    Don't ask me why I did it, but I had nothing else left to string ... really need more pearls. And findings. But I will never do it again. Ever. 70" 6-7mm dyed freshwater goldens. It was a complete nightmare. I measured out the powerpro, then mistakenly cut the 30lb rather than 10lb I meant to...

    Thanks guys ... I've now run out of stuff to string apart from a run-of-the-mill rope. Need more pearls. I've got 10 strands of lampwork beads coming in, and at least 5 that I don't have the pearls to string with. It's an affliction ...

    In humans with hemophilia you inject factor VIII, but that's very expensive.

    New pearl/lampwork rosebud necklace, plus the one from yesterday in better light. Sometimes I think I do it because I like taking and uploading pics.

    Legend Blue

    I have actually mentioned them before for their designs, just never had the cash to buy from them. I wanted the Akoya spider ring/pendant. I would probably still buy from them in the future, if I wanted an unusual setting and interesting design. Pics please!

    I'm so far gone ... problem is I'm just not confident enough to start selling. Here's the only one I strung today. Pink drops with garnet and daisy spacers. A bit dark as it's night time.

    All I want is more of pearls ... big white ones, giant keshi, druzy, spice pearls, fireballs, you name it. Argh!!! And I haven't been paid at my job! I really am working to support a habit. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. PA.

    So you can knot beading wire? I might get some in next time then ... serves as a backup if I have to redo any. The diameters are bigger than 10lb power pro though. Do you still use double strands?

    Who were the lucky ducks who got the fireballs?

    Does anyone have pics of those? I did want some fireballs, but ended up not checking my email before bed.

    Had enough yet? I was planning a pink drop with garnet and daisy spacers to hide the knots. I don't quite like silver daisy spacers so I didn't put any with the lavender ones.

    I can't take credit for the pearl/rose quartz ... she saw a bracelet design in pearl/aquamarine retail, and wanted it in rose quartz. They could custom make it, but the quality of the pearls was so horrible (they used Akoyas, and the blemishing was huge!) I said I'd do it with the matching...
