[Nfb-krafters-korner] Basic bead stringing cass announcement

[tribble]

ok, but what I'm asking is where the 2 strands of seed beads are 
positioned -- I mean, when I am wearing the necklace -- say I make it the 
length of a choker -- does it look like a row of seed beads on the top under 
my chin, and below that a row of focal beads and under that the bottom row 
of seed beads? Or alternatively, does it look like a strand of focal beads 
separated by a couple of rows of seed beads between each pair of focals?
Do the focal beads have just one shaft for the thread?

Sorry but I'm just trying to get the right picture...
Thanks.

Oh, and that is a great website -- I think picking out what I want will take 
longer than making the necklace...

The two strands of seed beads will be on both sides of the focals which will
go around the entire necklace. So, you'll have a focal followed by two
strands of seeds and then another focal bead. Hope this helps.
