An invisible string to thread my small crystal br beads, even Tiaan helping because I cannot br see to do it myself, it would take me a hundred br years at least to complete one string br br I wanted to make many strings to represent my br vision of auric light shining out, but after an epic br struggle I gave up and upended the beads in br crystal glasses to enjoy the pristine shine br br Without destroying my eyes, Tiaan commenting br ‘After suffering for many years to string beads, I br found the solution, dumping beads everywhere’ br and I laughed, Nici only shaking her head br br While busy with her bead-making craft - I also love br the effect of beads in sea-shells, resembling coarse br salt but with a new shine, no more threading for me br I cannot see, it felt too much like torture br br My new system brings us miniature rainbows with- br out the heartache of threading invisible strings br with translucent beads!br br Margaret Alicebr br
