Where Can I Find?

Inventory Check

MichaelaJewelry — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:50:54 GMT

Hi there,

I recently went through my inventory and I have lots of components (mostly pendants) that I don't need or use. I was wondering if any of you know of any forums or places where I can sell these items. I feel that Etsy and Ebay are just flooded right now. I'm looking for somthing new.

Thank you!

pattern for peyote stitched starfish

Blue Water Beadworks — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:43:02 GMT

I cut a pattern for peyote stitched starfish by, Dulcey Heller, out of magazine (I think it was Bead Style) a while ago and put it in my file books, I went to get it out as I had a super brain storm idea and found I only had the first page. This works fine until I start trying to get them all together then I seem to get lost. If anyone has this pattern or knows where it might be found I would truly appreciate the help. I just got a great idea of a new way to use them in something else I am making and now no complete directions.

Mahalo for any help that anyone can give me,

bohobeachjewelry — Mon, 06 May 2013 10:35:02 GMT

Hey

I am shopping for a pair of wire pliers. But the kind that are flat, cone shapes. (on both sides) I hope you know what I mean.
Anyway, I have seen some in a few different shops, but such a large price difference. Whats an average price for them?

lynlynlora — Sat, 11 May 2013 23:19:03 GMT

I'm brand new to beading and I'm looking for a good online source to buy seed beads. the colors I'm looking for are rather specific, so I'm looking for an impressive color selection without being absurdly expensive, since I'm also cheap. I'm sure you've all gotyour preferred sources, anyone out there have a suggestion?

zig zag bracelet

KimD@86 — Thu, 09 May 2013 13:55:55 GMT

I posted this a few days ago in the Beading Daily forum, but it doesn't appear to be very active, so I thought I might get more of a response if I posted it here. I'm looking for the zig zag bracelet pictured in the May 5 edition of the Beading Daily e-newsletter. I think it's a Jean Campbell Design.

beads for scarf jewellery

beadinstyle — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 04:13:59 GMT

I would like to find some VERY LARGE hole beads for scarf jewellery and pendants. Probably needs to be lightweight because of their size, minimum 15mm hole, prefer larger so the scarf threads through? And some of those very large end caps, too? I would prefer wholesale, but I'm a little out of my depth ... I'm not sure what to call the beads I'm looking for, so I can search, or ask *sigh*.

Thanks, all.

thanks!

Stronger magnetic clasps for bracelets???

carolee1945 — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:01:55 GMT

The magnetic clasps I have used come apart if I do the least little thing, like taking my coat off. I guess a bracelet gets more of a work out than a necklace. Do you think these clasps are only meant for necklaces???Please let me know if there are magnetic clasps than work for bracelets. Thanks ahead of time.

size #12 beading needles that don't bend so easily

brightcircle — Thu, 02 May 2013 03:12:04 GMT

Size 12 beading needles work nicely for me for most of my seed beading needs (they can make multiple passes through seed beads that size 10 can't) but most of mine bend so, so easily and can only be reshaped so much. Any recommended brands?

A good travel organizer?

MigotoChou — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 18:05:04 GMT

Looking for Swarovski tennis bracelet pattern

DebWAZ — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 17:58:26 GMT

Please help!!!

I've got a winter visitor customer who is trying to find the pattern for a tennis bracelet that uses 3mm Swarovski bicones and 3mm hexagon faceted s/p or g/p spacers.

I cussed this pattern last year because I must've had 100 customers come in looking for the 3mm Swarovski. I have the 3mm spacers, but we don't sell Swarovski smaller than 4mm - even if we did, whichever colors we had wouldn't be the colors those people wanted. I can't tell you what the stitch is - probably RAW, but I don't know for sure.

I've since seen the bracelet done with 4mm crystal and the 3mm spacers and it looks much better that way, in my opinion, of course.

If anyone can tell me where to find, buy or otherwise obtain this pattern, I'd greatly appreciate it!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Good w/ old beads/trade beads? I need help identifying...

antoinettecav — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:06:48 GMT

Hello,

If anyone here is good with identifying old beads I'd greatly appreciate your help. I've been looking for these beads off and on for a long while now. I purchased this old Fulani necklace (about 4 yrs ago) online and the beauty of the beads has been mesmerizing me ever since. The thing is, I've developed a crush on these beads - I absolutely LOVE everything about them (the color, size, shape, slight irregularities). I've noticed that anytime I'd ever seen these beads in the past has been in Fulani necklaces. When I purchased the necklace, the description read "European glass trade beads" which is a pretty broad description - I think they may be Venetian (not sure). Back then, I should have asked the company or seller if the beads had a more specific name, but I wasn't as desperate to find them back then so it didn't cross my mind. Now I can't find anymore necklaces containing those beads anywhere, so there's no seller to ask.

I would love to find some of these beads to use in my beaded work and I wouldn't dream of taking this necklace apart and using these beads. I've used every search term and combination of words imaginable in google trying to find these: light blue, powder blue, robin's egg blue, venetian, european, glass, beads used in fulani necklaces, cylinder, tube, flat ends, trade beads, etc.

I'm including a photo of my necklace. As you can see, there are a few different shades of blue within the strands and the lightest blue beads appear to have a very thin translucent coating over them which makes them appear shinier than the other blues - hard to see this in the photo though. I like all of the blue beads so if they are two different types of beads, I'd be happy just knowing what one of them is.

If you know where I can find them or have any helpful info for me, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much!

Antoinette

real snakeskin beads/sea snakeskin

susbeads — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:15:55 GMT

Hi-

I am looking to buy the snakeskin covered beads that I see some using on beaded bracelets, I believe it is sea snakeskin. These are not the natural jasper snakeskin beads, but real snakeskin beads usually used as an accent bead on bracelets. I did find one company in England that sells them, but does anyone know of a US connection? Thanks.

Lamp with magnifier - any recommenations

Brenda_md — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:39:51 GMT

Hello,

I need to buy a table top lamp that also offers a magnifier for beading. Lighting is my primary need with magnification as an option when needed. I have seen lamps where the magnifier is centered within the lighting and other lamps allow you to swing the magnifer into place when needed.

Which type do you use or find best to work with with? I don't want to spend a fortune on the lamp. Thanks.

Brenda
