Big Beads

[t***@yahoo.com]

What do you do when you get a bead that's humongous? Let's see.
Maybe use it as a pendant on a long necklace so you can use it as a
weapon in an emergency. Use it as a fan pull as long as it's not a
head-klunking level. Hey, use it as a purse charm for a carriage bag
(one of those huge purses). I wonder if I have enough that I could
have un-matching drawer-pulls. I should check out what bolts might
work.

Most of the ones I've gotten have never been used.

What about the rest of you?

What do you do when you get a bead that's humongous?  Let's see.
Maybe use it as a pendant on a long necklace so you can use it as a

Tina, how big is humongous? and how heavy (which is likely to make
a difference to me because I also use hollow kukui nuts which are
big but very light weight.), and what material? Shape?


I hope it isn't as big as a pumpkin, because I wouldn't now what to do
with a bead that size either.

It's the glass ones I have the biggest problem with, partly because of
the weight. But even lighter things are something of a problem for
me. I don't like long necklaces, so I'm not inclined to make them.
They take a lot more thought for me and I just don't attain that
comfort level.

I prefer to keep to under 15 or 20mm. I really need to broaden my
horizons.

My LBS is now selling pins for large and large-hole beads. They're like
heavy-duty headpins and eyepins. Of course, now I'm wondering what I
did with the ones I bought a few weeks ago.

Cheers,
Carla

You know, I have a couple changeable pendants, but I've never used
them. I like having the other goodies on my necklace, and I don't
want to have to think about changing things when I want a necklace to
match.

I end up giving them away. :P Seriously, I just did that to a big bead
of mine (artisan). It sat for years and I couldn't figure out what to do
with it, so I ended up finding it a new home. And I've been told it may
be turned into part of some home decor.

That might be what I do with these too. But these beads are my
friends, and I hate to give up on them!

Those biggun's can probably be used as fan/lamp pulls nicely. They would
probably hold up really well.
