Nick, That's why I invented bead necklaces. After i invented beads, I kept spilling them. So I stored them on strings to stop that (which worked fine), little realizing the jewelery potential of what I had done. It was Veronica who 1st noticed that they looked good around her neck, with an evening gown and high heels.

It's VERY unpredictable. They call them an "extension to your fingers" and that is probably a correct description. But there ARE situations where you need to know by heart the exact length of your fingers... like when you have dropped a bead in a stack-pack container and are going for the next one. You need to KNOW that your finger has been lifted out of the container before you move your hand... or you will find yourself back on square one, swearing with your container rolling over the table and the beads back in all four corners of the room. /Nick (going back down again) -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Niclas Runarsson Skickat: den 30 november 2005 20:57 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [VFB] Lesson Hi tyers... beginners and experienced, Here I come with a lesson that I learned some 30 minutes ago: Beads... cool stuff which you can use to lots of things. My girlfriend is a IOCSF member... which means 'International Order of Cross Stitching Fanatics'. She's got BILLIONS of these small glass beads... and she is very supportive to my own addiction, which means that I got a "few" myself. This type of beads has an advantage to brass beads... they're cheap... you get a LOT for your money, but since they are so small, your eyes will fool you. They are so small, so small and they don't look like much when you pour them up in your stack-pack containers, but believe me... there are quite a number of them there! Here is where you should think twice, cause someday this will make a difference... maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow... but someday it will. Do NOT pour them all up in that stack-pack container. Load it with around 20 and put the rest aside in some kind of "reserv" storage. You WILL flip that stack-pack container over someday... and if you had them all there, you will be shocked when you see how many they actually were. It's like a cup of coffee. It doesn't look like much in the cup... but it get's VERY big when it's on the floor. And these beads are even worse. They have some kind of inner force that makes them repell eachother. You will have beads in each corner of the room... guaranteed!! Glass beads... good, cheap, lots of colors to chose from and lots of different ways to use them. But remember: There is only ONE way to store them on your tying bench... in SMALL NUMBERS!! /Nick (returning to the floor to find as many as possible)
