I'm trying out a long piece today...it's a full 24". I put a small metal bead in the back to stash the knot inside...why knot in the first place? I made this piece on Stretch Magic so that my daughter could wear it too.
This time it was easier gluing the knot inside the "cover bead." It's still something of a two-man job since, once you get the Hypo Cement going, it wants to keep going, and you have to jack the very fine wire-cap back into the applicator (with glue beading out and the piece you're working on in your hand). This time I just put a big drop of glue on the knot and then put it inside the bead, rather than trying to squeeze the glue into the bead-hole (which in theory would be possible, but as I say, the glue keeps on coming out, it is hardly worth it).
Well let's see how it goes. My 18" turquoise necklace wasn't long enough to wear with a turtleneck sweater, and I didn't feel like making a longer one of the same type. I do however have a turquoise-chip choker that I got a long time ago and never ended up wearing, so I have it in mind to cut it and use the chips for something else.
