I have heaps of seed beads from my bead weaving stage, now past! Family will be doing lots of eye rolling when they have to dispose of them all when I go to Stitchers' Heaven! I agree with Mary that Japanese are best, although Mill Hill seem to be rounder. Hint for using Nymo thread on clothing, and for making bead woven jewellery: give it a good tug or two before you start stitching, as it will stretch.
I used to make Jewelry so have loads of beads and crystals just sitting there . I watched your other video and commented. You are the best teacher. Thank you .
Very interesting and remind me of the beads that were great years ago . Thank you, Sarah, for going to showing of how to use these and your “Washed up” of beads on the ocean- others showed how to make them- so interesting today! 💕
Oh such a treasure , love looking at your work, and listening to you telling the story’s 🥰😍🤩🙌🙌 My fave I believe is washed up but who can say one is fave? All of them are grand❣️❣️❣️
Another reason you want glass or really any bead that isn't plastic or has a Styrofoam center or coating you don't mind getting washed off melting or damaged is because if the item needs dry cleaned or really any other cleaning method aside from hand washed, particularly to get stains out then they will melt with various solvents and heat applications. Glass Crystal and stone and usually there's no danger of this but pearl beads are often Styrofoam or plastic or have a pearlescent coating instead of actual pearl.
Sarah I watched your video on how to make a dragonfly and want to have a go. Where can I find the fabric with the letter H in gold? I too used to make jewelry and am eager to combine my bead collection with embroidery.
Thank you for sharing your collection. I didn't know there was that many different shapes of beads. Even though I've just started I want to eventually use beads in my embroidery.
That strand of tiny seed beads is most likely size 15/0, as that's the smallest size you can commonly get. (Mill Hill, for example, sells size 15/0 beads under the "petite seed bead" name.)
Really enjoyed yr variety of types of beads and loved your use of beads that were given to you. Sarah, you are great teacher and professor and I really enjoy how you shows us how and what. So interesting !! Beads and Shias is wonderful on your elephant, tooThank you very much!💕
I used all glass beads for this project Shenaz, but you can use metal ones. Most of them should have a finishing on them to stop them rusting but if you need to wash them, then make sure they are thoroughly dry and not kept anywhere damp and they should be fine!
Thank you for your teaching, in your collection showed the face of a Native American, the face is embroidered?, why is the finish fabulous for the small size ❤️
Love your little beads above the long cuff of your grey sweater in other videos. Subtle rather than over the top. Though over the top is also fun. Wondering if you beaded that sweater yourself.
