    Chitra..

    I am a bit familiar with the railway station area there :). Usually we halt at Arulakam lodge at night..for our early morning flights.
    Thanx a bunch for wanting to gift it to me :biggrin2:. I am now happy that there is a chance for me to meet you during my next trip home :-D. Most probably I will be making a short trip by Dec end this year.

    Checked the link...I am impressed ya. As I said, you seem to have huge amount of patience and interest. Great :thumbsup

    Bye

    Yeah the pic of star shaped one is slightly hazy. But I love the color combination :thumbsup
    And the brown one too is very nice. You have inspired me to now try out those ear drops, which I have never done.

    Thanx and Bye

    Hi chitra...
    I logged in just now..and what a treat :hiya. Love the way you diligently try them. Do you have a company who shares the interest with you near you.

    By the way..what type of beading is the Square entangled ones...the one you made yesterday and today.........I ask because, I think its the similar one with which most of my articles with beads are.

    I plan to do chair or table with it. Easy ones they are

    Bye

    Hi Saraswathi
    Thank you. Thank You.
    Nobody except my DH is near me. Before my DD used to give company & she used to experiment with lot of things. These beads are her collection only. She used to make bead work on pictures. Now she is studying in B'lore. So no company.....
    Yes :exactly:you are right the usual beading technique only.... which you have used in your articles....I made one side of a square(as you've mentioned one leg of a table) & at the end of a side beads are added to the left & finished the 2nd side(everytime turning 90 degree to proceed next side.....)
    I did 2nd square seperately & entangled it with first one just before finishing the 2nd one.....
    I got this idea seeing chains carved out of stone in a temple.....
    Next I've to try circular one!!....
    HAPPY BEADING.
    Regards.
    Expecting Your Table-Chair Set.:coffee

    Chithra dear,

    I need a help. Can you suggest what I can do with this beads. I have only about 250 to 300 of them I think. Have to recount.

    I had actually bought it sometimes back to make a handbag with it. But later used some of it for my windchime.

    I do not want a purse..have done a lot of it. And no..not jewellery too. Let me know, anything else you can think of. I love the look of this pearly ones.

    Bye

    Hi Sarawathy
    Squre pendant can be done. in my view it 'll look elegant. But u said u do not want to make jewellery.
    Malathi's idea is also good.
    What about making a flower using french beading tech. ....
    I've given link to kimberly..... in my 1st post in this thread.
    Or
    Make this bead as centre & make flowers with bright kundan stones. I remember seeing chitti67 or ashukrishna's thread on it...
    Just think it over.
    If I come across anyother idea, i'll post it.....
    okayaaaaa?!!!!
