... I know first hand what you can do with pressed dried flowers so I look forward to seeing your newest endeavor. Aula, have you queried the needlework ng? No, I hadn't thought of them. I have spent parts of today split between leaving cards for doing woven cane [another one of my talents] throughout the county at furniture refinish or antique shops and part of it bead shopping. I was surprised that the term 15/0 was not a familiar one in any of the bead shops where I enquired. I finally ended up with some stuff, but may well resort to the lovely needlework shop and the internet in the future in order to get colors I want. This will take some trial and error but I think the style I am pondering will be significantly different from what is currently available as I am leaning heavily into expressing blackwork in the 15/0 beads in beadpoint style. An addition of some victorian fringing at times and voila, we will see what we have! -Aula, eyeing the supplies with trepidation and preparing for an evening of experimentation. |

Generally when I'm looking for seed beads I just call them "tens", or
"elevens". Maybe you'll have more luck if you just call them "fifteens". Any bead shop, even if they don't carry them should be familiar with the term. Tina "just me" ...........

... No luck at Tatanka????? Some, but I was amazed that the staff in the store were not familiar with the term 15/0 seed beads [the owner was not there]. If I had simply left the store after they told me that they did not know what that was but rather kept snooping around I would not have discovered that they do carry some of those beads. I had explained to them that I was starting a whole new area of crafting and had absolutely no knowledge of beading. While one of them did eventually call the owner to find out about the 15/0 seed beads, they otherwise were not particularly forthcoming with offering assistance. And, considering the large variety of colors in other sizes, I was surprised that there were few colors [about 40] and they were not labeled as to type of color. This may be something which an experienced beader can readily discern, but I had no idea if I was looking at AB, luster, etc. Maybe I was cranky with frustration after the number of craft stores I've been in looking for stuff, and that colored things, I don't know. The store does seem to have many many lovely beads and supplies and seems to be well laid out. Maybe I just hit them at a bad time. I will go back, I was just frustrated. -Aula |
