Oh you guys should see this bead! Talk about KLUNK!? It is a big, heavy, hunk of beautiful glass. More pink than the photo showed but that's fine with me - I like pink. :-)
I'll have to take it to BeadFest and find some special beads to combine it with. I have a couple of ther beads that I need to figure out a project for so maybe my beads and I will have several conversations there. (If you see a somewhat dazed-looking blonde/grey-haired woman talking to a sack of beads, chances are it's me. Please intorduce yourself. I'm basically harmless.)
