In early 2007, I happened to be in a huge sporting goods store with time to kill. I wandered into the section for fishing lures and accessories and was immediately drawn to small spools of neon nylon "laser lemon" thread. Not really knowing what I'd do with them, I purchased three and took them home. I had a vague idea that they might be useful with transparent beads, changing the base color to create something unique. So I experimented with crystal clear beads and was so pleased by the tiny first result that I made this embellished peyote bracelet. But Oh, what a nuisance the thread turned out to be in long lengths! It split and snarled. It had to be heavily conditioned and the ends woven thoroughly into the body of the bracelet. Knots didn't hold. I was pleased with the result, but not sure I want to go back there anytime soon with this type of thread. Completed 3/2007>>MPK
