This is as far as I've got so far. Most of the time was taken up with stringing the loom - that's one fiddly job! Then I discovered that the nylon filament was too thick to go through the beads multiple times as required. But once those two issues were sorted out, things started to progress with satisfying speed. This is going to be a simple beaded strip to decorate one of Chris's books. Once I've finished this, and figured out how to weave in the loose thread ends so the whole thing doesn't immediately unravel, I think I might try my hand at off-loom weaving.

Attractive can only provide the fine sights for others, actually not necessarily trades happily. Lets the man stop beautifully, the wisdom lets the man stay behind. the life most splendid realizes the dream instantance, but insisted vainly hoped for process.
