ellarienWell, some cleaning happened. And the necklace is finished.
The mini pliers, chain-nose and round-nose, are very handy, as is the crimp tool. It would be even better if the mini tools didn't all have the same color handles.
The finger-ring jump ring tool didn't work for me; much better to grip with the big chain-nose pliers and twist with the little ones; and it seems to be easier for me to thread a beading needle by sticking the thread in the eye than messing about with a wire threader. (I haven't yet done any serious bead-stringing with a needle, but once I get into the seed beads I'll have to.) It may be just that size D Nymo thread is too big for an English needle.
Shell pendants and shell cubes.
