vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kathy N-V :
]If the Egyptians could do it without the benefit of power ]tools, I think I can, too. There will likely be cursing involved.
i have faith in you!
]On my seed bead version, I plan to use staggered scarab beads and a straight ]pin as a closure. It's hard to explain, but think of a pin in a door hinge. ]I wish I could scribble on a napkin to show you, but when I make the ]bracelet, I'll be sure to take pictures of the clasp.
please! clasps fascinate me!
]Why yes, I have spent hours looking at the picture, so I can figure out this ]stuff. :-)
**grin** i can't wait to see your finished product!!! could i suggest taking interim pictures of the process of creating the clasp???----------- @vicki [SnuggleWench] (Books)
