Original Message:   And I might be in over my head!
Rats, lost my first post....

So far I've found BonBeads.com (but the prices are retail, comparable to Beads and Babble below....

And Beads and Babble, an Etsy shop with the biggest selection: https://www.etsy.com/shop/beadsandbabble/

And the California Assn. of Porcelain Artists http://www.capachina.com/Pages/default.aspx

And a website of porcelain painting supplies, including a set of pigments similar to mine: http://www.thegoodstuff.com/wm100.html

And of course, the Rosary Workshop site you mentioned.

No instructions yet, though.

And I'm sure the oxidizing of silver will be beyond my humble abilities/capabilities (although I can sinter/burn/overcook silver with the best of 'em!) :^D

I'm thinking if Miyiki passed on doing it themselves, who am I to mess with this?? Although, what the heck, I could at least do the experiment.

Perry Bookstein, formerly of York Beads, said that he'll have aged Picasso beads available at Beadsmith.com (his new employer) in a few weeks. I'll report back when they're up, if anyone else is interested, and if they're more affordable than the other sites mentioned.

And maybe I'll have learned, from my monumental studio move, that I don't need a bajillion beads to make a jillion necklaces.....That maybe just a few will do.

(wait for it.......)

Bwah hah hah hah hah haaaaah!
