This project was originally introduced in the Orange issue of "From Polymer to Art" magazine.  Tutorials are available from Shades of Clay and Kazuri West. __________________________________________ Click here to view my Free Online Tutorial:                         "String Beads"    I feature all my latest projects on Facebook & Flickr.  Please take a look!
