  1. Hi, i love beading, tend towards more ethnic stuff. big problem i have is mounting tumbled stones onto a necklace, so i’m just superglueing them onto a little beadfinding silver thingy and then use wire to attach to the necklace, it looks horrific, but what other options are there?

  2. Hi amandzing. Thanks for stopping by. Give me a few days and I’ll leave you some links to various options you can use to use to mount your stones.
    I stopped by your site and read some of your poems. I got caught up in them and now it’s 10 o’clock! They are very good.

  3. those are great, i think i like the spiral the most. perhaps i should take a photo and send it to you, so you can get an idea of what it is i’m doing, the idea is mainly for the tumbled, undrilled, stone to rest against the skin in order to get the best out of the various properties of the various stones i use. but the spiral looks the easist of them all.

  4. he-he ironic how blog “intentions” turn into blog “actions”!

    I had a whole “intent” for mine to get me away from the “actions” I was doing before and well am doing again ;)

    then again, just getting the “voices” out of my head, is better than them rattling around on their own alone :)

  5. I found you through Kaylee’s site.

    Beads! I haven’t a clue as to how you have the patience for that. I have a friend that was part of my travel team for a few years. She, too, loves beads.

    She made for me (on something no bigger than an egg) the colors of the flag of Romania…it has almost 12, 000 beads! When I first saw it, I was shocked. I asked “Why in the world would you spend your time doing all this work?” Her answer humbled me. She said, “It will always remind you of our time there during the revolution”

    All I could say to her was, “WOW!”

    Kindest Regards,

    Michelle

  6. What a wonderful story, Michelle. 12, 000 beads! Good gracious. I can only imagine the time it took. I bet it is beautiful. And you being in Romania during the revolution! WOW! That must have been quite the experience.

    I find doing bead work relaxing. It’s my own little escape from the hectic world. :)

    Thanks for stopping by,
    Take care

  7. How ya doin?!! If you need beads, I just blogged about a bead place I found on ebay-only 1.99 shipping to Canada. How tempting is that? LOL! Doesn’t really fit with the job creaton post, though-sorry. What can I say-beads win with me evry time. LOL!
