A little better story and HELP Please

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE on my huge peyote project.

Crunch time big time.

I'M VERY HAPPY TO REPORT - I can say I have it done done done done done so to
speak. I have 3 border left to do inbetween and inbetrixed. We are leaving
tomorrow to the Hall where we are camping and celebrating which is 3 hours away
from where we live.

So hence the inbetween and inbetrixed.

QUESTION: Do you have any suggestions on how to attach it to a board or foam
board or something so it can be displayed upright instead of laying down.
Looking at it at a distance upright would be the ultimate goal.

HELP Please - gotta any quick idea of how to do that.

Its huge and looks wonderful - other than I made an error an inch from the
bottom - how in the heck I did that I have no idea - don't have time to fix that
at the moment - not sure how i'm going to remove about 30 to 40 beads - gotta
any ideas there to? this could be not a very fun job.

The pressure and all I'm so wound up with everything holy moly.

hope to hear from all of you wonderful beaders a.s.a.p. with a quick idea of how
to attach the pic to display upright.

HUBBY STILL DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS - so I accomplished as very big task in
secret - the hardest thing I have ever done. LOL!

sorry for rambling.

Kathy, if it is to be a temporary attachment..............get some of those big honkin' T-pins (wig pins, macrame pins........) and put them inbetween beads along the top rows............lots of pins will be needed to hold this monster project up.

Did I mention that we are all probably sooooo proud of you for tackling and sticking to it. And, yes, we will need pictures after the event, preferably one of you and hubby standing beside it. Donna

Kathy, 

Welcome to the next level of beading, . Where you are more sure of what you can accomplish.

When you are ready to fix your little error, just let me know and I will talk you through an easy way to fix it without removing more than the bead that is wrong.

So very proud of you. I remember that at the beginning, you had a few doubts, and now here you are finished and so very proud, as you should be. I am sure in the future you will be one of the many to help the next person that will take on such a huge task. Congratulations on huge accomplishment.

Happy Beading
