Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

This is true, and man, he should not be that cute.

Boys should not be allowed to have eyes and lashes like that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Plus his page is valid XHTML. How hot is that?

SIGH.

And here I go again with the dirty old woman feelings.

Can you imagine if the logs could read your state of mind too?

That would be disturbing, and if logs could read my state of mind, would put a serious crimp in my late-night browsing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! SoCal knitters and crocheters, have a look at Knit For The Cure -- they're asking for work done with some pink to be donated for resale, profits going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Plei, do you make jewelry? I have a bead-threading question.

If they could read the minds of the people visitng my sites...well, I wouldn't check.

Yeah. Not as much as I used to, but at one point, I had a several hundred dollar a year beading habit.

I wish I had the beading vocab for this question...but here goes...

I want to make a necklace that's multistrand for part of it (in front). I've IDed the transitional pieces (silver furled cones from Bali), and the beads for the multistrand part (dark wood), but am not sure about the transition to the single strand part. Now, I haven't decided what the single strand bit is going to be -- more wood round beads? Silver cylinders? Chain? Mostly I'm stuck on the mechanism of going from the multiple threads to...whatever. I figure either I run the multiple threads through large-bore beads and worry about it at the fastener, or tie them off after the narrow end of the silver cones. But I need doodads. There need to be doodads.

Which ones, and how?

What sort of thread are you using?

Also, do have a link to the transitional piece?

I haven't picked a thread yet -- I was just perusing beads in the store, trying to work out the best mechanism. Which isn't usually the way I go about it. The cone looks roughly like this, 3/4 to 1 inch long.

eta: Looks like bead tips or crimp beads -- but I've only ever used bead tips near the fastener, because I can't make them tidy enough for the front of the necklace. It's possible I'm missing something. Never used crimp beads -- is there a trick?
