thanateI've been thinking about doing this for a while, and there was this head sitting there looking all blank and mournful...
Interesting, but I think I need a head with bigger eyes, and possibly smaller beads.
(The smaller ones, sold as size 15, are as small as are commercially available. There are theoretically 18s and 20s from antique collections, although the size is supposedly how many beads fit in an inch, and the modern ones are significantly smaller than sized, thus the antique ones may not be genuinely smaller. Donna also speaks of the mythical "sand" beads, which are so small you have to take the needle off your thread anytime you want to put another bead on it. Last time I checked, the internet was not aware of sand beads that were actually pierced; it only had glue-ons (which aren't technically beads anyway) and large beads made of sand.)
