got my mermaid bead today!

wow. just...wow. amazing. the picture in the auction of the mermaid was beautiful, but nothing compares to actually holding it in my hand and looking at it. it's absolutely jaw droppingly stunning. I can forsee myself buying many, many more beads like this.

I think I'm just going to string her on a cord..nothing fancy. I might knot pearls or little dichro glass beads onto it, but that'll probably be it. the mermaid is beautiful enough to not need any sort of intricate or flashy necklace to support her.

I showed her to my mother, and now she understands exactly how I managed to spend $100 at a bead show. she didn't know people could make beads like that, and was quite impressed.

here's a link to the auction, for those that didn't see my first post about it..

I also got five little green dichroic glass beads in the mail. today is a good day for beading.

Wow, cool -- and so neat about your mom's consciousness-raising! (Uh oh....might she become caught in the bead web too, eventually?)

but at least she understands now that it's quite easy to spend lots of money on this hobby. though I really think of it more as an addiction than a hobby. good thing I have a job, or pretty soon I'd be hanging around the local bead shop, jittering around asking people if they could spare a few bucks for some seed beads.

"c'mon, man..just some seed beads..or maybe a swarovski crystal or two..you don't know what it's like to be addicted to the crystal, man..you can spare five bucks!"
