I brought three cute tops, moisturized my hands, cleaned and painted my fingernails, put anti-frizz gunk in my hairenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Debug Build: 40407.4157)http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51981Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:15:27 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51981ElizabethG@39Lucite beads also work well for beaded beads. They too have a nice glow that shows, particularly with netted beads. The Beadin' Path in Maine has a good supply of them. I hadn't thought of using Resin beads - great idea!!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=51981" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51966Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:19:31 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51966Jean CampbellSandi: http://www.naturaltouchbeads.com.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=51966" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51957Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:01:08 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51957raggydaggydoIs there a website for the resin beads made in Java?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=51957" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51939Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:38:18 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51939Jean CampbellOooh! That's beautiful, Florence. The problem with resin beads is that most are handmade, but I didn't have any problem with the disks I got from Natural Touch. http://www.naturaltouchbeads.com. Might want to try there?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=51939" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51938Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:27:56 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51938florencebeadsHi Jean, Those beaded beads look great! I have a beaded bead with a resin core bead on my site, and from time to time a customer has asked me to write a pattern for it. I'm pretty sure that the resin core bead, with its soft luminescence and sea foam color is what is attracting their attention. I have trouble including the resin beads in a kit, however, because the ones I have found are not all the same size, and so I'm afraid my instructions will lead to a floppy or too tight cover for the resin core. (That was a long build up for a simple question!) Do you have a source for resin beads that are pretty uniform? Thanks! Florence Turnour www.beadinfinitum.com PS Here's the bead that I was talking about. The resin core is sea foam colored; you can see it more than you think. http://www.beadinfinitum.com/FlorenceGallery/FlyingSaucerBead.html <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=51938" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2009/11/04/ideas-for-using-resin-beads.aspx#51932Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:02:41 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:51932Jean CampbellHa!
