haha, I think we have all been there!!! Also It should be .999 'fine silver' If you plan on using wire, mesh, or flat strip silver.

I think sometimes we are so caught up in what we are trying to achieve, we are blown away when someone else sees the potential of a bead that we can't because we had something different in mind entirely.

LOL, Wendy, I need to take a picture.
It really does look like it was on fire ... which it was. A little frightening. It smells kinda bad too. It's a really ugly, abused little bead. And I am keeping it ... it's so odd.

or make a white, and 'toasted' bead to go with it, and make a necklace called beads in the life of a marshmallow..
