Hard to search for "beaded bead"

I'm looking for patterns for the large hole beaded beads

did find one I like but the designer had been ill and is not able to send her patterns out

in the mean time, hope to find something similar

Plan to use them on ropes or ribbons so I want the large hole, mostly 11/0 beads so I can coordinate them with the pendants I'm making

Anyone have some links to share?

Hi, 

I have never seen a large hole 11/0 seed bead. I doubt they exist, but who knows.

Google beaded beads, and I am sure you will find something you can use. 

Should be something on You-tube

Happy Beading!!

There are some large hole beaded beads on this page, Happyland.

I know someone else also sells them, but I can't remember who.  If I can find it, I'll come back and post the page.

I think what Pleiades is asking for, are patterns for beaded beads that would have a larger hole so that she may wear them as you would a Pandora Bead. 

Happy Beading!!

Thank you, the Eclipse is about what I had in mind. Unfortunately I don't speak the language...

I did receive the one I had ordered, will play with that one first. 

They have some really nice designs!

too bad I don't read Italian....

I have been searching on the internet

Since there is no original name for this type of bead, I've done a lot of searching through items that had nothing to do with the pattern I hoped to find.

I found the one I was thinking of.  This one by Kerrie Slade is more like a Pandora bead.  Scroll down the page to see it, it's called Core Beaded Bead.

I love Kerrie's patterns! I have quite a few

I was looking for something a bit smaller... though I suppose I could have played with this pattern, usually they can be adapted...

I do want to make this one, thinking of a holiday scarf thing ;-)

How about making a peyote tube and then embellishing the top surface.
