"Hi there! On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Candace Copeland. I'm in the process here of stringing up a piece that I have been saving I have to tell you for myself for quite some time. I'm just going to kind of get a little bit of long here so you can get the idea of what it is when I start to put something together so that it doesn't have everything that looks symmetrical. It's really fun. There is no right or wrong. When you're trying to do everything exact, then that becomes a little different. I just had it then I lost it. What I want to do though is I want to be able to show you what I do when it's time to finish one off. I'll just put a couple of other little beads on this one so you can get a little bit more of a feel of what I'm trying to do here. Okay, I'll take this away and kind of see what's starting to happen there against the light. It's going to be gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous."
