Nice match of stone to beads - Excellent work, only comment, remember to close your clam shells near the clasp - they're made to hide your thread. If you want an extra secure knot, add a dab of glue to the knot
Nice job drilling those stones

Love that Turrela. They're all beautiful! I've never gotten into the beading yet or hole drilling. Just too much to learn.

Nice Stefan! Got the "bug" did ya'! LOL!
Re using a dab of glue - DON'T use superglue. The lady that has the beading shop here said the superglue will get brittle and cause the knot to actually break and come undone. She said just plain ole Elmers is the best.
Ya' gotta learn how to reside your pics though! It's really difficult to tell what something actually looks like when you can't see the whole item in one spot. Having to scroll across the screen and see it in bits and pieces doesn't do it justice. Resizing is easy. All photo programs have a resize feature. Click on the "edit" feature and you should be able to find it fairly easy. If you can't find it there, photobucket and most photo places on the web also have a resize feature. Just click on the "edit" button. You can resize in inches, pixels and % of original size.

Looking good man. Are these going on ebay? or are you doing what I usually do, give them away to friends and family? As for pic size, glad I have DSL!

Sorry all for the size- Umm Well lets see- OK my home laptop started to die (the screen took 10 min. to warm up) And in a desperate attempt to save what we have on the computer- I burned all our pictures and scans to CD- then I just plain forgot to downsize em- But man You can really see the detail- Thanks all for comments- Especially the superglue thing! I was gonna sell these but the wife Has grabbed all but 2- one was a present for my mom (birthday) and the other my mother in law wants (except longer) so I guess it's back to the beading board for me!
