Playing With The New Beads




These are some of the Toho beads I ordered. I chose the colors at night under artificial light. I also didn't realize that the marble beads (they look gold) are smaller than the other beads (all were 11/0). Still, I'm basically happy with what I made. I played with the design as I went along. I don't think my eyesight will allow me to work from a pattern. Getting older is not for the faint of heart.

I can see very little difference in the size of the beads Deb - but I know from trying myself that a slight variations puts a wonk into things and drives you batty.

Nice work though! Looks lovely together.

btw - glad you got info from Beading Daily. It is quite a handy newsletter.

Another one is Fire Mountain Gems if you don't already have that. They are more expensive than other places if you are ordering beads. I didn't find that out until after my first big order.
