You boys go talk among yourselves.

Mrs T: Now for the third time I have restrung this ankle chain. I am trying out diffeent "strings". I used nylon wrapped elastic out of Mom's sewing kit. It broke in record time. I bought fine wire just before we went to Washington this last time. It lasted okay. The first one broke and the second one unwound a tad and had a sharp point poking me in the ankle continuously. This time I am trying "beeswax": its actually waxed cord that I bought in a leather craft shop. Its sticky, icky in this heat but hopefully it will work. I had fun melting the ends without burning my fingers. So we will see... so far my best success has been a thin piece of ribbon. Ribbon is surprisingly strong.

Beads! OH MY SWEET FREAKIN HECK! That store in Pike's Market was strictly AMATEUR baby compared to our craft store here in town! I went in to buy to tiny clasps at 35 cents a piece.. came out 7 dollars poorer and several bags of glass beads richer. Just go and buy a couple colors and sizes, grab bag types are fun that way and fairly cheap, then pour them into a bowl and start picking out the ones you like best. Arrange and rearrange them and before you know it you've got it! YAY!

Make sure you get a pair of good needle nose pliers ( mine are misplaced) and I have found a pair of very pointy tipped tweezers to be invaluable as well.
