Re: Swarovski Crystal

I was one of the ones who suggested Fireline. You can buy it at the following, but it doesn't come in black (you can buy it in grey). Also -- you can find ANYTHING online by going to Google.com:

Roxanne, you really have to go to this source and look. Your eyes will fall out, and you'll name your next child/pet after me:

Bicones -- but not the rounds, or 5040s, which aren't sharp. (Well, for most people -- I'm not sure about you.) I could not LIVE without Swarovski crystals, myself. ~~ Sooz

Don't worry about using grey insead of black. It blends right in on most projects. If it really bothers you, you can color the line by running it over a Sharpie permanent marker.

I don't have a gas station or a grocery store for 44 miles. LMAO

Hi All,

I really, really appreciate all of the feedback. I like the hint about running the fireline over a permanent marker. I already bought the bicones because I saw a rope using them and thought it was gorgeous. I'll try to make this necklace and let you know how it comes out.

But there is a bead store near them (so I've been told...). And if you had kept the chickens, you would have had eggs, at least.... Kaytee "Simplexities" on

That's definitely not my cuppa tea but if it makes you happy - yippee! As for me, I live within eyesight of a mall, several restaurants, Borders, and the township police station. :-)

The cool thing is that it's actually quiet up here.

I'm blessed as well - I live about 300 yards from the center of town, but the location of my teeny little street means that no one knows we're here. The entrance to our street looks like the entrance to a church parking lot. We have no traffic and little noise, but we're literally one minute from whatever shopping we want to do. The train station is a short walk, and a huge shopping mall is about two miles away. Our street was laid out during the late 1800's, and is a dead end, with mature trees that arch over the road in summertime.

To boot, there is a huge "traffic calming" island (think the size of a city block, landscaped and beautiful) in front of the church at the entrance to our street, along with a misplaced "Do Not Enter" sign. Even if someone thought that it was a street, unless you know the secret, you wouldn't risk a ticket by turning onto the street.

Sadly, we have no bead shops that I can get to, but hey, there's always online shopping! (Yes, I know there are bead stores in downtown Boston, but I can't drive that far - yet)

I live two blocks form Chez Panisse, and the local bead store.
