    Great idea, I've now ordered Jasper beads through eBay :)

    Thanks for the info Janis. I well know that happy dance feeling!

    Thanks Jim. I got the beads at my local Michael's craft store. You wouldn't believe the selection of stone beads they carry. These are the exact ones I used. Jasper Beads

    I simply glued them in the shallow holes I drilled out with a Forstner bit in the drill press. I had to order a 5/16" Forstner bit for it. If there was any question about whether I'm hooked, I think my happy dance when that Forstner bit arrived sealed the deal. ;)

    They look good but now I have to look up jasper beads.
