Miyuki Glass Drops
 
OK, since Dr. Sooz is crackin' the whip here, I just wanted to say how
much I love Miyuki glass drops :-) I bought a bunch of different
colours and used them for the first time on last week with a new
necklace that I finished on Tuesday (when it stops raining I'll get
pictures). I had previously bought some orange Czech glass drops, but
they were hard to pair with any colours that I had. I had also ordered
some brown Miyuki drops, but wasn't sure what to do with them either
(Can you guess that I'm prone to spending accidents? :-D). Anyway,
voila, orange and brown went together so well! I only wish that the
orange drops had the clarity of the Miyuki ones. The orange ones are
about 2cm long and the Miyuki ones are probably less than 1/4 of that.
I'm really jazzed about them, I haven't looked to see if they come in
bigger sizes, but I hope they do :-)

Best,
Christine

Miyuki drops are 3.4mm and as far as I know, that's the only size they make.

Magatamas are about 4mm and slightly squarish.

There are no spending accidents. Only preparations for future projects.

LMAO! Marisa, I love that :-) That deserves to be done up in x-stitch
or beadpoint.

Don't we all Becki? A local craft chain went out of business about five
years ago and I bought a lot of fabric at a very good price...now I'm
thinking of selling the fabric because it's just not going to happen.

My latest accident is a doozy...I'll have a sales ad soon. I
underestimated how much a half kilo of seed beads is :-D

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for letting me know. That's kind of a shame they don't come
bigger. I haven't heard of magatamas before. I'll have to order a
sample :-)

Best,
Christine
