My regularly scheduled bullshit it still techicly on hole till all of thr new stuff starts coming in but I did get some new needles (since I was down to my last and its sort of curved at this point) and some new 8lb line.
Last time I bought line, I bought it from an outdoors store in Oregon. But this time I bought it from Amazon.
And I discovered a strange thing.
Both are 125yd but the one from amazon that has "beadsmith" on it is much larger.
This feels like a waste of plastic...and I'm now worried that I may have paid more for a logo and extra plastic. May have to find a new local fishing store...
twitter loved this one so anyway here's one of my fave ship dynamics
As an update, I figure how do this lung without math!
I am going to make a mockup with the heavier thread I use with kumihimo.
And since I am now the pround owner of half a kilo of wisteria lined crystal, that's the color I'm uses. I used a grayish mauve and a bronze as a pattern so I can easily eye out 5, 10, 15, and twenty bead lengths.
I cal also take the raw materials and make turn then into necklaces with kumihimo
So the two hours of bead spinning was really for good use and my chose to drape instead of using math is compleatly normal
First I love being on my ADHD meds
Second, fuck the FDA and the state I live in fir making all ADHD drugs so hard to get. I do relize that they can be abused by nuritypicals ....but there has got to be a better solution then this.
Anyways on to better news.
My medicated ass.had an idea this moring....for the 7th,
I was always going to do a big drape lacy flowery daisy chain neckas for the 7th, but I just realized that instead of a simple.drape pattern I could use chain to make lungs
Here is my breif concept drawing....
The large rings in the drawing are the large hammered silver(plated) rings. The black lines forming the lungs will be out of the silver and green modified daisy chain.
The dotted lines will be out of fine silver chain. I'll have to purchase that
Here is the rough draft for the back and sides all out of silver chain. I don't think I will be able to get the efect of inflated lungs unless I create a secondary anchor chain around the back like a harness.
So now I need to plot out the mesuments for the lungs.....
These lovely pictures give me an approximate location and a size ratio I can measure on myself.
I may have to lie down on the floor and have my sister use a heavy cord to map put the shape....or better yet I could do that on her.
The other option is to use all those years of math to map out the archs I want on the images I found, to get actual measurements
Jeasus christ.....I just realized I'm trying to reinvent hanahaki
Oh well....I like it, it's going g to be so much work.
And not at all I my colors....
I'm so excited

Pictures of material for reference.
Instructions (sort of)
This necklass is made of two ply herringbone stitch. If you do not know how to do herringbone stich for beading. Then GTS because apparently I can't post outside links to tumblr. But it is very easy and thier are some very good tutorials out there
When you need to attach the rings add 7 more rows of beads. Then bend the work around finding ring and use herringbone stich to sew the work back onto itself in a loop.
For sizing
Figure out your desired length and double that for the total length.
Add the first ring then add the second ring a quarter of the length. Bead till the finished length then add the bar.
Here is a picture of the proportion of mine
If you have any questions please let me know I'm happy to clarify. I've never tied to make instructions before.
