Method #214: Caramel and cotton.
I am so not allowed to read random web pages after dawn. Making caramel is fun, though.
Also, where the &$%^$ did the big blue sparkly stone go? It was right there, and I picked out some findings, and now I can't find it. Gah! It does not look like anything else in my bead collection, and I think I've looked under every object within a couple of yards of where it was that's big enough for it to hide under and not turned it up. I hope I did something clever with it rather than, say, dropping it in the trash can that's full of packing tape.
