[Gigi]

Thanks Suzan, but I have to pass this time. I just have too many other commitments. But I am so enjoying seeing all of your creations and I hope to try it one of these days!

Oh no! Paper beads have gone viral.

So far you need to send 3 for each person. See if I can explain properly. 3 matching for each person. 2 for the swap, Then we are going to send a 3rd one attached to a card with the swap information. Your name, the swap name and the date I will pm everyone tomorrow with all the details.

And actually you are way farther than I am and you have a least 2 weeks til you have to send them out. Thanks for joining. I love this.

I think I convinced my daughter to "share" hers. If that is okay? I will help her to try and get them more "matching" cuz she likes to do them all different.

[LisaH]

sure that is okay (at least with me), and different is GREAT!!

[Suzan]

No objections here, We will have enough matching from everyone, it is just cool she will do it with us. So I will put her in.

[kate3]

I am not telling crafty niece. Hers would probably look better than mine.
I am picking up a tool tomorrow to help my hands. Just a $4.00 one until I can make my own. I was going to make one tomorrow but then remembered it is card class. Not sure why I go because I make bad cards but it gets me out of the house. I think they keep me to make the table look full.

[LisaH]

I have found out I like rolling the beads...just not so sure I like coating the things!

I like rolling them but my hands refused to do more than one using a toothpick. I need something a little thicker to hang onto. Also something that will hold the beginning of the paper. Now I remember why I stopped knitting and crocheting.

I guess I need to post on the Troubleshooting site, but I am almost finished with mine. Once you get the hang of it, it goes really fast. Will post on the other to say what I am doing. LOl

Big tease.

Kate, I was going to suggest a knitting needle, but it sound like that won't work for you. I am using an aluminum sock needle, and it is working pretty well for me. It acutally hurts less than knitting! The lack of a "paper holder" does mean that I sometimes have to re-roll them, but more often I am rerolling because I don't get them straight.

Trisha, I'm so excited that your daughter is joining us! I'm sure her beads are amazing just the way they are. No need to match them on my account, as I plan on combining lots of different ones in a single project.

Yay, Rachell is going to play!!!

[Suzan]

This is a great group for a swap. I have been very fortunate to be in a second wonderful swap. We all you lovely people.

[kim]

I made 31 beads and look at the first page to see there are now 11 people signed up. Okay, now to make two more beads. I have it already cut out, now just to roll them and coat them.

[Suzan]

Yes they came in last night, sorry, I am closing it right now. And will pm everyone information today or tonite.

[Suzan]
