Zenkitty, it would be a pain to redo - you'd have to snip all the individual wires to free the beads. Then, when restringing, you might have to put small spacer beads between the ones to retain the look. If you didn't, it would probably end up being a good deal shorter.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

WS, I'm glad you made it home safely.
Our landlord called back this morning, and I'm glad I called him last night because he said (without my asking again) that he would let us out of our lease early if we need to leave. This is a huge relief because our lease goes until May, and I was worried what we would do if we found a house we loved before then.

Zen, are you looking to restring it? I like how it looks on the wire and would leave it the way it is. As ita ! noted, if it breaks, you are likely to only need to redo the one or two sections that need fixing. Plus it's so cheap! I would buy it if I were you.

If you do restring that, Zen, you could do knots between the beads to minimize the loss if the string does break. When I string beads, I use 20-pound test fishing line.

erika, the Biscuit had extensive dental work done recently, several teeth pulled, and he came through it fine and was much happier when it was done. Wishing your doggie good dental health.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just got another necklace I bought that's strung on wire the same way. It's not as annoying as I feared it would be. So yeah... I bought it.
Okay, Self, that's enough with the frivolous spending for this year.

For heavy beads tigertail works well - it holds up to the weight, is less likely to be rubbed through by rough edges. It also gets kinky ... but not in a good way.

I am having a bad week. Pete has the flu, I'm feeling extra-worn-down from my collection of medical things, I'm in the middle of PMS, writing is not going well, and the job hunt has been particularly awful. I would like to cry, take a nap, and have someone bring me tasty food, cupcakes, and booze.
