When choosing sizes of clay to use for beading or molds I use a plastic gauge guide for drill bits. It is a flat piece of plastic with various sizes of holes...
... Hey Laurel, Unfortunately, each bead roller is made for only one finished size and shape of bead, from what I understand. That's why they sell "small" ...
... I buy mine at a restaurant supply store called Smart and Final (I didn't even know these kinds of places existed, but you can usually find them in the...
Personally, I haven't found an easy way of measuring the 'blob' used in the
rollers......... I still use the little bottom-less tube that comes with the...
Hi Patty! We sure do have a great group here! I can't thank you enough for explaining this in (more) detail for me. I

Hi Laurel, I don't think you were wrong to complain at all! I would have been horrified, and probably unable to make such a trek. What if a vendor happened...
That's terrible. I don't think you were whiny at all. I also think you should write a letter to the organizers and the editor of the local paper. Maybe even...
Laurel, After what you went through, I'd say your reaction was quite mild. It does seem that they weren't aware ahead of time of the problems they were...
