Favorite type of bead

I am just throwing something to comment on. What is your favorite type of
bead to design with?

Mine are seed beads.

Just curious.

I can't answer that. Everything I make uses an enormous assortment of
bead types.

It is perfectly OK to plead the fifth in this situation. tee hee hee

hmm. Right now it is my sandblasted fused dichroic pendants combined
with Bali, crystals and seed beads. Or dichro pendants and gemstones. I
guess my first love will always be semi precious shaped beads, but then
I love artists' lampwork with crystals and Bali.

I love adding crystals of any size or shape to my creations.

I really like to work with sculptural lampwork the best. Since I make the
pieces that go into the jewelry I can have lots of funky fun. Fish are
probably my most favorite thing to work with followed closely by flowers (of
course). Oh and I LOVE those pressed Czech daggers and leaves and pointy
style beadies too.

Lately it seems to be fwp and seed beads (ack!)... and the smaller
lampwork spacer type beads. I want more of those but you guys make such
big beautiful ones!!! Who's got more spacers/small lampwork???

Right now... delicas and seed beads. But as I acquire small crystal
beads, they are intriguing me too.

The only type I've tried so far that I didn't like are some tubular
cat's eye seed beads labeled size 11/o but seem more like 8/o. They
don't seem to have been polished after cutting/breaking into beads,
and they cause my thread to fray badly. I've messed with them,
haven't made anything. Too bad - I love what they do with light.

Oh. And cheap seed beads. They're so variable that they really
annoy my perfectionistic desire for regularity.

Lampwork, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. How can we pick just one?
