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?

Thread through, loop thread over connector hole (if you have a connector hole, else this doesn't work well), thread through again, smash crimp bead with wide-ish pliers until quite flat, trim thread end.

Okay, so if I find a guy who isn't creepy and is turned on by geeky girls, I'm supposed to send him to ita.

Because, yeah, that's exaaaactly what I'd do.

ita, if you find a Krav guy with great arms who doesn't mind fat girls, you just send him my way and then we can ride a flying pig into the sunset.

Is the connector hole part of what the tapered strand is going to attach to the rest of the piece with? Also, thanks!

Hey, isn't this the guy who's making your eyes glaze over? Isn't this a guy who's into girls into things you don't like? You really wouldn't pass him along?

Damn, girl. If I found an otherwise decent guy who bored me and didn't like me, I'd sure check and see if anyone else could use him.

I'm just saying that I've been ignoring an entire sea of men based on an interest I'm not interested in.

I mean, my hobby is writing, and I can't imagine anything more boring than watching someone else type, so I figure we'd be even.

Watching other people read comics is pretty boring too. But talking about them is fun. I have no problem with guys who don't care -- but it'd be nice to meet a guy who cares, yet doesn't border on fetishy let-me-steal-your-number-from-store-records behaviour.

Not that it's ever happened to me.

Yep!

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

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