Love that last necklace man!

[PFlynn]

Thanks Boss,that is one of my favorite.The crazy part is I found that killer bead at a pharmacy of all places.Today I want to recycle the plant one step farther,I want to make a Beaner-Bracelet.I'm soaking some unwanted swag seeds.I'm going to string some thread through the seeds,like popcorn for the Christmas tree except different.Then I'm going to weave the hemp around the beads in a flat pattern.A Beaner-Bracelet!Will show pics when I do it.

oh my goodness. that will be amazing.

[PFlynn]

Holy crap,that was a major pain in the ass.Most of the seeds cracked when I put the needle through them,I'm glad I soaked them(thank you for the good idear)still my fingers are all bleeding,but I finnished the hard part.Now on to the hempy part.

[Boss]

Hey I hear you CAN make popcorn from them, just don't ask me how!

[PFlynn]

Utter failure.I keep smoking more to calm down and try again,but alls I'm doing is getting really baked.The middle was too light and flimsy to work with.I'll keep trying because it would be cool if it worked.

[Boss]

Dry a drimmel and small drill bit maybe?

[MsRedEye]

I'm liking that "red eye" necklace Keep up the fine work!

Peace

^More kind words from a kind friend,thanks its all the encouragement that keeps my fingers knotting striveing to do something better.

Here is the is the String of Beans,I attempted to weave the hemp around the seeds in a flat pattern but the string is way too flimsy to work with.A little bird gave me a great idea.So for now I can't do a thing with it but I figured I'd show how all my fingers are poked like a pin cushion,still all bloody today.But this project is not done.

I see Santa's helper has been busy in the workshop since my last visit. That string of beans is crazy! It is amazing what we can create when we allow our imaginations free.

[Boss]

Damn fine job Pflynn!

[PFlynn]

This was what was swimming around in my when I came up with the Beaner Bracelet,I wanted to do the same thing but with seeds.I also used to make smilies( the chain that hangs from the wallet to the pants)I bought the chains from Hot Topic for 25bucks and did the same thing as in the pic below but with the thickest diameter hemp.They sold like hotcakes.I will make the seed thing work if it kills me.I just have to figure it out.

[PFlynn]

This one I had quite on because I didn't think I had enough length of hemp.But a good friend liked it so I busted my butt and finished it with less than a inch to spare.Its sized to fit the friend and will be a Christmas present.

[PFlynn]

This is the next one I simply have to finnish,I've just been into making other stuff.Realistly it shouldn't take that long at all.I love this one and am damn proud of it.I as like how I doubled up the glass beads on the strands going to the main bead.





I know I already posted this one,but it really brings out the beauty of the main bead
