I confess.....

....I did it. I threw beads away.

Yup. I was so pissed at these size 11 beads that I didn't even feel like taking them apart. I was working on a "frame" about 3x5 inches, about 1/2 inch thick and it just wasn't doing what I wanted it to. It kept warping out of square. Figures that it's for a project that was due yesterday and it's now overdue. I started "debeading" and decided, bump it - toss. Naturally, anyone who knows me, knows that I didn't say "bump" but a much worse word. Yes, keeping it clean for family viewing.

Do I feel bad for throwing away about 15 hours of work? Work I did while sitting on the patio during my Fridays off during the summer? Yes, I do. Damn.

Back to the drawing board. Late.

hhhmmmmm. was it right angle? cuz you know if it was it would have worked...unless it was and it still didn't work, but I find that unlikely, so sorry you had to give up, good luck with the succesor...

It was, Marcia - I forgot about the whole warp thing and it was just stwisting too much. (Yes, I know that I wrote "stwisting" but that's a good descriptive word)

I'll mail it to Kat and see what she can do with it

I can't believe you did that! I could never! I just abandon project, and put in UFO box.
