Post Christmas to-do list:
1. List beads on eBay. Done. Okay, I just listed a few, but it’s a start (see seller cmy1 if you are interested in some cheap cat’s eye beads or memory wire). I do need to list more strands and individual beads that I don’t have any interest in doing anything with. 
2. Clean up post-holiday creation frenzy in my bead room. Oof. That may take days. One of the things I find when I clean my bead room is that I make a pile of things that I have a really good idea for, or that speak to me at that moment. Unfortunately, the pile often is larger than the one of things I put away.
3. Experiment with hard boiled eggs. No, don’t make that face. 
I’ve read and heard that you can oxidize silver using hard boiled eggs. Less smelly and dangerous than using Liver of Sulfer. I’ve seen two different methods…one uses warm HB eggs, you leave the piece in a bag with smashed up eggs for a short period of time and rewarm the eggs in the microwave (removing all metal first!) as needed. The other method recommends a smashed up egg overnight in the bag with the silver. Since I have about 7 dozen eggs in the fridge right now (chickens think it’s spring), I can experiment to my heart’s content.
Updates later this week, I’m sure.
