Have gone back to doing the fish and have these tiny ones that will go on a Christmas tree. I think the ones with stripes will do better than ones with patterns, but it may be that I will get tired of the stripes and switch before I am done. I still need more beads in 15s but these fish go so slowly (about one a day) that I will really need the beads in the order by the time it arrives.

In reading Making Jewelry I found out "rocailles" - the name for size 15 beads - is pronounced "rock i." Pardon my French! Need to learn to run that through my nose.

Am thinking of Sue and Bobbie who are off in the Bay Area today teaching how to embellish fish lure!

And remember to feed the fish above this by pointing your cursor in the pond and giving it a click.
