    Quick Project Steps

    Start the bezel: Begin with a peyote stitch using 8/0 Delica beads to create a loop. Add structure: Incorporate RounDuo and EVA beads for additional stability and aesthetic. Enhance design: Use alternating rows of 11/0 and 15/0 beads to fill gaps and add depth. Secure the structure: Continue adding layers of beads, securing them tightly to ensure the design holds its shape. Final touches: Add decorative elements like additional color or beads for aesthetic purposes. Finish the piece: Secure all threads and add backing if desired for use as a brooch or pendant.

    Spent an extra two hours shopping as things would not be added from other tabs into shopping cart, and even added to "one" cart, wouldn't always hold in the cart. Had to keep checking to see if I had all the things I was looking at.

    I have a hard time trying to log-in to my account. I have to check forgot my password, get an email and voila, I'm signed in. This gets annoying if I have to do this each time come to your store.
