>>I have been using Beadsmith #12s for my encusted bead working and it works
>> very well but it is hard to get the 10 # Fireline through the eye of the
>> needle.  I was hoping someone else might be doing something different and
>> having more success with something else. I will attach a photo of my 
>> latest
>> talisman for those who can see a photo via enlargement. It is called
>> _Serpentine Pathways_ and that is becaue the idea for this talisman came
>> from the three beautiful pieces of black serpentine cabochons that I had
>> bought at a gem show a few years ago.  For this talisman, I used 
>> Serpentine,
>> and Tree Agates. I combines them with Swarovski Crystals in clear and 
>> Pale
>> Green Opal. I also used Green Opal Gem stones, 4 mm rounds and Japanese 
>> Seed
>> Beads in Black and Emerald Green.  I worked on this one about 8 hours a 
>> day,
>> for several weeks - these take a very long time to do as they are very 
>> thick
>> layers of beadwork.  The back of the pendant is also finished 
>> beautifully,
>> and features Deep Green Ultra Suede encircled by black Japanese 
>> Beadworking.
