Returning to the lowly beading thing: See this pretty bracelet? Isn't that a fun way to use those pretty undrilled pearls? Well, yes, except for the part where they squirt out from between the wires like little greased piglets whenever you give them a sideways glance. Know what would make this bracelet work better? Drill holes and a wire running the length of the bracelet.
I really do want to find something creative to do with the undrilled pearls. But apparently this something isn't it! Sigh - back to the drawing board...
