Beadshops in China?

PullanPej — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:19:32 GMT

Hi all beadlovers!

I'm going to China in april and I want tips on where I can buy beads. I'm going to visit Bejing, Chongqing, Chengdu and Shanghai. Perhaps some of you have been there and have some tips. And also some tips of how I bargaining the best.

Thank you!

Anyone interested in some Wubbers pliers? (CLOSED)

KipperCat — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:55:08 GMT

Last fall I got fed up with my cheapie pliers not even holding on to jumprings. So I bit the bullet and bought a few pairs of Wubbers. Then I realized that the no-longer-working pliers weren't the ones I got as beading pliers, but a really cheap set that DH had picked up for me. (6 pliers for $5!)

A year later, I'm more into beadweaving than ever. My bead store pliers will probably last me for years. My first thought for a trade would be seed beads... or crystals, pearls, cabs, or czech glass! An outright sale could work also.

Smocking Pleater Machine

NicoleT24 — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:37:14 GMT

Ok, I'm guessing no one has one of these they're interested in parting with... but I thought I'd check.

I'm looking for a smocking pleater machine. Brand new they're about $200 which I'm hoping to avoid spending if I can. I thought maybe someone might have an old machine that they were willing to trade some fabby beads for or even offer for sale--I'd entertain lots of options to take it off your hands for you! (for me! :D)

I used to smock when I was a kid, my aunt taught me, but she used to send me fabric that she pre-pleated on her machine (which she still uses and she lives half way around the world now). I woke up this morning and had a fabby idea for some jewelry that incorporates smocking! :D Now I just have to find a pleater that won't break my bank! :)

Thanks!

Have yarn, embroidery thread, floss etc -- Will Trade for Beads & Findings

Carabet — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:24:44 GMT

I hope I'm posting this in the right place!

I still love to knit socks, but my latest obsession is beading. Any knitters or crocheters out there who would be interested in trading beads for yarn?

I have lots of things I'm interested in selling or trading.

* Good-quality (much of it hand-dyed) sock yarn

* Lion Brand Homespun

* Lace weight in quantities big enough for large shawls

* Baby yarn in pastel colors w/sparkles (perfect for afghans etc)

* Misc other DK, Sport, Worsted and Bulky

I also have a ton of needlework/embroidery floss, thread, cotton, rayon and others. And balls of #8 DMC crochet cotton in many colors. The cotton is perfect for use with size 6/0 (4mm) bead crochet ropes (and possibly size 8/0). (These items were purchased many years ago at a going-out-of-business sale at a local needlework shop.)

I'm looking primarily for seed beads (all sizes and colors); Swarovski or Czech bicones and fire-polished; and also smallish (up to 10mm or so) beads of any type in quantities suitable for necklaces and/or bracelets).

If you're interested, I can give you more details about what I have available. Some things are listed in my Ravelry for trade or sale page (id: carennh), but there's quite a bit I haven't posted on there yet. If you do leave me a msg on Ravelry, please let me know you saw my note here on BD. Thanks!

Polymer clay for seeds

jenls — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:05:04 GMT

Hi there, I have a bunch of polymer clay that I would like to swap for seed beads, preferably miyuki 8 - 11 or similar. I'm not sure if anyone here is particularly interested in clay, but if you are, let me know and I'll post the colours and quantities. The brand is Du-kit which is New Zealand made and has a great reputation here, but I don't know if it's well known out of Nz..

It turns out clay is just not my thing, I love the work others do with it, but it's a talent I don't have.

Want beadbooks - have Cooks Illustrated hardback annual compilations for 2009 and 2010

KipperCat — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:28:44 GMT

These were a Christmas gift, and haven't been opened. I might love to keep them, but I already have the magazines, and there are some beading books I really need!

You can see these listed if you google

America's Test Kitchen bookstore

I could probably post this message with one link, but I'm a bit gun-shy about the automatic moderating.

COMPLETED want to sell gift certificate for Beadaholique at 10% discount

KipperCat — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:16:10 GMT

I was blessed with gift certificates for Christmas, and would like to sell this one. It is for $50 to Beadaholique, and I'll sell it for $45.

Because it is entered on the site as a code, you can't use it together with any other code, such as the sale codes they run from time to time.

If you like fun and unique beads?

Wanting to swap seed beads for:

CryssT — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:20:24 GMT

First let me say that I left the list of how many 11s and 14/15s I had at work.

Second I know there are over a hundred tubes of beads.

There's also a few 8s. Lots of colors.

What I am looking to trade for is:

Findings: copper, pewter, gunmetal (I'd love sterling or gold-filled but those are way expensive).

Beadingwire: i prefer Softflex ..

Some of these are from Beyond Beads in Spokane, most of the rest are from Beads & Beyond in Seattle and a few are unmarked. Most tubes are 3" long, a few are somewhat smaller

If you want pictures of the beads to pick colors send me an email and next week I will send picks.

If you just want seed beds no color preferred, just let me know what you'd like to trade.

need findings

LeeBG — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 01:38:54 GMT

Hello all!

I would love (in either sterling silver or 14kt gold);

leverback earring findings

lobster clasps

jump rings

Hope to hear from someone soon.
