Seed beads are these wonderful little things out of glass! I love to play with them in my hands. I love their colors, their limitless use to pimp up everything, the variety to create a structural piece or to create colorful effects. I love the creativity they cause in me working with them.I love the variety in sizes and forms, enabeling me to find exactly the right ones for the purpose I need them for. I love to mix beads with different handcraft techniques I am working on.

They used to just get stuck in my shoes now they are stuck in my brain with endless applications, sizes, coatings and combos!

Like others.. I just love the vast color and finish selections and the versatility of seed beads. You can create something quick and simple and complex and they can be combined with so many other elements to create something beautifully unique.

OMG - those tiny little bits of glass with great color and a hole in the middle. They just suck right into your heart and stay there! What isn't there to love about them.

I love seed beads because they are a tiny speck of light. My favorites are transparent and translucent colors, they transfer light and color amongst themselves. You can change how they look with colored thread and with what you put next to them. I like Charlottes and 3-cuts, cause they sparkle even more. Wish I had 15ºs that lit up! Seed Beads make me happy!

I love their colors, size and regularity. I love their versatility too. By far my favorite seed beads are cylinder beads. They can wedge into each other to give stability to a weave, and their sparkle is more selective than that of rocailles but much more general than that of single facet charlottes.

This is a great weekly post idea. Now for the seed beads oohhh and aaahhh what's not to like about seed beads. From the old French cuts to the new hex and all the rounds in between. Making art with tiny pieces of glass has been my passion for most of my life.

Seed beads are so unassuming and nondescript....until they are in the hands of a master (such as the ladies on the panel!) and then the magic happens! They morph into enchanting displays of color and form...YUM!

As I said to my friend Kerrie, my answer will be a little from everything already said; I love seed beads for their shape, their colors and for all the possibilities of creation they offers. I'm completely addicted to them.

I love the infinite design possibilities that you can get from one "pile" of seed beads. Just stopping and thinking about all of the designers who work with seed beads and how different their work looks is amazing. Then, on top of that, changing colors within a design can give a piece a whole new look-and that's SO easy to do with seed beads!

I love this question of the week! So many wonderful ideas from such a dedicated group of people! I use seed beads to add a tiny bit of sparkle between gemstones to make jewelry for the office. Just enough to add an exquisite touch without being overpowering. I am always expanding, learning and growing. There is so much to absorb! The possibilities are limitless.
