Default 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.
