Kitty Chicky Cat says:LOL! YES!! They certainly do that don’t they!! When other people hear voices they worry but when we beaders hear voices we know it’s just all those little beads singing their siren’s son to us, courting us to buy them and bring them home!! LOL O no! Now your beautiful beads are starting to call to me too!! ahhhhhhhh!

Kitty Chicky Cat says:OOPS! son = song! lol

J Yee smart chick says:Hey kitty chicky, I’m ROTFLMAO as I read your response… yep, we’re NOT crazy… and how about when these lil’ sirens then begin to “talk to us” about what designs and other beads they should be put INTO…
, part of the creative design process…

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:OOOO! We must have similar tastes! Most of these are calling my name too!
Great choices Smart Chick!!
On Aug 05, 2009 at 4:47 pm #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:ooo! Yes! That is our creative genius! Our muse! You can’t go against what the beads want or the design will never turn out quite right (if it turns out at all!)! That is how some of the greatest masterpieces were made, by the artist listening to what their materials want to become and fulfilling their destiny for them! LOL!!

Mayan Chick - Lilly says:Love this pick! Those keishi drops are calling my name, too!

J Yee smart chick says:Kitty chicky, yes – our creative muse indeed – she’s pretty demanding at times eh??? and it takes some listening to really “hear” what the beads WANT us to do with them!!! trying out different bead combinations and color palettes, and sometimes “arguing” with the beads, and they argue right back “no no, we want some more of… OR less of… not quite… add this… or that…
thank you too, Mary and Lilly, ever since LB got those sweet lil’ keshi and biwa stick pearls, they’ve been calling my name too

Fashion Chick aka SC says:Smart Chick, how did you know that the Russian Green Rondelles call me by my first name? LOL I like a lot of these stones myself.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Fabulous pick, Joyce! These are wonderful beads to be calling to you and your weary wallet!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I thought everyone heard beads talking to them in their heads, on their bead boards, in their storage containers….. “Touch me” ~ “Hold me” ~ “Buy me” ~ “Play with me” ~ “Design with me” ~ “Organize me” ~ “Create with me” ~ “Buy me MORE friends to play with — I’m lonely” ~ ROTFLOL

J Yee smart chick says:Hey fashion chick, look – those sweet lil’ russian green rondelles are on sale today…
…
chicky LE, you sure have given voice to the “bead muse”, I’m ROTFLMAO at “MUST OBEY THE BEADS…” and your vivid descriptions of beads that “talk to us” saying “touch me…”, “design with me…”, “take me out of the container…”, your beads must be best friends w/ my beads…
On Aug 06, 2009 at 6:47 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Joyce, maybe our beads once lived together in the same warehouse!!! ROTFLOL
On Aug 06, 2009 at 6:48 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:We know that the ones we have purchased from LB once lived on the same shelves together!

Anita QoG Funny Chick says:OOHHHH, this is a CHOICE pick!!! (trying a new word) lol….. Does it work for you, Smart Chick? I think I can hear them too!!! Anita, Anita, did you hear that? I love this combination, it’s PERFECT!!!
On Aug 06, 2009 at 7:10 pm #
J Yee smart chick says:Chicky LE, your beads and mine are “sibling” beads…
Funny chick, my conversations with my beads are way amusing, the lil’ sweeties whisper to me… like chicky LE describes perfectly… WE are the BEADS WHO MUST BE OBEYED…
… pssst, ya know ya wanna TAKE us OUT of the box and MAKE SOMETHING with us, we’re too GORGEOUS to leave in the BOX…
On Aug 06, 2009 at 7:10 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I like your new word, Funny Chick!
On Aug 06, 2009 at 7:11 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Just as we are “Sister Chicks”, our beads are “sister beads”, right? LOL
On Aug 06, 2009 at 7:13 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:BTW, I always refer to my beads as “she/her”, whereas I have a fellow beader who always refers to her beads as “he/him”. Interesting!
On Aug 06, 2009 at 7:13 pm #
J Yee smart chick says:I agree, CHOICE is great… like those luscious russian green opal rondelles in the POD sale today…
yep, our beads are “sister beads” indeed… they may have been separated at one point BUT they sure behave like siblings!!!
