Miyuki Glass Drops
I CANNOT quit laughing!!!! Have we not all been there? What color?
:-D Glad to have made your day! I have transparent red, opaque black, opaque white and transparent crystal. It seemed more economical to order them by the half-kilo than by the hank. So I thought...well, I would probably end up using a lot of the basics - black and white - and then of course because I do Christmas crafts, red and silver. It's probably a good thing I said "Hmm, this is getting expensive" or else I would have green and gold as well! Well gosh...a half kilo is 1.1 lbs btw. So I have 4.4 lbs of beads! That's more than a lifetime's worth of seed beads :-D I can't believe that it didn't dawn on me that I was ordering that much. We're booked for three Christmas craft sales, so I'll bag a few of each colour and maybe they can find new homes. A friend has already taken 40 grams off my hands, but if I can sell 250 grams of each, that would make a sufficient dent. I'll be sure to take a picture when I get home. Best, Christine |

I love miyuki drops! I use them for so much..borders on peyote stitch,
in free-form peyote, in bead embroidery, in spiral rope (they look amazing in spiral rope)...I have so many tubes of them that they take up two and a half organizers. -Amber. |

I can see why you love them so much! It sounds like you have a real mountain of them. I haven't tried spiral rope or peyote, although I have a Beadstyle Basics magazine which shows how. Thanks for sharing that idea...I'll have to try it with once I master it with seed beads :-) Best, Christine |

Hi Alison,
Here you go: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/halfkilo.jpg I have to admit the black pile is a little on the low side since I filled up some empty tubes with it. Not that you would ever know of course :-) Best, Christine |
