My post here, is a bit of an experiment. I’m thinking that with older posts like this, it might require several new comments to get posted before they they show up in the side bar widget… maybe some sort of popularity calculation that happens. So with your post Sherry, Cindy’s and now mine… let’s see what happens.

If anyone else is following along here, could you also post a quick comment to add to this thread as an additional test. It sure would nice to figure out this little mystery :-)

When members like you, share your ideas like this, everyone benefits. New ideas are born… confidence is built in those that are not sure if they can do it too… and people get inspired to try out ideas of their own. What could be better than that?

BTW, you may have noticed Doug popped in and added the links for you. Thank you Doug! This will make it easy for people to check out Sherry’s stunning necklace!

This was made for a really sweet lady at our local dr’s office– she wanted something in red and black the rest was up to me. It took about a week to focus in on a technique and then another week to make the beads and get it all strung up. BTW the latest vid showing how to use bead cones really took the fear out of making this a two stand necklace.

Thank you Cindy for all you do -sherry

There are some gorgeous examples of this technique in the Bead Giveaway Contest, that I’d love mine to look like, but I’ll be happy if I can just get a decent crackle my first time out. Then I’ll try to make some beautiful beads like the other members have made. I might even try the gold/copper colors that Cheryl H. used in her Deep Crackle Raku beads (they turned out so pretty!) Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work creating these videos for us, Cindy! It’s just so much fun learning all of these cool things!
