On Saturday, the obsession escalated. Actually, it was just that i finally got heavy (“3×3″) crimps for the 49 strand soft coated wire. I had some very fine beading wire, but i never seemed to get the crimed beads on tight enough. That was the point of failure for my key card holder and an immediate failure on Friday night with the green and grey necklace.
Not only did i restring the green and grey necklace, but also the blue and gold “key card holder.” I created a focal point from the beads i had bought last February and with the 20 gauge gold plated copper wire. I also restrung the bracelet i’d made for Christine last year (June 2003?). The wires had gotten loose and she had trouble with the toggle clasp. I made my own clasp from the 20 gauge gold wire — but my clastp was longer than the original, so the bracelet is too loose. I’ll eventually restring it for her — AGAIN.
I’ve Rhodonite & Sodalite projects for myself, as well as the ones purchased today from eebeads.
