These are really awesome! I'd love to see more of your work with beads.

Thanks! Oh also, here is my baby. I'm dating myself here but it's been with me for 22 years, and YES it still works

No reason it shouldn't! All of mine still work, and I still play them all too!

Wish the one my husband had still worked. Many a day early in our relationship where I'd sit with a pen and graph paper mapping out Swords and Serpent levels and code words.

I still play all of mine too. However, I have a redundant copy of Shadowgate. Probably bought it without realizing I had one already.
Mei- I have a hand-drawn map of level 9 from the first LoZ that's color-coded with all the warps. Severely tattered, I need to redo it lol

Pffft. Well there's a kick in the face to my seed bead work! I had a lengthy and nearly fruitless foray into the world of beadwork and looms. I'm glad and impressed to see how much better success you've had! I got two thirds of a bookmark of Mario in goomba's shoe done before my first thread ran out, and I didn't know what to do at that point! I was so tired of searching obscure and unhelpful articles online, watching little girls' video about their jewelry, not finding supplies and seeing my bookmark coming out vertically skewed that i just gave up and haven't touched it in a year.

Long story, simple moral: Good job!

Dera, I'm sorry you had so much trouble with your bead looming adventures

Purely by coincidence, it was the first technique I learned how to do, I was introduced to it by a friend's mother when I was about 16. And all I had available at the time were the crappy, unevenly shaped, unevenly drilled beads that you could get at places like JoAnn's or Yarn N Darn. Probably the same beads you tried to use. I would be happy to help you; send me a PM if you wish
