Preciosa crystals
I'm not in a position to order yet which is killing me but I've seen a
sample card *pauses to clear keyboard of drool* of the Preciosa crystals. They are amazing. And I'd dump the S-word in a heartbeat once I can lay my hands on Preciosa. -Su *oooh something sparkly* |

Maybe Kalera would be willing to share a source for these? I love their colors as well. Patti |

Preciosa crystals
I can buy them direct from the manufacturer but I don't want to buy
mass amounts right now. They're gorgeous beads, and there is supposed to be a new distributor here in the UK in the coming months which will mean I can buy them without having to make up the bulk amounts I'd have to otherwise by buying direct. Some of the new colours and finishes are stunning and I can't wait to stock up my crystal storage box with them. I just ordered one in a moment of fiscal insanity after a good show last weekend from The Craft Kit Company, whose storage I love! It's this one http://www.thecraftkitcompany.com/large_cases.html Chrissy's Large Case. 118 boxes for little sparkly things! Yumm. -Su 'Two Gaffs' www.tillermanbeads.co.uk www.britishlampwork.co.uk |

I go through a lot of them as spacers, so I buy in bulk from czechbeads.com, but INM Crystal has them too, at reasonable prices with, I think, no minimum order: http://www.inmcrystal.com/ -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.bridgetownglass.com On eBay: http://www.snurl.com/1sfe |

Oooh I just noticed that INM doesn't have all the colors, though! Bummer.

I do think they're superb though, the quality of the samples was stunning. The only one I love in Swarki that they don't do is the faceted donut spacer thingy that I have a serious deep desire for. I almost commited mayhem to get my hands on the sample cards but I changed my mind at the last microsecond. Barely. I would love to see Preciosa take a bigger share of the crystal market. -Su |

Kalera,
Thanks for posting the sites. There are quite a few items on the INM site I'd like to order. They do have good prices on findings as well. Patti |

Shipwreck also carries Preciosa.
Has anyone seen the new Helsinki Crystals? Barbara Beader and Polymer Clay Crusader http://www.penguintrax.com and http://www.backseatgrammarian.com There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Last night on TV there was a great show about the trawlers who still go fishing in the North Sea, little 60' boats. So there I am, watching this show about boats going up and down in 30' waves and the wind starts picking up and I'm in a boat going side to side while the boat on the tv is going up and down.... I had to turn to a different channel. -Su |

Barb -
I have not seen the Helenski Crystals in person as yet, but I am hoping that they live up to the billing. More GOOD crystal choices would be nice. I am a sparkle Ho, and firepolished just doesn't do it for me. I want machine cut lead crystal. Katie, obviously a crow in a past life Barbara Forbes-Lyons wrote: Shipwreck also carries Preciosa.
