That makes sense :O

Hmm; there is a bead store downtown where a friend of the family works. Mayhap I should nose around there a while. Incidentally, I went with pony beads because I was worried about string strength and decided lanyard would be the best bet for keeping things from breaking/falling off; any chance you have any other/better string suggestions? That could really open up a huge number of bead shapes to me.

Thanks <3
