I found a site with really pretty beads and...

LOL - That makes me wonder what you see when you look at the cobalt beads. Or what you see when you look at fuchsia (really bright hot pink).

Cobalt blue: Very very pretty color. Fuchsia: It all depends on the lighting and angle. lol

It's really funny - my brother has always had artistic talent, but when he painted pictures, they always seemed too dark to me. We found out when he joined the Air Force that he is slightly color blind - he confuses certain shades of blue & green! Interesting that it never came up until then. Kind of makes you wonder though, what colors each of us REALLY see, for example, when we look at fuschia? (one of my favs by the way)

Yup. I'm on her list.

I would think the trick is to make enough spacers (especially in non custome colors) so that you'll have them in a choice of sizes, or even graduated sizes.

These are very pretty, uniform, and well-shaped spacer beads.

You don't know how true you are. Reds and greens are a big problem for me as well as blues. All of them change color when I look at them. It's kind of like those lights you see at Christmas that sit at the base of a tree and turn and change color. Well that's pretty much my natural world. lol They always change. :)

Now we come to the question again of .. do we all see the same color when we look at something.. No.. of course not. Here we have a color blind person who sees things differently and we have me who would say that fuschia is a intense pink with warm undertones of blue. To mix it using paint I would make a hot pink and then add just a tad of blue, so its edging up to be purple but its not quite. Diana.. who thinks Harry would look wonderful in cobalt and fuschia... :-)

Those are simple little spacers (check the sizes, pretty small). Easy to make once you get the hang of controlling the glass. It takes me about 5 minutes to make 6 on a mandrel (my usual drill when I do spacers). I'm impressed by the prices she's getting, nice to see someone in a good range.

I too see hot pink toned down by a touch of blue which sounds like raspberry doesn't it? Of course it isn't at all. In my eye raspberry has more blue.

LOL... I bet I would also! Another, young memory is, that I had a girlfriend that bought me a lavender shirt for my birthday and my mother explain it best as... it's PURPLE! I loved the shirt very much and wore it till it wore out.lol I think of seeing colors as the way people taste food. Food doesn't taste the same to 2 different people. :)

LOL Not blue, you silly! We grow raspberries and they're actually every color of pink and purple (there's your blue, Harry) under the sun. Would it surprise you to know that blackberries aren't really black?

ROFL! I honestly thought they were blue and that black berries are black? Now we may have a problem if strawberries aren't red! lol I am not even going to go into the citrus spectrum!

Wellllll.......:=) Strawberries are red when they're ripe but start out a pale shade of yellow with a tinge of green. LOL

My grandmaw had a huge bush in her side yard that was to die for. It was actually a bunch of blackberry, black and red raspberry canes. All five of us kids would go there with 1lb coffee cans and fill them up. And believe me when I say there were still tons left for our cousins.

I'm trying to get bushes going but I have the kind that are more like vines. Red raspberries and black raspberries, mmmm...mmmm.... You're right the blackberries are even better. Wish I had some of those canes!
