I do have a drill... I was wondering if that was the method. Thanks for confirming... now, I have to practice knotting inside a tube.

A customer sent me this clasp and asked me to make a necklace using her "mystery clasp". What do I do with it????? I have never seen anything like it before. TIA!!!!

There is a local butcher in Naples that sells Kobe. I'm a regular, lol. I love the Kobe dogs, but my favorite is the grade 7 strip. Fabulous!!!!!!!

I love the pondslime! Very unique and different, and very much a less-formal pearl (think: perfect with sweatpants).

I actually don't know if they are bead nuked or not... I be sure to ask next time I am in the shop!

I thought these were interesting enough to share... 13-15mm pondslime with great coloring and nice luster. I found them at a local bead shop last week and I may go back for more. He has 3 more strands of round/semi round and 3 strands of drop.

I'll be there the 4th to the 8th

Thanks for the education Jeremy, and for explaining the "O". How do you determine luster if you can't see an "O"? Or, would the light reflection be described as a large O? Case in point:

I haven't bothered to look at Twitter. Scares me a little bit, lol.

I would love a strand and matching earrings in a larger size. Yum!

Caitlin, I think proper dry time and wax helps seal the sharpie color into the powerpro. I also run the thread 5-6 times through a paper towel or cheesecloth to take off any extra color. Repeat color and wiping if you want deeper hue. I have never had a problem with color bleeding or fading...

Different color Sharpie pens. You can color the Power pro and create your own custom thread! (Run the pen along the powerpro 2-3 times then wipe by running thread through paper towel several times. Let dry for a few hours and wax before knotting).

I have had good luck with Pearllunar, but I agree that the pearls are always smaller than listed. She does take clear photos, so pay attention to the photos and the description. I will have to try rainbowislandpearls. I haven't used her yet. I have also been satisfied with my strands from...

Fabulous! I love the color/size combo.

I bought some rosebud pearls from this vendor and they arrived the other day. I won't have time tomorrow for photos, but will try to post some on Wednesday. I also ordered some FW black strands which have yet to arrive. Shipping costs are high, but strand costs are low. It all evens out in...

The Tahitians are already growing on me and I think they will quickly become a favorite.

......Another of the Tahitians:

I have 3 dark strands in my collection. The flameballs are from the TPO sale, the black FW are from ebay and the Tahitian just arrived an hour ago from the PP sale. I reach for the flameballs quite a bit...they seem to compliment my coloring and provide a casual look. At some point, I am...

Me too. The longer I participate here, the more I am open to non round, non white pearls. I love it!!!! I am awaiting my first strand of Tahitians from PP tomorrow. I believe it is also something Jeremy has hand selected, because the strand was stashed in his desk :) I'll be stalking the...

I love this necklace. It is truly gorgeous. Congrats on such a stunning piece!!!
