I know I'm new here and maybe unknown and/or possibly boring, but I'm
starting to think I'm the only one who can see my posts. I've posted several honest questions and not one nibble of answer. I thought at least the bead shop owners and designers would venture a comment about my question as to whether the Japanese seeds will crowd out the Czech in the market? I know some of you prefer the Czech like I do... Also still looking for a brand recommendation and method of application for the "artist's fixative" all the sources recommend for adding to the permanence of metallic/galvanized finish beads. Has anyone actually done this? Monique in TX so many beads, so many questions, so little time. |

... I thought at least the bead shop owners and designers would venture a comment about my question as to whether the Japanese seeds will crowd out the Czech in the market? I know some of you prefer the Czech like I do... I saw this post, and a response from Barbara, yesterday. Also still looking for a brand recommendation and method of application for the "artist's fixative" all the sources recommend for adding to the permanence of metallic/galvanized finish beads. Has anyone actually done this? I don't recall seeing this post. Sometimes things escape into the ether, sometimes a post just gets missed by the people who might have been interested in responding, sometimes the people who might want to respond aren't around right now, and sometimes no one has a response. Try not to take it personally... as you can see from other threads, we're a friendly, helpful group generally. ) (HTH - I am one of those who has nothing to add to your actual questions/discussion, sorry but ... I'm here for eye-candy and the people, I have almost no expertise/opinion!) Alison |

Has anyone actually done this? I don't recall seeing this post. Most of us only answer posts we find interesting. That said, I think there is a place for both the Czech seeds and the Japanese. I do not think that the Japanese seeds will crowd out the Czech market since a lot of designers only use seed beads for spacers between larger beads and the Czech ones are better for that kind of design. Can't help you on the other question. Patti |

Czech seeds
Thanks folks! Methinks my mailer's eating messages. Barbara, I sure
didn't see your reply. Thanks for answering. I'll see if I can retrieve it from the ether. mumble, mumble, dadgum electrons.... I'm glad that people think the Czech seed beads are "safe" in the marketplace. I'm sure I don't know how the bead shop owners decide what to stock--can't have space for *everything," and it's all sooo pretty. I can imagine it's easier to order in the Japanese by color number and whatnot, but there's something about running a hank of seed beads through the fingers... I had 24 hours in Prague last year. I wish I had the trip to do again. I might have skipped a palace or two and gone to a bead market/outlet. Monique in TX who received in the mail yesterday some itty bitty lapis cylinders that are almost small enough to count as seed beads. |

I replied to your post. As far as a fixative, there are several
suggestions on the web, although I don't know them offhand. Barbara Bead & Polymer Clay Votary There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Has anyone actually done this? Monique in TX so many beads, so many questions, so little time. I think both types of beads have their uses. I prefer Japanese seed beads or delicas for loomwork because they require less culling, but I like Czech beads for fringe and offloom techniques that don't demand as much precision. -- Lindsey http://artwork-by-lindsey.blogspot.com |
