A camera, a Canon S200 Elph. It's a really simple point and shoot job, but I love it, because I'm really not a photographer at all.

I didn't include the Czech because I wasn't sure it really was Czech. It was from a package of beads where I didn't quite know the origin, and I didn't want to mislead anyone.

I have a couple more stitches I want to try, but not tonight. I was especially surprised at how icky a sample of Ndebele came out with the 6/0 craft store beads. Of course, I did absolutely no culling. If I had been culling, it would have made a huge difference.

Perhaps I'll cull 100 grams of each type of beads, and compare the number of beads I have to throw away. As I was working, I realized that the Miyuki beads were probably much less expensive than the craft store type, because there would be less waste and because the holes are so much bigger.

P.S.: Just credit me as - K. Nicklas-Varraso, 2003

(thanks!)

Me, too. I will make a print-out to show my students. But I would like to know how to format your credit line, too. Just so it matches what you would like it to say.

Thanks. Entered exactly that way in my document.

Wow - what a difference. Since I only use the seeds for stringing I hadn't really paid much attention - but on weaving - geez.

Thanks for the pics!
