Bead guilty pleasures
I admit it. I love "purple turquoise", sleeping beauty turquoise which has
been dyed purple, and comes out chewing gum purple color with turquoise spots. It's tremendously expensive by the strand, but I found two pendants at a bead show this weekend and bought both of them and am thrilled! The dealer had broken up the strand and sold them by the piece since the strand was too expensive to sell that way. Since he only had two beads left, other people besides me must like this stuff. All my beady friends are horrified, lol. I was wondering what if anyone else has any beady guilty pleasures they would like to share? Patti |

Patti -- I like the occasional piece of plastic, especially if it is flowers.
Can't use it because it is "just not done." But like it anyway. LOL. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows |

N-V writes: And yes, I use plastic once in a while, mostly in conjunction with glass or stone beads to reduce weight. Also, there are some absolutely fun beads & charms that come only in plastic.... "Tropical Fruits" or "Jungle Animals" HK charms, for example, and glow in the dark beads (the only glass ones I've seen are Tink specials...). Kaytee "Simplexities" on www.eclecticbeadery.com |

Fluorite and tourmaline beads - I love the colors so much, but I don't make
jewelry much anymore, so I don't buy much. But I adore the blending purple, pink and green colors. Mmmmmmm. I also love anything Swarovski and would someday love to own some in every color just to look at. And sterling silver charms that are handmade in lots of nature or fantasy themes just kill me. I can drool all day. And of course certain lampwork artists make me want to cry at the beauty they create. I am just guilty all over.

I was wondering what if anyone else has any beady guilty pleasures they would
like to share? Patti I have so many! I am addicted to Japanese seed beads - especially size 15's. I hate most plastic beads. I refer to myself as a glass ho. I love lampwork but seldom use it because then I can't fondle it. I am not addicted to natural stone - the cost difference between glass and natural stone is a huge part of the reason for that. I seldom use Czech seed beads with the exception of charlottes.... *g* My beads have to be organized. The rest of the house can be chaotic but my beads need to be organized by color and size/shape. I firmly believe that she who dies with the most beads wins! and I mean to win!
