All you you are going to get me into trouble. I have some thinkin' to do.

Bad Casey! Bad! :p (must save money)

Hi Skypearl. I have enjoyed reading your posts and not to mention that lovely necklace. I will enjoy seeing more.

Didn't want to start a thread but this way I am at least telling somone. I bought one of the December PP Beader special this week and am so excited to get it.

I love your fur kids. I have three of my own and they look like they may just be as spoiled as your.

I am in your boat. Done a little too much pearl buying lately. And this was the color I was looking for too. Those lucky ones please take pictures when you get them so I can drool and be envious.

What a beautiful necklace. I am in awe.

Wow! Look at that reflection. Isn't it funny how you want to take pictures of your pearls. And you want to share your excitement for them with others. And just look and then and hold them. (am I showing my illness? :p) I am so glad we have a place to share our love(s). Wonderful pearls...

This thread is amazing. Everyone has such beautiful and original designs. I can only hope to produce something half as nice at some point. Thank you for sharing and opening my eyes to different possibilities.

Thank you all. Thank you all. I stepped away took all you said and here is the result. I went with beads because I didn't want to begin reaming on these beads and I also needed a little length. There is a little room for growth. The finishing beads are a little loose but you only know that...

Ok, that is the most useful information I have gotten on thread sizes. Thank you. It answers many other questions I have had and not asked. :rolleyes:

My goodness that is beautiful

Thank you for making me feel much more comfortable about my ability. And what size powerpro equates to E silk thread? (ok, now you are leading me back to a bead store))

Caitlin - Ok, this looks doable and I may have the stuff to accomplish it without going to a bead shop. (This is good because yesterday I went there for 4 beads that some how cost me $35.) I am scared to use a reamer because I am a clutz, do you use one at all?

Aha, I think you hit one of my problems on the head! It also looks like I need to get new needles. Now just an opinion question. I was trying to avoid reaming the pearls in fear of damaging them. But since I am doing a strand would it be better to risk it or would you use the SS beads...

Boo. Thank you sooooo much for answering. I do have a question where I may just not be using the right tool. I am using a twisted wire bead threader with a collapsable eye. Based upon your method I would have to cut the thread to tie the knot. Is this true? If so, what type of needle are...

Ok, after spending all day yesterday tying a 17" necklace three times I am turning to all of you for help. I can't seem to get the necklace to stay tied. Here are the specs: - Using 2 strands together of Gudebrod size E thread - Pearls are FW Keishi 5-8mm X 10-12mm - Gimp and 2 SS 4mm beads...

Bernadette - Good job. They look wonderful. I wonder if I would have the patience..

Oh my that is beautiful. Good thing I won't be near a computer tomorrow... ;)
