Thank you for bearing with me. I'm really hoping someone here can shed some
light on this new arena I've chosen!

I know first hand what you can do with pressed dried flowers so I look
forward to seeing your newest endeavor.

Aula, have you queried the needlework ng?

No, I hadn't thought of them. I have spent parts of today split between
leaving cards for doing woven cane [another one of my talents] throughout
the county at furniture refinish or antique shops and part of it bead
shopping. I was surprised that the term 15/0 was not a familiar one in any
of the bead shops where I enquired. I finally ended up with some stuff, but
may well resort to the lovely needlework shop and the internet in the
future in order to get colors I want. This will take some trial and error
but I think the style I am pondering will be significantly different from
what is currently available as I am leaning heavily into expressing
blackwork in the 15/0 beads in beadpoint style. An addition of some
victorian fringing at times and voila, we will see what we have!

experimentation.

Oh no! Starting with basketry [remember my foray into pineneedle basketry a
year ago?], beading, and then on to many other dear subjects. I'm in deep
deep trouble here!

No luck at Tatanka?????

Generally when I'm looking for seed beads I just call them "tens", or
"elevens". Maybe you'll have more luck if you just call them "fifteens".
Any bead shop, even if they don't carry them should be familiar with the
term.

Some, but I was amazed that the staff in the store were not familiar with
the term 15/0 seed beads [the owner was not there]. If I had simply left
the store after they told me that they did not know what that was but rather
kept snooping around I would not have discovered that they do carry some of
those beads. I had explained to them that I was starting a whole new area
of crafting and had absolutely no knowledge of beading. While one of them
did eventually call the owner to find out about the 15/0 seed beads, they
otherwise were not particularly forthcoming with offering assistance. And,
considering the large variety of colors in other sizes, I was surprised that
there were few colors [about 40] and they were not labeled as to type of
color. This may be something which an experienced beader can readily
discern, but I had no idea if I was looking at AB, luster, etc. Maybe I was
cranky with frustration after the number of craft stores I've been in
looking for stuff, and that colored things, I don't know. The store does
seem to have many many lovely beads and supplies and seems to be well laid
out. Maybe I just hit them at a bad time. I will go back, I was just
frustrated.
