I laughed out loud at the mention of Carl posting a whole strand of super gorgeous beads... my desk area at work has had many of Carl's photos gracing it - it's eye candy and it makes me smile. Right now I have a photo of a strand of beads that Matt was selling. I attempted to buy it, then stopped short when I realized I couldn't manage the finances. The longing is sometimes part of the thrill, eh?

Words are easily misunderstood. I think the question may also have been about the type of beads, as well.

The beauty of this forum is that we come together about the beads, and we struggle to communicate - but we usually succeed!!
