Quick Project Steps

Start with creating a base for the cabochon using RounDuo Mini Beads and 11/0 seed beads. Form an initial circle and secure the beads, ensuring a tight and even structure. Employ right angle weave techniques in the center, coming out of the RounDuo Mini. Continue the weaving process, methodically adding beads to the structure for design enhancement. Develop the ring's design further, focusing on the aesthetic and fit. Apply the final touches, making sure the ring has a polished and refined appearance.

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.
