Artenystea- Many thanks for the compliments

I have a lot of fun making these, and it's a wonderful artistic outlet.
Keenkitty- Buddha arrived today! He's such a handsome guy

I'll have your sticks up by the end of the weekend.
MountainGypsy- That green look great with the henna red. Holy crap is your hair getting long.

Made you buy that stick...
hrimfaxi- I think pulling off beaded sticks has to do with the overall shape, if that makes sense. I never cared for a few beads stuck to the top of the stick, there needs to be somesort of transition from the stick to the topper. /hopes she doesn't sound like she's in need of a beret
darkwaves- Thank you for posting your pic here as well!
