Well, I think 10mm is the smallest I should go for the waist strands. I seem bad at guessing how things will show up on camera and usually end up doing my details too small to show well so I really don’t want to use anything smaller than that. It’s annoying because the colored plastic ones I can get here only go up to 8mm, just one size smaller than that. -_-

Yeah, I definitely want to get it judged at some point since I’ve put a lot of work into it. Probably at Boston since I’ve decided against doing it at NYAF. And I’d like to take it onstage so larger pearls would be good in that case so that they’re more visible. ^_^;
