Beads with Chinese or Japanese characters...

Cebelia — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:02:05 GMT

I have been looking on eBay for some months (without success), for spherical glass or ceramic white beads with Asian characters, 10mm or smaller.

There are several recurring entries for 12mm or larger beads, but not the small sizes.

I don't live in the US, so need to purchase through the 'net.

I'm looking for the beads to spangle lace bobbins made from chopsticks!

Thanks -

Cebelia

Where can I find inexpensive sterling beads, finding ect...

crazytxbeader — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:32:33 GMT

I have been making jewelry for a couple of years now for my own collection, but I just recently have gotten pretty serious about it. I just went to my first bead show in Dallas and that just solidified my addiction. I've even sold a couple of my designs. Talk about a head trip. It's very exciting. I am now faced with what I bet is a very common problem. Apparently I have expensive taste, because what I find myself gravitating towards are high dollared items. With that being said I would like some advice. I'm always looking for bargins, but I'm torn between quality and price. So... I guess what I'm trying to ask in a very long wordy way is I would like help finding websites that offer discounts and low prices without sacrificing quality. I have a tax id. I'm interested in most anything sterling silver and also turquoise, coral, swarovsky crystals and pearls... that will get me started I think. Thanks.

Simple swarovski and spacer project

Cygne — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:45:32 GMT

Looking for a pattern (v, v, simple) that used longish headpins, three or five hole silver spacers, and swarovski bicones. You stacked the crystals and spacers, using the headpins to connect. They were then mounted on a chain or wire neck ring. What I can't remember is how the headpins were finished off and what kind of a bail was used to attach the finished pendant. My DD has decided she wants to give them as favors to her guests at her 18th b'day party, and I am having a menopausal moment. Thanks

Ribbon Elastic.

Maisie_D — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:12:59 GMT

In the 52 Bracelet magazine, they talk about ribbon elastic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Beaded Star pattern DESPERATE

Fierce Critter — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:12:50 GMT

Hi!

I've been searching everything from the 'net to books to magazines to stores for a pattern for a beaded star and not having any luck.

I'm sure you're familiar with the puffy 3D heart made from crystal bicones, right? I'm basically looking for something similar, but in a star.

I have found a simple pattern for one that requires 30 round beads. It's not bad, but I'm hoping more for something made with bicones.

Any help offered will be super-appreciated.

Thanks!

Critter

Have you seen this bead?

Cam1 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:42:21 GMT

Hi all,I'm looking for the bead below in case my LBS can no longer supply it. Actually, I got these at a BS that isn't local to me, but over 2 hours away. So if I can find them online, it may be easier to continue my project. They're a large hole tube that is like a cage/basket weave/solid mesh. Thanks!

I am looking for a pattern to make barefoot sandals. They are made from gold elastic cord with beads placed around the ankle and on the top of the foot. A loop of cord goes around the second toe.

Czech picasso gemstone donut beads!!!

pkoeschger — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:02:23 GMT

okay - here's the deal - i would love to create something with these beautiful opaque faceted beads, but i'm killing myself trying to find the "best" wholesale source for these....I say wholesale, because I don't think buying a handful of beads (25-50) is considered wholesale, but I'm not interested in buying a boatload as well......any help would be gladly appreciated.
