November 26, 2013 at 10:38 pmBeautifully brilliant – thank you so very much for the tutorial – I must have a go – I haven't got out my jewellery making things for far too long and I have so many tempting Humblebeads to use. I have tended to keep there like 'treasures' to take out of their tissue paper, touch, stroke, and admire, then tuck them away again safe in the knowledge that I have my little stash of precious beads.
