Just as for playing music, one has to practise making beads, and never was I better at making dotties, I would guess, than in 2007. That's not to say I was ever very good at making perfectly calibrated sizes, but by virtue of making so many, I was sometimes able to pull sets.

This is one such, though as far as I know it was never made into anything or sold, so eventually the beads were mixed back into the trays.
