Searching for Myself
Ok, so Kate wants to make a sort of memory bead necklace--::cough cough:: remember that everyone???--and I'm looking for a bead to somehow remind her of me. So I'm thinking of something that perhaps is somehow reminiscent of the stars or or space-maybe something deep blue or even black--but that's as far as I've gone towards what I might want to get. So, what sort of bead would any of you out there think would be most like "me"? Any ideas?
Or does anyone have an idea for a bead they think would represent themselves (look, a place for the audience to join in and add their own thoughts!!!)
And P.S.--the verdict on the telescope is that, since Home Shopping Network doesn't have any more, I'm going to ship the mount off to the Meade Instruments Corporation who will activate the clutch and reinstall the drives so that it works properly. This will probably take around 3 weeks, but this way I know it'll get done right...
...and I won't have to worry about having a huge HSN credit that I will NEVER spend!!!

Just a couple of terms that might help you if you're Googling for beads: Lampwork beads are the glass beads made by torch -- usually the best place to find unusual colors or shapes that you might not find in a natural stone; dichroic is a metallic foil "rainbow" layer that will be used in a lot of colorful beads; frit is essentially crushed glass, which you might find covering beads that look like stars.
As for semi-precious stones, sodalite wins hands down. It ranges from mid to deep blue with white flecks and bands. Some of it is going to be way too light-colored for your taste. But I've worked with sodalite extensively (mostly in the denim blue colors), and when I see a specimen like this, I think there's something very "night sky" about it. Run a search on Google Images and you'll see what I mean. :)

HEEEEY! Since you haven't posted anything new, I just wanted to let you know I'm sending prayers and happy-good-luckiness your way. (Woo! I made up a word!)
I know you'll go in there and knock their socks off. Be strong, be invincible, be a woooomaaaan (/me gets carried away singing).
Then call me and let me know how it went. ::hugs::
You haven't been updating, so...hi! Hope all is going well.
