As a fairly new creator of ‘art beads’ – I am excited by your blog and the exposure and information you put out every week on the goings on in the bead scene!

January 30, 2008 at 2:33 amA question — everybody else probably knows the answer to this, but me…
I have some seeds that I want to turn into beads. The problem – they are incredibly tough and cannot be pierced with a needle and a hammer. How do I drill holes into them? When I have asked at local bead shops, I have gotten blank stares. I know this is possible — please help!
Thanks!
