Good news, bad news, good news
The good news - I finished the Da Vinci Code yesterday...The bad news - I spent all day reading and not making beads....The good news - I'm making beads all day today!
The book was a lot of fun, and when I like a book, everything in the world stops until it's done. When Harry Potter IV came out last July, we picked our copy up at midnight and I spent all night reading it...It throws my schedule all outta whack, but eventually I get back into the groove...So now I'm back and ready to work...
A few questions came in about 'how do I know if I've voted?"...I DO appreciate all the votes, ya'll rock! In order to vote for me, you *must* click on the link in the right column - the one that tells you that you'll get curly hair for your vote..If you simply click on my link when you're already on Artzee, it will add a tick to the 'out' column, but not to the 'in' column. Other than that, i can't tell who's voted and who hasn't...which is why you have to email me and tell me that you've voted...and yep- i add your name to my Hat everytime you vote.
More later...

I read it too, pretty much non-stop as you did. Except... for shopping, since I was in Tucson for my annual bead shopping spree. But since the shows tend to close at 6, there's lots of time to read! and no time to sleep.

Donna!
I love your jewelry....can you share with us how you fastened the findings?
I cannot see entire necklace, so I can't tell how it is put together, looks like the center piece is strung differently than rest of necklace?
THANKS!

I strung the beads on Beadalon and used crimp tubes to secure it. The ends are strung through 'crimp end rings' that is a crimp bead and jump ring combo. i then use leather to connect the ends together.
there's a larger version of this exact style on my Frits Testing page...
The clasp end has the crimp tube jump ring attached to jump rings that are attached to toggles. I'll take a pic of the ends and post them for ya'll...
