Lovely, lovely and (chiming in) I'd love to see photos of them on!
Raison, your post made me laugh. The worst is when you get all the beads or pearls just the way you want them-- and then you bump the board and they get out of order or even fall onto the floor! I sometimes think I'm nuts to be doing this for a hobby.
And doing this for a living? Noooooo, I'd be insane in no time at all!
