One of those evenings. . .

Dec 23, 2003 37 Replies

did you ever have one of those evenings when, for whatever reason, nothing was working quite right?



and then all of a sudden, the light dawned.



and everything went together almost by itself? usually in the middle of the night? i had one of those last night. i've been futzing with these beads for weeks [started in Bremerton, didn't like what was happening and took it apart]. they've been bugging me ever since, and i had what i thought were the right colors picked out . . . all in a bag together, sitting there on my tray - just staring at me.



and then, all of a sudden . . .



this was the result:

VERY yummy!! Susan's beads are gorgeous!! And you certainly did pick out the right colors to go with them!

Pretty! I like the color combination.

My office mate and I just got into an "argument" about how the clasps were made. Did you make them? Are they soldered or just wire-wrapped? Would it be possible to see a picture of the back of them?

Thanks!

no, i didn't make them! the back and front are exactly alike. and yes, the joints are soldered. no wire wrapping as i know it. [another reason for me to learn!] i got them from Mary, and i can't remember where she said they came from - - one of her bulk buys.....

WOW!!!! Thats a REALLY nice set you made there Vicki. Too bad I am broke, cause I'd probably buy it if I weren't (and if it was for sale).

oh, it's for sale - but that wasn't why i was posting it here, so i didn't put in that part. **grin** actually, i really, really, like the way it came out - - it's tempting to keep it, but i'd need a new outfit to set it off . . . hmmmmmmm.

now see what you made me do?
