my larger beads are pretty heavy when made up into a
necklace. I wonder what the group has used as a light weight core? How did you make the core, or where did you buy the core beads? Do you coat them with PVA glue before applying the clay? I have read some on this subject on glassattic.com (the first place I look for info) but would be interested in hearing from the group about their experiences.

Oooh, I like the coral set!
IMHO, big PC beads are only "heavy" in comparison to little PC beads. They are still pretty lightweight compared to glass or stone. Georgia "dxdjewelry" wrote in message oups.com...
