Hello Everyone!

I would love to make the necklace shown on pgs. 12-14 in the special B&B issue entitled "Beading Basics: Color" dated January 2006.  (I realize that I am 2 years too late!!!)  Due to the passing of those 2 years, perhaps my eyesight has deteriorated to such a degree that I cannot properly count the 5mm siam bicones! 

The material list for the necklace states purchasing 5 of the siam bicones; however, I count 16 total siam bicones.  I see three 5mm siam bicones on the upper strand of the necklace, then three 5mm siam bicones on the second strand and six 5mm siam bicones for the longest strand.  Then there are two 5mm siam bicones near the cascading clasp.

Please let me know what the correct count of these 5mm siam bicones should be before I order any supplies!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Monica 

 O.K.!!  Besides deteriorating eyesight, I also forgot how to count...let me try again:  3-upper strand + 3 on the 2nd strand and 6 on the longest strand + 3 on the cascading clasp = 15 total siam bicones for the necklace.

However, as stated, the material list states to buy 5 siam bicones (for the necklace)-is this just a misprint or am I missing something? 

Thank you so much!!!

Dear Lesley Weiss,

I just read about you in the latest issue of B&B.  While I was recounting the # of bicones, you were answering my post-so THANK YOU for a very prompt response!!  Fifteen siam bicones is also what I came up with-so that's how many I'll order!

Thanks again!
