Sueki, your rope is absolutely breathtaking! I am in awe...

Pattye, any chance that you will be buying some extra "goodies" for your Etsy site? I guarantee I would be happy to make some purchases of the strands you would choose not to design with for yourself...

I so need to get back to the Islands! Cathy, those photos are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing! And I miss the fresh markets and veggies on Maui...

Thanks for the "Pearl 101" lesson Jeremy! I do appreciate it...

Hi everyone! Not to threadjack but I have a question... If pearls are irradiated, is the color permanent? I ask as I have an irradiated blue diamond and my jeweler has told me that irradiation stones will "fade" as time goes on. They don't lose their color altogether but the saturation does...

These are beautiful Amrita. I agree that they have a quiet elegance to them...

Ivona, what a lovely rope! Wear it proudly...

Wendy, these are absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad Pattye talked you into posting them.

Kat,those are gorgeous bracelets! How lovely! Softnsunny, thank you for giving this newbie some very helpful hints and experience with elastic bracelets. I've been afraid of trying / wearing them but I am going to string some up and wear them to get more familiar with what works and the...

Sheryl, your rope is stunning! What a wonderful keepsake you will have to remind you of your first year on the forum if you decide to keep it for yourself. From a newbie perspective, I would like to thank you for your year of contributions. Not only does it enrich the forum as a whole but I...

This is my fear in buying right now. I have only purchased from 2 eBay sellers I've heard about on here and only for little dollar amounts as I continue my "practice" in knotting and design. I don't spend more right now than I would on dinner and a movie (haha - yes, that is kind of my...

Pattye, your work is beautiful as always! I love the colors and the use of the bronze rondels you made! I need to google PMC and learn more about it...

Hands down I would choose Sarah's in a heartbeat over Mikimoto's!

Inge, thank you for the kind words. Actually my fingers were not too bad... I have spent years fishing with my family and am rather used to tying knots with fishing line. Thanks Cathy! I did not look at it as brave but maybe foolish? Actually, I wanted the practice to try to get as good at...

Thanks MsT! I really enjoyed the challenge!

You are all very kind! And helpful as I have learned so much from this forum and all of your contributions... Mary, I am trying to decide what will come next. I have some beautiful keishi from Pattye so I think I need to work with those next now that I feel more comfortable with my knotting...

I need to respectfully disagree with Caitlin on her strand being qualified for the lowly beaders club! Because my "entry" takes that prize all by itself! I have just been beading for about a month but I love it and will continue to learn and grow from everyone on this board. But all of that...

Pattye, I'm glad to hear you like it! I was planning on ordering one for the hubby for his framing supplies but maybe I need to order 2!

Caitlin, your rope is beautiful! I love the variety of the pearls and how they work so wonderfully together! I'm starting to knot a rope for "practice" that I will post as soon as I finish it but it will seem very bland when compared to the gorgeous ropes that have been posted so far. Oh...

Thanks Inge! I suspected that might be the answer but I'm trying to learn the lesson to stop "assuming"! I do appreciate everyone on this forum being so willing to share and spread their vast knowledge on nature's glorious works of art!
