I finally did it! I drilled some holes in the Paua Shells and listed them on Ebay!
I am going to tell the story in a later post. Right now... I need a nap. :)

tact and the larger, uncoloured area at the bottom gives the pendant a

Thank you so much... I was afraid I would mess them up. I use to dabble
in photography and quit, because I became to hard on myself and just couldn't
get my eye back. Maybe with this new venture I can go back to something I
loved so much.

the ad says:
"We are frequently asked for beads with larger holes. We've included
the most popular hole sizes in this catalogue.

[large blank space, for pictures]


then the prices.
All holes shown lifesize - no mix and match. These will actually work
just as well if you are trying to make your holes smaller.

Each hole will come filled with pure Vermont fresh air, air that
Howard Dean once breathed, sealed fresh in a clear ziplock bag.

it's meant to be a joke, but i'm wondering if it's going to backfire

okay. E-bay links tend to BE long and complicated and often wrap, and
cutting/pasting is a real pain, if you have to do it more than once.

How about:

I must not have put that right. A strange jumble of letters doesn't give me
a clue what I'm being directed to until I click on it. My download link is
slow, so I like to have a clue what I'm being directed to before I link to

harry, my suggestion...

if a piece does not say "drill me here" when you pick it up, *DON'T* force
yourself to drill it! Leave some for wirewrap/etc...if you try to make
yourself do it on every piece, it will become a struggle, then yoiu won't
enjoy it.

Not saying don't take the challenge to try to find the spot...but don't make
it a chore!!! Just let the pieces tell you!!!

If a bead doesn't speak to me, I set it aside. I have 2 beads that I have
had for 10 years, that I can't make yet. And the funny thing is, right now,
I can tell they weren't *that* great, but I think I spent about $5 each on
them at that time.

But conversely, if one starts to whisper "drill me", then do it. You might
be surprised!

well, that wasn't quite what i meant . . . and in most cases, your
shells will probably sell best with holes already drilled. but i
really should be learning to do some of this stuff for myself, because
i'm the one who has the design in mind. if you see what i mean.
