"Sargasso Sea" and "Zen Tube II" arrived today. I LOVE Sargasso Sea, but Zen Tube II... it's awesome! It's The Tink Bead I've been waiting for. Does anyone know that feeling, of when you want a certain something that only a certain artist can capture, and you wait and wait until That Certain Bead comes along, and it HAS it? This bead has it. Tinkness. I've been too slow until now to get the Tinkiest beads, but THIS time I got lucky.
I got Tink beads!

Thank you SO much, Kalera! I love it when a bead finds its rightful owner! And you have the very first of the Zen Beads, if I'm not mistaken. I've really Dharma'd up the studio... Listening to Vienna Teng... Resin in the censer... Whole new level of Tinkiosity :-)
Did you see the new Zens I have up? Funny story about the pendant, which I will share only with the pendant's new owner. LOL!

Yes I know that feeling. I waited until I found my Tink bead made for me.
Now I'm having pangs wanting to Rent a Tink. I have a feeling I know what she really calls it. LOL
Bwahahahahahaaaaaaaa! I have a feeling you're probably right. LOL!
I can't believe what a success the Rent-a-Tink has been! Both for me AND my customers! I love doing it...

Ohhh, those are SWEET! The hollow... whoa!
What is that white you're using for those? Is that the Vetrofond transclucent white I keep missing out on? Every time I order, it's either "still in the container", or "just sold out". !!!

Very astute of you to notice the difference, grasshopper. All the new stuff I have up is Bullseye! The white I'm using (and I have NO idea which Bullseye white it is) falls somewhere between Effetre ivory and Effetre white. I think I like it.
But there's no dense black, and I'm lost without it. See my "Yes, We Have No Bananas" bead? That needed intense black. Without it, it turned into an over ripe banana. LOL!

Yep, and I've experienced it with both Tink and your beads. I feel like the ones I own capture the essence of your styles.
It's a neat idea, Tink. I'm not surprised it's been a hit.

Oh, sounds like 0013 enamel white. I like enamel white for whitehearts or the base for layered florals, since it stays put and doesn't "creep" out from under your encasing layer... it's nice.
Try buying their premade black 1mm stringers... they use a different formula for those. It's very different... extremely opaque, and has a bit of sparkle to it. I don't know if they use the same formula for the
2mm stringers, because they didn't have those yet when I got mine, but I imagine they would.-Kalera

Okay, I went and asked, and I think that's a super-cool idea! Russ says hi.

So you like it, eh? It's been very, very successful! And fun for me, which is even more important to me right now.
